[Verse 1 - Spoken Word] "True hope is swift, and flies with swallow's wings." Yet one swallow doesn't make a summer ... and riches have wings. Fortune and glass soon break, alas! [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse 2] Crystalline wings. Frozen in flight. Sunlight on ice. Beautiful lie. [Chorus, German and English] Glück und Glas. Shards in the grass. Hold it too tight... It will not last. Glück und Glas. [Verse 3] Morning mist fades. River flows deep. Golden mirage. Too fragile to keep. [Chorus, German and English] Glück und Glas. Shards in the grass. Hold it too tight... It will not last. Glück und Glas. [Bridge] Wings made of light. Ready to shatter. Chasing a ghost. Does it even matter? [Outro] One sharp breath. The summer dies. Glass birds fall. Close your eyes. "True hope is swift, and flies with swallow's wings." (still does)
