Zeiten und Weiten [English translation]

Up above on the towers where the doves are

You can feel of the storms more than just the wind

The whole house is gently swaying and you feel oppressed

Sometimes the world is still quite strange to us

[Refrain:]

Times are not there for sleeping

Distances are dangerously close

Watch out, watch out, watch out

Many a person clings to the soil

And cools his rump

Fears every sword stroke

Absolutely nothing bothers him

Yes, he would like the world in a candy wrapper

If an adventure comes knocking, he closes his door

[Refrain:]

Times are not there for sleeping

Distances are dangerously close

Watch out, watch out, watch out

Up above on the towers where the doves are

You can feel storms more than just the wind

The whole house is gently tottering and you feel oppressed

Sometimes the world is still quite strange to us

[Refrain:]

Times are not there for sleeping

Distances are dangerously close

Watch out, watch out, watch out
