Wake Up!

Steh' auf! Geh' zurück zur Stunde Deiner Geburt!
Folge dem Fluss Deines Lebens dem Wasserfall hinauf
Bis zu seiner singenden, springenden Quelle.
Und blicke von dort oben hinab auf das, was vor Dir liegt.

Und nach umpfundumpfzig Jahren steht wieder ein Vollmond am Himmel.





Is everybody in? Is everybody in? Is everybody in?
The ceremony is about to begin. …
The program for this evening is not new,
You've seen this entertainment through and through.
You've seen your birth, your life and death,
You might recall all of the rest.
Did you have a good world when you died?
Enough to base a movie on?

Jim Morrison– An American Prayer

But I am not dead, not yet.
And I don't wanna die before I get old.
I just wanna go home.
