Unreal Mystery (Die Verbannten Kinder Evas)

You thought you'd be strong Far from this place where you've been When you were in safety so long So sorry you feel That all your strength then was gone And all hopeful feelings were lost This kingdom of yours Means nothing more than a Small tiny point in this universe Your feelings and thoughts Mean nothing more than a Wasted and senseless phantom of time And the billows of clouds That roll around you shall sleep In the light of wondrous days Where hell and heaven shall leave You free to the universe of destiny This world's the nurse of all Of all we know and the coming Of death's a fearful blow When all we know or feel Shall pass like a so unreal mystery Who painted all those shadows Those shadows that are beneath the winding caves The wide winding caves of peopled tombs Or united the hopes of what shall be With all the fear and the love for that which we see
