The craving for higher perfection Seduces the obsessed Into estrangement of body and soul Their cold glance wanders over burial mounds! No stone remains unturned No piece of earth unexplored No live stays sacrosanct - No live stays sacrosanct Nothing that couldn't be changed At his beginning he doesn't foresee That his time will exceed At his end he will understand The only thing that counts is his own agony What man begins: before his eyes it fades away He'd like to be a perfect man and executor But what remains is escape... But what remains is escape... All the beauty of the world, the world he lives in Means nothing compared to his creation He applies his own rules to everyone Who doesn't step aside, has to fall No stone remains unturned No piece of earth unexplored No live stays sacrosanct - No live stays sacrosanct Nothing that couldn't be changed The future of his children, a light-hearted game Played under the pretence of progress CARELESSNESS AS THE RESULT OF LOSS OF FEELINGS CARELESS HE STRIDES TOWARDS DESTRUCTION What man begins: before his eyes it fades away He'd like to be a perfect man and executor But what remains is escape... But what remains is escape...
