The Longest Dive

once you learned

How to rule the stream

Lifting you up in the sky

Against the wind

Before the wind

Against the wind

You were able to discern storm clouds

From those which only soothe your eyes from (the) Sun

You could perceive drizzle turn into white squall

And ice crystals freeze on your wings of steel

But this was not enough!

You were born to fly!

You flew so high

In the sky

Far above

To the point of view of God

Distance hides

The most you see

Deceiving you

About our misery

Ground gets closer as your blood flows louderÖ

Do not be scared, my friend

You will live forever

Even if you have fallen

Like a wingless angel

Ignoring all the sins we keep inside

Near the ground, near death, homeward-bound

And if your time has come

Don't toss us aside!

You were born to fly!

Shattered dreams

Everywhere

Slivers lie

(As) smoke rises up high

Flown away

Before your time

Perhaps this is

The proper way to fly

Wreckage and flames, the scene before my eyes

In front of melting steels I wonder...

Why?
