R¨¹diger stands in the rain and the snow
Collector of autographs
Names upon photographs
Faces of people who everyone knows
R¨¹diger lives in a place on his own
Briefcase and spectacles
Strange and respectable
He knows the meaning of being alone
R¨¹diger works as a clerk in the town
Music or politics
R¨¹diger gets his kicks
He gets information then he comes around
R¨¹diger waits at the hall in Berlin
He waits there all night
Security's tight
They know who he is but they don't let him in
R¨¹diger waits in the dark by the stair
His fingers are shaking
His feet they are aching
But your name's in the paper so R¨¹diger's there
Hide all the children
The wise and the vision
Morning division
They won't be forgiven
Run out the sorrow
There's always tomorrow
We'll never leave them
Not 'till the hollow
Stepping over all the people's bodies left behind
We'll escape this together if we
Lay like the victims
To mask all the reasons
Don't make a sound sister
Tis not the season
Shut out all the horror scenes
We'll make our break tonight
We'll escape this together if we're
Here when the fire dies
We'll make the way and show them all
Fear is the mindkiller
We can't afford so we don't fall
Don't think of these awful places good has left mankind
No mistakes and we both will stay alive
Tell the story
Horrid and gory
No-one will listen
Until the bell rings
Ask why all the strange behavior
We can only cry
It's a message we tried to convey
So here when the fire dies
We'll make our break and show them all
We came from these horrid places
Tell you what we found
We'll escape this together if we're here when the fire dies
We'll make our way and we'll show them all
Fear is the one thing left they can't afford
Now they've screwed themselves
These are all the awful places good has left mankind
No mistakes and it's me and you alive
Alone
Again
Alone
