Adler sterben
Udo Jürgens
Eagles Die
When I was a boy
Everything seemed so clear
Good and bad yes and no wrong and real
And the truth was pure
And the law was just
The world is a magic tree
The future was a dream
And the clown's smile is no trick
Only much later did I see
The world as it is
Eagles die
And the rats thrive
A Thousand Shards
And where there was freedom
Stone just stone
We fly through space
Are faster than sound
Breed genes according to your own plan
Building from nuclear reactors
Our own volcano
We have sown a storm
Our sails billowed
And the wonders of life thought through
But what do we have
Made from the earth
Eagles die
And the rats thrive
A Thousand Shards
Instead of truthfulness
Appearance only appearance
If this were my last song
Should it conjure up my dream
That it will happen one day
So that the blind can see
And the deaf hear
Eagles die
And the rats thrive
A Thousand Shards
Instead of truthfulness
Appearance only appearance
Eagles die
And the rats thrive
A Thousand Shards
And where freedom was stone
Eagles die
