Peace
Notausgang Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Siehst du was hier geschieht
in den Tagen dieser Welt
hast du vergessen, was du willst
in der Zeit in der du lebst
Wird das Leben dir geraubt
passe auf, woran du glaubst
klaut man dir die deine Welt
viel zu viele müssen sterben
für den Fortschritt unserer Zeit
Hast du dich schon mal gefragt
wie es weiter gehen soll
malst du dir ein schönes Bild
oder ist es dir zu wild
Kannst du es auch schon seh'n
die Zerstörung unserer Welt
Schaue nicht mehr länger zu
der Blindheit unseres Ruhms
viele zu viele müssen sterben
für die Blindheit unseres Ruhms
