The World
The World falls around us
And shrapnel
Shrapnel rips through the air
And we stand
Cause there is no hiding
But love
Love will shelter us there
And we kiss
As if nothing has happened
And the bombs
Fall far to the side
And the bullets
Dont seem so frightening
And nothings so striking
As the slowing of time
And the Night
The Night falls around us
Breaking away
To the dawns coming light
As the smoke
The smoke settles around us
Still we stand
To the defeat of both sides
Dann sind wir helden
Nur diesen tag
And we are then Heroes
For only this day

Credit for the last two lines goes to Apocalyptica and Till Lindemann (Rammstein) from the German version of David Bowie's "Heroes". The last line is the literal translation of the line preceeding.
