Time-Zeit

By a wiser man he was told
«Time is your enemy as you get old»
Now faced with his mortality
He thought «I´ll live my life intensely»
I´ll be no man of lesser will
Top every mountain, cross every hill
I´ll live ten days to your one
And will not rest ´til all prices won
Zeit verfliegt, Zeit verrinnt
Vergiss niemals, Du wirst alt mein Kind!
To seize all time is my secret
I´ll possess what you´ll never get
I will do everything, nothing´s too much
Every good looking thing I will touch
All world wonders I will see
Only sleep five hours … that´s the key
Zeit verfliegt, Zeit verrinnt
Vergiss niemals, Du wirst alt mein Kind!
He worked like hell everyday
Said «When I die I´ll sleep anway»
Died in his prime, acted in haste
The beauty of life he didn´t taste
Zeit verfliegt, Zeit verrinnt
Vergiss niemals, Du wirst alt mein Kind!
