In the event of black and white

Lightning strikes the ground

Here comes another crushing wave

To drown all those around

From the picturesque blue sky

Tear drops choke the air

All the serenity is gone

This storm’s too much to bear

How are we to live with this fear?

When every moment the wind pushes you down

How are we to survive this night?

When a whirlwind wears the crown

Taking you up but spitting you out

Then electric burns a tree

Not one fruit survives

Damn this destruction we see

How are we to live with this fear?

When every moment the wind pushes you down

How are we to survive this night?

When a whirlwind wears the crown

We suddenly hear voices

And are blinded by the sky

Then a rush of gentle breeze

The calm touches on the rye

Now everything seems so clear

Without the currents in the air

Light is passing through

The darkness is worth to bear

How are we to live with this fear?

At every moment we get back up

How are we to survive this night?

With tomorrow we can never stop.
