lyrics

ALTE EISERNE BRÜCKEN
(original German lyrics)

Ich sah die alten, eisernen Brücken,
vom Zahn der Zeit allmählich zerfressen, stehen
und fallen; zwischen Welten klaffen nun Lücken,
von Schrott gesäumt. Selbst die Fundamente vergehen.

[Chorus]
Doch was ist dann der göttliche Stoff,
ja was ist die altehrwürdige Essenz,
die allem trotzt in ihrer Omnipotenz?

Ich sah die edlen stählernen Brücken
erhaben, aber dennoch nicht ewig stehen.
Und wieder klaffen zwischen Welten die Lücken,
in denen rostige Winde unheilvoll wehen.

Was denn nun das Material,
das unverwüstlich-zeitlose Element,
das weder Dasein noch Vernichtung kennt?

[Chorus]

---

OLD IRON BRIDGES
(translation of “Alte Eiserne Brücken“)

I saw the old iron bridges,
gradually corroded by the ravages of time, standing
and falling; gaps are yawning between worlds now,
being lined with scrap. Even the fundaments vanish.

[Chorus]
But what is then the divine matter,
after all, what is the grandeval essence
that defies everything with omnipotence?

I saw the high-grade bridges of steel
standing exalted but yet not forever.
And again the gaps are yawning between worlds,
where rusty winds blow disastrously.

Now what is the material,
the indestructible timeless element
that does not know either existence or destruction?

[Chorus]
