Two rushing shades meeting face to face
Dull procedures come and go every day

A thousand tricks and one thousand smiles but
Life is not profound

An endless tide of ideas and belief
It's a mess, 'cause nobody thinks or feels
The sky laughs loud, entertainment for free
We are nothing

Gain, all we gain is trivial nonsense next to nothing
Our merit is: failing whenever we can
We are so precious...
But I say, we are next to nothing!
We are nothing, next to nothing, we are nothing

A friendly smile hiding misunderstandings
I see your mask but your soul I can't find

A thousand lost days, two thousand new ones
Tunnels light or dead end

Another night and even more days to come
And I've to look into mortal faces
It´s just an act of regret and farewell
We are nothing

I look at you and wonder
Is it me whom I see
I am one of those mortals too
I'm lost as well as you

Where is my sympathy
I'm not one of those
Who're loving life, loving life eternally
