he had his struggles his life has been hard dealt a bad hand always short of a card always the wrong side of a coin that was spun money on horses that could never have won never had luck with affairs of the heart he kept looking but didn't know where to start money making deals he lost more than he´d win an unlucky gambler when he went all in he tried his best but he´s all full of doubt wants to throw in his hand wants to cash out he finds dutch courage he´s taken to drink his mind won't change there´s no time to think What could he do with nowhere to run fed up with life he took out his gun finger on trigger and gun to his head a moment of madness then he was dead on his limp body a note that was found saying where he wanted putting to ground in the churchyard where his sweetheart lay has he´d never recovered since she went away.

Opfer der Zeit

By Roland Köhler


Es handelt sich hierbei um eine Art deutsche Version der Songs "Victims" und "Time" von Culture Club. Dieser Text entstand auf der Rückfahrt von Schladming im Oktober 2012, wo mir in einem kleinen Tal der Tod begegnet war. Oben war es schön warm, in diesem Tal schlagartig eiskalt und frostig und ich war überzeugt den Tod zu spüren. Dort kam mir die Melodie zu "Victims" in den Sinn und schrie verlangend nach einem deutschen Text. In der darauffolgenden Nacht kam eine Freundin von mir nach einem Herzanfall ins Krankenhaus. Sie hat es überlebt, ich habe ihr diesen Song gewidmet.
