An institution sinks
A poisoned well
You're fire in the sea
I'm ice in hell
A cold sweat!
Leave regrets for death
They don't belong
A weightless guarantee
A whispered lie
I can do all that you please
Just let me sleep at night
Because my head's a shipwreck
Don't let it bring you any stress
My heart is still strong
Forward!
If the time has come
Ignore the cues, the starting gun
To make a break and waste away with me
The enemy, the charlatan
The dead end street, the blown engine
Yeah, money is thin
Life's hard, but not for long
Days changing states
Passing like thoughts, like hearts
My hands in yours
We'll carry on
Forward, girl!
The day is ours
Through blackened skies, with weary arms
You state all of your claims and sing along
No enemies, we charlatans
Our dead end street, my blown engine
Yeah, money is thin
Life's hard, so hard
But not for long
