Sorsum, a district of the city of Hildesheim, is a small village in northern Germany.
Over 800 years ago in the year 1125 Sutterem, later Sorsum, was first mentioned in literature. A memorial in the middle of the village was raised in 2000 to remind on the first mention. In the Middle Ages, a domain was founded in Sorsum to support the Monastery Magdalenenkloster in Hildesheim. Its buildings can still be seen. Sorsum had a water mill which was mentioned in a document in 1215. The mill was built in the south of the village where the restaurant Sorsumer Mühle (Sorsum's Mill), built in 1811, is today. In some other documents, Sorsum was mentioned as Sosserumb in 1496 and as Sorsumb around 1700. In 1785, Sorsum had 335 inhabitants. The present church, Saint Kunibert, was built in 1887/88 in a neoromanic style. The tower was completed in 1908. According to the census of 1895, Sorsum had 731 inhabitants. After the Second World War, the number of inhabitants increased, as many refugees from East Germany settled down in Sorsum. In 1974, Sorsum was incorporated into the city of Hildesheim with about 2,300 inhabitants. On 31 December 2005, the number of inhabitants amounted to 2,844. Today, approximately 3,000 people live in Sorsum.
they're starting to open up the sky
they're starting to reach down through
and it feels like we're living in that split-second
of a car crash
and time is slowing down
and if we only had a little more time
then this time
is all we have
do you remember the time we
and all the times we
and should have
and were going to
i know
and i know you remember
how we could justify it all
and we knew better
in our hearts we knew better
and we told ourselves it didn't matter
and we chose to continue
and none of that matters anymore
in the hour of our twilight
and soon it will be all said and done
and we will all be back together as one
if we will continue at all
shame on us
doomed from the start
may god have mercy
on our dirty little hearts
shame on us
for all we have done
and all we ever were
just zeros and ones
and you never get away
and you never get to take the easy way
and all of this is a consequence
brought on by our own hand
if you believe in that sort of thing
and did you ever really find
when you closed your eyes
any place that was still
and at peace
and i guess i just wanted to tell you
as the lights start to fade
that you are the reason
that i am not afraid
and i guess i just wanted to mention
as the heavens will fall
we will be together soon if we
will be anything at all
shame on us
doomed from the start
may god have mercy
on our dirty little hearts
shame on us
for all we have done
and all we ever were
just zeros and ones
shame on us (shame on us)
we knew from the start
may god have mercy
on our dirty little hearts
shame on us (shame on us)
for all we have done
and all we ever were
