In Zeiten wie diesen English translation
von Silbermond

Why are we here
Are we here to be selfish
Until the envy escalates
No, that's not what we're here for

I wonder is it true
Are we here to shoot each other
To smear us with blood
No, that's not what we're here for

In times like these, it's time to start over
Because there is no emergency exit from times like these
We've already proven that we have the power to bring down walls
Let's decide
In times like this

Why are we here
Are we here to be Nazi?
In order not to learn from mistakes
No, that's not what we're here for


It's not clear to me
Are we here to destroy
You me and the rest of the world
No, that's not what we're here for

In times like these, it's time to start over
Because there is no emergency exit from times like these
We've already proven that we have the power to bring down walls
Let's decide
In times like this

Are we here to trade our souls for money and play god
We shoot ourselves for black gold
Are kamikaze flyers
Are we here for that?

No, that's not what we're here for
No, that's not what we're here for
No, that's not what we're here for
We are here to be human

Because in times like these, it's time to start over
Because there is no emergency exit from times like these
In times like these we hold on to ourselves
In times like these, hope dies last
That times like these will eventually come to an end


In times like these there is no emergency exit
In times like these everything starts with me
