Wir sitzen im Dunkeln
Language: German (Deutsch)
Wir sitzen im Dunkeln...
Der Vorhang rauscht leise...
Sternblumenkreise durchs Fenster funkeln.
Wir träumen und trinken die ewige Ruh...
Unsere Wesen sinken schweigend sich zu.

We sit in darkness
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
We sit in darkness...
The curtain rustles gently...
The flower-like circles of the stars glint through the window.
We dream and drink eternal peace...
Our beings ease silently into one another.
