And every afternoon we traverse the city
To reach the other end of it
And every afternoon we traverse the city
To reach the other end of it

Ah katakatakina...

And every afternoon we're
looking for a different end of it
And every afternoon we're
ooking for a different end of it

And when the evening dims
we find ourselves
where the morning left us alone

Ah katakatakina...

And when the evening dims
we find ourselves
where the morning left us alone

And when the evening dims
we find ourselves...

Let Us Think About (Lass uns überlegen)

Let us think
how it should go on
as my mind is strangely empty
and the night is full of stars

Sometimes early in the morning
after the dreams of the night
I think of sleeping on
because dear god awakens

So he has been sleeping
within flowers and the sea
the children and love
and an air-rifle

Let us think
how it should go on
as it seems that time has changed
and is full of old wonders now

Let us walk together
through an other life
let us look onto old years
we would look onto a map

Let us get on
as it should go on
as new age will be different
and full of old wonders now

North House (Nordhaus)

In the year of the Lord 1994 we equipped
an expedition to the north house
we followed the tracks of those
who had gone that way before us
and we aimed our courage at ourselves

on the evening of the first day
we reached a garden that we didn't know yet
and we aimed our courage at ourselves

an the evening of the second day
we reached a worry that we didn't know yet
and we aimed our courage at ourselves

on the evening of the third day
we reached a door that we didn't know yet
and we aimed our courage at ourselves

On the evening of the fourth day
we reached a town that looked like Japan
Or at least like a shadowgraph of that country

Animals appeared along our path
and listened to our steps as if they were songs
And we aimed our courage at ourselves

Woods stood in our way
We swam the skies
and slowly neared the North House

In the year of the Lord 1995 we reached
the North House towards the end of fall
And we aimed our courage at ourselves

It grew out of the dark
It was wholly built from shadows
It grew out of the dark
It was wholly built from shadows
And it aimed our fear at ourselves

Give me your hand in the dark
Never leave me alone again
Give me your hand in the dark
Never leave me alone again
For the North House is nothing
but a shadowgraph of our fear

A fire of light and love (Ein Feuer aus Licht und Liebe)

the darkness was like a huge mantle
and my voice penetrated into time
the big night we walked along
we got light, became star song
oh darling small, oh darling let me be
at your bright side I want to be
what's left has no language you said
and quietly we closed the doors
we held each other, needed us so much
for what we know soon no longer existed
oh darling small, oh darling let me be
at your bright side I want to be
we went through the fire to the sea
my heart, my house
heaven fell into our reality
and within us lights burned clear and wide
the darkness was like a huge mantle
a fire came out of light and reality
