Ghostly is all in this world that is furious
There's just a flash, and you hold on to it!
Only one flash between the past and the following
It is what we for so long have called "life".

Eternal peace is not likely to please your heart
Eternal peace is for gray pyramids
But for a star that let go and is falling
There's just a flash, just a dazzling flash.

You make this flash fly far though the centuries
Not all the time our pathways shall meet
What do I treasure and what do I risk in life?
One single flash, only one single flash…

What will you meet - maybe sadness or happiness?
But there's just a flash and you hold on to it!
Only a flash between past and the following
It is what we for so long have called "life"...
