lyrics

SPIDER

While i’m looking outside my window i can see a spider in its net.
And suddenly there is an insect flying in its trap
Than the spider comes and administers the poison Then the insect is dead, dead, dead.
But one day there is a bird flying by and eating the carnivore

The question that arises is: What what you can keep what what you can keep
And what are the treasures that will last when the bird is flying by

Cause the insect is dead.
Eaten by the carnivore.
The spider is dead.
Eaten by the bird.

While lifetime is running through my fingers I recognized I can’t keep what I want to
I think what you can keep is what you give, what you give to someone else who charms it for you.
For where my treasure is there will my heart be and what about beyond?
What is my inheritance for this world and the insects following.

It’s all about inheritance not about the net, not about your purse
So increase the things that you can get and share and share alike.

There have been these two guys and i will bear the remembrance
Over the last years they put their treasures in thons of men.
They lived a straight life, they stayed with there wifes, they where not broken by them.
They fought for justice, strong and restless but now they are gone.

I inherited an overflowing treasure chest
No one can cabbage it but I wanna increase it.

Cause the insect is dead.
Eaten by the carnivore.
What if the spider is alive.
What is it’s heir?
