lyrics

All the empty streets all the empty lives
Cars have left the cities birds are dying slower
And noone knows but newborn heroes give a try
Crematoriums breathe clouds into the sky

Here we are reflecting in the sun
the tragedies, the might-have-been
the smile behind the mask will remain unseen

And it's a strange spring silent as the fall
Together alone silent on our own
And it's a strange world

In the midst of life we are in boredom
In the midst of life we are half-dead

Pithy words of war and pervasive enemies
the same old song now and then
Those who can't achieve a crown will get themselves a mask
and play the strong man again
And life will end in pain an violence
after we died bored an in silence

But here we are reflecting in the sun
we're looking down from balconies
we move our hands applauding an empty world
in this strange spring
here on our own
and we save it now for later
and we're saving ourselves now for later
and we're safe but alone
Here on our own togerther alone

And neither it was love nor was it the bomb that brought us here together

Epilogue

I'm reading Camus while god's all alone again
I'm on my own again as I have been before
so I'm fetching my mask and pretend to gain hope again
