Lyrics of Element 1: Zeitgeist - Diary of Dreams

Element 1: Zeitgeist (original)

Ich wurde mit einem Namen geboren, an den ich ich mich heute nicht einmal mehr
erinnern kann
Ich bin ein Reisender ohne Ziel;
ein Krieger ohne Krieg.
Ich bin kein Märtyrer
Kein Opfer, ich will kein Mitleid, ich brauche kein Alibi, nicht heute und auch
nicht
Wenn die ganze Welt vor die Hunde geht
Ich nenne mich X. Ich bin mir nicht sicher, wer ich bin oder wer ich war,
aber ich lebe — und ich
Werde kämpfen.
Ich will der sein, der ich nie sein durfte.
Niemand kann und
wird das ändern
Niemand wird es wagen, mich zu richten, denn ich werde Richter und Zeuge sein
Ich werde Volk und Geschworener sein.
Ich werde Vollstrecker und Trauernder sein
Ich werde nicht aufgeben.
Mich plagt keine Schuld.
Glaubt ihr wirklich,
ich strebe nach Vergebung?
Wohl kaum.
Reue ist auch nur der Trost der Einfältigen.
Ich aber will leben
Ich will Leben spüren und jedes Wagnis eingehen, um mich noch lebendiger zu
fühlen
Ich will meine Welt mit neuen Augen sehen.
Ich will atmen und diese Kraft
In meinen Adern pulsieren fühlen
Ich will leben
---English translation---
I was born with a name that I don’t even remember anymore.
I am a traveler with
no destination
A warrior without a war.
I am not a martyr, not a victim, I don’t want any
compassion
I don’t need an alibi, not today and not when the whole world goes down
I call myself X. I am not sure who I am or who I was, but I live — and I will
fight.
I will be the one
I was never allowed to be.
No one can or will change that.
No one will dare to
judge me because
I will be judge and witness.
I will be the people and the jury.
I will be
executor and mourner
I will not give up. I am not troubled by guilt.
Do you rally think I am looking
for forgiveness?
Not quite.
Regret is nothing but the comfort of the simple-minded.
But I, I want to live
I want to feel life and I want to take all hazards just to feel more alive.
I want to breathe
And I want to feel this power pulsing through my veins
I want to live

(translation)

I was born with a name that I don't even remember today
can remember
I am a traveler without a destination;
a warrior without a war.
I am not a martyr
No sacrifice, I don't want pity, I don't need an alibi, not today and not either
not
When the whole world goes to the dogs
I call myself X. I'm not sure who I am or who I was
but I live — and I
gonna fight
I want to be who I was never allowed to be.
Nobody can and
will change that
Nobody will dare to judge me, for I will be judge and witness
I will be the people and the jury.
I will be enforcer and mourner
I will not give up.
I have no guilt.
Do you really believe
am I seeking forgiveness?
Hardly likely.
Repentance is only the consolation of the simple.
But I want to live
I want to feel life and take every risk to make myself even more alive
feel
I want to see my world with new eyes.
I want to breathe and this power
Feeling pulsing in my veins
I want to live
