The madness of grandeur has passed
The desire to play the great lords
The intoxication, the ardor have passed
When the fruits have no more flavor

Returned from seven years of misfortune
From a painful childbirth
Tired of lying, of playing a role
When you're no longer up to par

The load-bearing walls still remain
Those rock-solid friends
A brother, a little sister
Who can see the horizon
The load-bearing walls still remain
To hold up the house
To overcome our fears
Or defeat our demons

Promises made with the hand on the heart
Are stronger than when you're the very best
Lost in the crosshairs
Whether you're a soldier or a deserter

Candies etched onto your heart
Thousands of flight hours on the meter
Beautiful speeches, smooth talkers
Whether you're in the blur or in the wrong

The load-bearing walls still remain
Those rock-solid friends
A brother or a big sister
Who can see the horizon
The load-bearing walls still remain
To hold up the house
To overcome our fears
Or defeat our demons

Playing the tough guys, the stuntmen
Remain as vivid memories
To the utopia of a better world
To all that we've learned by heart

The load-bearing walls still remain
To cut ourselves off from the wind
To last the distance
To face the tremors
The load-bearing walls still remain
To shelter us from the cold
To ward off misfortune
And to find our way again
