lyrics

here's a thing that's pretty cool
I should tell people more often

me and my siblings are the tenth generation
living on the farm

Mårtensson property
since seventeenth century

usually when there are several generations living in one place
it's rich people or royal families
but my ancestors were
farmers and peasants
they were never rich
but they were as rich as they needed to be

although,
there is a story about a grandfather's grandfather of mine
who sold a cow for too little money and hung himself
in the trees next to the barn

I used to play hide and seek there with my sister
until someone told us the story

it's fascinating to think about all
that has happened and died in that house
once my father said ”did you know,
my grandmother died in the very spot, you're sitting at now”

they are everywhere, they are everywhere
they are everywhere, the ghosts are everywhere

when I came to Berlin
I thought a lot about how many people died here
probably at least one in every square meter

cause there were wars and heart diseases
cancer, child birth, suicide
and on the ground are golden plates
with names of people who were sent to Auschwitz

they are everywhere, they are everywhere
they are everywhere, they are everywhere
they are everywhere, they are everywhere
they are everywhere

they were not my ancestors
but they were here

they were here
they were there
they were everywhere

I am here
I am there
I am everywhere

and when I'm lying under ground
I'll be everywhere
