Adagio No. 8

when the silence is louder
       than the loudest song
when your world is sinking
       our whole old world
disappears like a broken ship
in the endless embrace of the ocean of forgetfulness

when the old world is sinking
and only a perverted keel protrudes from the ship
                completely hopeless

who will you save?
what will you save first?

in the middle of the ocean of oblivion
deep down below me
sticking out perverted keel

to new world
only love, faith and hope
I carry with me

when you in silence lovely hug me
I don't miss anything else
love, I don't miss anything else

save yourself first and foremost
be the first to be saved

that's the only way
I can be with you

through love, faith and hope
you will be the one to be save
through your caring me behavior
thank you so much, thank you
yes, you will be my only savior

through love, faith, hope and you
I fly to meet new world
through darkness, through me and you
through darkness, through...

I fly to new world
to new world
with love, faith and hope
through darkness

with loving me you
