14:00 ...UND BEI DIR? | ...WHAT'S UP?

Alles gut? Alles gut, und bei dir? Alles gut! Und bei dir? Alles gut.

We all need life, but then there comes a knife.
We need a life, but then we get a death.
It stalks us with its old insidious breath.
No one can see it,  no one sees its face.
Its savage grimace has no shape, no grace.
How long do we think home and hearth will last?
How long will the sealed document be passed?
How long do brothers share their inheritance?
How long will rivers rise and swell to the dance
of dragonflies with their eyes turned to the sun?
But no one really sees the sun, not one.
