Das Buch English translation
von Puhdys

Imagine somewhere there's a planet
Where intelligent beings live
They might look just like us
And on this planet, there are libraries full of books

Written by poets, philosophers, and scientists
And perhaps, when on Earth hate and greed become so great
That nothing, absolutely nothing can save them anymore
Then maybe there's also a book there called "The Downfall of Earth"

It will report about us, our life, our death
And about a fire so vast that no tears could extinguish it
Until the final second when the Earth ceased to exist

And from ten billion eyes, a rain of mourning fell
And a sea of tears overflowed
And shattered the last dam of hope

And from ten billion eyes, a rain of mourning fell
And a sea of tears overflowed
And shattered the last dam of hope


A floating grave in space where no flower grows
The continents melted, the seas burned
A black stone, and what bitter irony
Not a single weapon will threaten the dead planet anymore

And from ten billion eyes, a rain of mourning fell
And a sea of tears overflowed
And shattered the last dam of hope

And from ten billion eyes, a rain of mourning fell
And a sea of tears overflowed
And shattered the last dam of hope

And whoever wants the Earth never to cry again
Whoever unites with us against death by radiation
Ensures that this book never appears

Because the ten billion eyes want to see the Earth live
It should be a home without fears
For love and security

Because the ten billion eyes want to see the Earth live
It should be a home without fears
For love and security
