Pictures of the past

Memories which never last

Within a moment's time

The blinking of an eye

To oblivion they turn and there remain



[Chorus 1]

When there is nothing I can remember now today

All my faults and mistakes will be forgiven

Then for me grows a second to day

The lifetime of hours



Faster flies a day

In seconds years are gone away

To minds which can't divide

As Lethe's flowing stream

Future from yester days



[Chorus 2]

When there is nothing I can remember now today

All my faults and mistakes will be forgiven

Then there rises a second today

But the lifetime of ours is fading away



The presence of the Now

Nothing to obey and bow

To time noone attends

The turning of the clock

A circle of no meaning ends



[Chorus 2]
