Time-zeit Lyrics

Coppelius Time-zeit

By a wiser man he was told
"Time is your enemy as you get old"
Now faced with his mortality
He thought "I´ll live my life intensely"

I´ll be no man of lesser will
Top every mountain, cross every hill
I´ll live ten days to your one
And will not rest ´til all prices won

Refrain:
Zeit verfliegt, Zeit verrinnt
Vergiss niemals, Du wirst alt mein Kind!

To seize all time is my secret
I´ll possess what you´ll never get

I will do everything, nothing´s too much
Every good looking thing I will touch
All world wonders I will see
Only sleep five hours ... that´s the key
