lyrics

Sometimes I follow the streets ages metastasized
spider's web through nation's mud
Spreading like cracks in the glass of a frame, lines in an old man's palm
asphalt veins returning blood

As I went west past the war cemetaries
where anti-tank-barriers still hide under trees
I reached the bunkers of the Atlantic Wall
Then I went east through the „what might have been“
waned in the janus-faced smile of Berlin
where stones, flags and chimneys point towards Birkenau – Do you remember?

I know it
so I can't be innocent
I know it
and it won't be the same
And do you think you are unspoilt and guiltless and free
you think you are
but innocent we'll never be
And the surface melts in the summer sun
but the streets don't know

So you are proud? Are you defined by your heritage?
I'm not defined by nationality but by responsibility
Every street leads to new borders , confronts me with my heritage
Can you see what I see? The front is still confronting me

Sometimes I follow the streets like when I was innocent
and thought they were built for reaching friends and finding new horizons
But they were customized for marching feet and on the same streets the armies set out
death blood and misery returned, And refugees. Do you remember?

I know it
so I can't be innocent
I know it
and it won't be the same
And have we ever been unspoilt and guiltless and free
maybe maybe
but innocent we'll never be
