This road ultimately offers no choice
In the end, there is no choice
And the human itinerary provides for no return
But a one-way trip, a year like a day, just colored sand
In the underlying ampoule of my hourglass
Time cannot be challenged
Time cannot be challenged
You move forever lazily
One dies in rigor
In absent motion
In thought without love
And this is what I fear
Because when I stop
My hour has come
It’s not over, it’s not over
It may seem so, but life is not over
You just need to have memory and perspective
Regardless of time
It’s not over, it’s not over
Despite all the evil, it’s not over
As long as I have memory and perspective
Regardless of time
Regardless of everything
Regardless of me
Silence does not always mean consent
Only rejection does not always find the words
I too, modestly, don’t understand, but I resist
And I fall silent from disgust
But what on earth do I have to do with all this
What on earth do I have to do with all this
Commanders, please do us a favor
If you make decisive decisions about our lives
Do it only in the moment right after your orgasm
Thanks to that moment of peace
We would have a world without anger
A world without war
Despite all the evil, it’s not over
As long as I have memory and perspective
Regardless of time
Regardless of everything
Regardless of me
