Atlantis sind wir [English translation]

You can't reach it with a charter flight

The legendary country of fantasy

But you may never delet it from the

List of your dreams, you may never, you may never.

You may put billions in the research

And search for it in the cosmos

You will discoer the island nowhere

It's inside of you, it's inside of you

A star off track

The eternal snow

On the Jungfraujoch

A flying swan

Over the Lake Constance

How much longer?

A moment of love, as long as the finest hour

Space mastery and doomsday

Faith and doubt, generosity and greed

Atlantis, that's us, Atlantis, that's us, Atlantis, that's us.

You can browse through atlases

Go diving in the deep-sea with Jacques Cousteau

Go climbing on moutains with Reinhold Messner

You will not see it, you will not see it, you will not see it

You may move the globe in circles

Until the image of the world blurs

You see continents rise and fall

Until everything dies, until everything dies

A blue planet

In a meteor shower

Which destroys itself

The evening prayer

A nightingale

Is not heard

Around us is Brussels, inside of us Beirut

Creation and blind vandalism

Diabolic angel and divine animal

Atlantis, that's us, Atlantis, that's us, Atlantis, that's us.

The alleys of Vienna

The city park in May

Mozart's house

The rift between Berlin

The silent scream

Into the world

A flight through space

To the moon and back

Finally came true

The sensible dream

Of close happiness

At Christmas night

Greenpeace and terror

Peace and war

The language of weapoons and of music

Heaven and hell, today and here

Atlantis, that's us, Atlantis, that's us, Atlantis, that's us.
