TräNen Der Sehnsucht - Part I, II

A child of this earth lays down to sleep
It was a day of naked fear
How many times did it fall to the ground?
How many times did it laugh out of pain?
How many times did it scream at itself?
And was long deaf
Injured soul, last pain
Injured soul, last pain
Intellectual fear of love

Tears of silence - masks on the face
Lights cast shadows and keep it in the light
And it stands here - the child
With tears on the face
Lights cast shadows and keep it in the light
And it stands here - the child
With tears on the face
Lights cast shadows and keep it in the light
And it stands here - the child
With tears on the face
Lights cast shadows and keep it in the light

The night gave birth to its youngest child
A dream of love of its longing
A dream of the eyes - not of the hands
A dream to dream - not to live
A dream of the eyes - not of the hands
A dream of love of its longing

But the child's eyes knew no beauty
They were too weak for wonder

And the first light of the morning sun
It did not see the sun's rays
The morning did not dawn for the child
For in the morning it was blind
And the first light of the morning sun
It did not see the sun's rays
The morning did not dawn for the child
For in the morning it was blind
Its hands, however, grew old
And remained untouched

Tears of silence - masks on the face
Lights cast shadows and keep it in the light
Seduced to explain itself while breaking
Tears of longing - masks on the face
And it stands here - the child
With tears on the face
Tears of longing
Tears of longing
And it stands here - the child
With tears on the face

Tears of silence - masks on the face
Lights cast shadows and keep it in the light
And it stands here - the child
With tears on the face
Lights cast shadows and keep it in the light
And it stands here - the child
With tears on the face
Lights cast shadows and keep it in the light
And it stands here - the child
With tears on the face
Lights cast shadows and keep it in the light
