Can we ever hope to escape the uncertainty Which longing avows only grief to endure, ever growing While clocks move on relentlessly at a petty pace? We deprived ourselves but forfeited our chances Squandered it all to take a gamble with our pride Now we see the ghostly flames dancing into the sky Cleansing us of erroneous convictions of significance Our miserable release lies in this: Going out in a blaze of glory CREDITS: Mixed and mastered by Sebastian Sendon Music Video directed and edited by Mirko Witzki Shot at Titanickhalle / Sputnikhalle Münster Supported by Initiative Musik gGmbH with project funds from the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and Media.
