Predator

Your eyes and your look
Your words, your face
You stood in front of me
You were so shy
And so beautiful
 
Like a wild animal, I can
hunt you until dawn
But I would die
If I had to see you suffer
You're my prey
And you could never escape me
But your heard would cry
And your breath...
 
Skin you and tear you to pieces
I want to get all of you
One moment in heaven
For a lifetime in pain?
 
But I know
Your heart is taken
Already gifted
But the world
Doesn't bear thinking about
Without you
 
Same light and same word
At the same time in the same place
Overjoyed and excited
You saw me
But you don't know me
You don't know what I feel
What I feel for you
 
Never dare I say
That you
When I see you then
The world suddenly stops
Now you are..
If he touches your skin
Let her go, set her free
 
But I know
Your heart is taken
Already gifted
But the world
Doesn't bear thinking about
Without you
 
But I know
Your heart is taken
Already gifted
But the world is only tangible
Tangible with you
 

Testimony

I'm not giving up my existence
Like a dying man in the flesh
The sorrow doesn't remain behind
 
A victim to whom loss now sticks
 
I am the witness to my mortality
The witness to my own death
Here I am and I just watch myself
Death spreads over me
 
I am a witness to my death1
I am a witness to my death
I am a witness to my death
I am a witness to my death
 
As a true witness to my own death
I experience dying, here in my own body
Oh, as a true witness to my own death
Oh, I experience dying here and now in myself, ah, ah, ah
 
My street doesn't end there at the gate
To step through it is forbidden to the body
But my body will finally set me free, me free, me free
Trapped here inside myself
Where death can't get me
 
No peace, no going back
No comfort and no sorrow
No peace, no going back
No comfort and no sorrow
 
I am a witness to my death
I am a witness to my death
I am a witness to my death
I am a witness to my death
 
I am a witness to my death
I am a witness to my death
I am a witness to my death
I am a witness to my death
 
As a true witness to my own death
I experience dying, here in my own body
As a true witness to my own death
Oh, I experience dying, here in my own body
 
I am a witness to my death
I am a witness to my death
I am a witness to my death
I am a witness to my death
 

• 1. From the German text, I'm assuming this is what is meant here, in which case it should be 'Testis sum meo morti'. For 'It is witness to my death': 'Testis est meo morti'. Any suggestions welcome.

Change of spirit

A change of spirit, the conversion of victors1
A change of [?], the conversion of animals2
 
Dissected by psych tests
Just like a book
That it was forbidden to read
Some pages stolen
The envelope sealed
Name changed
Air to breathe taken away
Hidden away in a box
Stuck to other life
Tied up as one
Boxed in as one
Wrapped in [my/our etc.] own fear
Forgetting to defend [my-/our]selves
As a human, far too naked
As a sacrifice, not yet naked enough
 

• 1. Assuming this is what he means by the Latin, the original should read 'victorum'. 'Victores' is the nominative, accusative, and vocative plural.
• 2. Again, no idea what he's trying to say. 'Constrates' is presumably meant as a form of 'constratus', but considering that means 'thatched', the sentence makes little sense to me. 'A conversion of animals': 'Conversio animalium'. Alternatives could be 'Conversio animalis' ('An living conversion') or 'Conversio beluina' ('A bestial conversion'). Any suggestions for the Latin in this song are very welcome!

Weltenbrand

When everything here is in a sorry state
and life surrenders here
Destruction, as far as the eye can see
 
No end, it digs deep
We seize into the floor
and touch blue hope
and that again and again
Every life gets lost
Only the rejection stays here
It sticks with me
 
I feel my life
It still hurts
Desperation, here in me
People kill people
Totally legally and they call it war
Everything goes to pieces
You have already destroyed so much
and you do it again and again
This suffering will never end
as long as humans reign here
Greed, it reigns
 
We want to live in spite of live
I feel paralysed
Scared and destroyed
Robbed of life
The world will burn
The sun doesn't shine any more
 

Don't let the night fall over me

In the spring of my life
I gave you my hand
Your answer was your first kiss
 
And in summer we were in an ocean of love
The days seemed endless, so endlessly beautiful
 
Don't let the night fall over me
Don't close your eyes in front of me
Don't leave me in the cold
Don't turn away from me
 
Yesterday, the first wet snow fell
Now I stand in front of you
The day goes to its end
The year goes into the night
My life, I give you my trembling hand
 
Trembling hand, trembling hand, trembling hand, trembling hand
Trembling hand, trembling hand, trembling hand, trembling hand
 
Don't let the night fall over me
Don't close your eyes in front of me
Don't leave me in the cold
Don't turn away from me
 
Don't let the night fall over me
Don't close your eyes in front of me
Don't leave me in the cold
Don't turn away from me
 
Don't let the night fall over me
Don't close your eyes in front of me
Don't leave me in the cold
Don't turn away from me
 
Don't let the night fall over me
Don't close your eyes in front of me
Don't leave me in the cold
Don't turn away from me
 

Heart and mind

Will you ever be
What you have always been deep inside of you?
Or is that illusion?
 
Because you believe to be
What everybody wants you to be
 
Do you find yourself?
The real you, not the illusion
Don't define yourself as an end in itself
You and me and your emotions
And whatever touches you
Is, what you really are
Listen to yourself
 
Thoughts are oceans, sometimes stormy, sometimes even
An ocean full of life, a bog turbid and dull
Thoughts are fields that flourish fruitfully
Thoughts are deserts, the wind forms them blindly
 
Every soul is marked
By the things that once were and the things that are now
The same me in another time
In another world
Would you be what you are now?
 
Do you find yourself?
The real you, not the illusion
Don't define yourself as an end in itself
You and me and your emotions
And whatever touches you
Is, what you really are
Listen to yourself
 
Thoughts are oceans, sometimes stormy, sometimes even
An ocean full of life, a bog turbid and dull
Thoughts are fields that flourish fruitfully
Thoughts are deserts, the wind forms them blindly
 
We are alive and being alive means more than just to be
To defy boredom with heart and mind
 
Thoughts are oceans, sometimes stormy, sometimes even
An ocean full of life, a bog turbid and dull
Thoughts are fields that flourish fruitfully
 
Thoughts are oceans, sometimes stormy, sometimes even
An ocean full of life, a bog turbid and dull
Thoughts are fields that flourish fruitfully
Thoughts are deserts, the wind forms them blindly
 

The quiet death

See me, feel me
 
I would like to take the bleeding skin
 
Put up with the aching physis
If that takes the inner pain
The invisibile suffering away from me
 
It wasn't purpose
It was the beginning of the end
The loss of mental freedom
The moment when I saw her
 
The moment, the beginning of the end
The moment when it happened
The moment, my skin was trembling
The moment when I saw her
Time and space merged in her
At that moment, at that same place
Here she was so close to the touch
Here she was a hand's breadth away
But as close as her body was to me
As far she was, she was away from me
In her own world
In another universe
She, who devoured my heart, she
 
My thoughts, my blood
My heart, my everything, everything screamed
See me, feel me, recognize me now
Here I am and give myself to you
 
See me, feel me, recognize me now
See me, feel me, recognize me now
Here I am and give myself to you
 
And then, she looked up
Our eyes crossed
And hers continued roaming
 
The quiet death has found me
Endlessly far away from her
A hand's breadth away from her
A hand's breadth from her skin
A hand's breadth from her
 
See me, see me
Feel me, feel me
 

Tonight

Hey, tonight you were back in my world
Hey, tonight I could count on you again
How many times have I cursed you
I was always looking for it
 
I still don't really know, what you really are
But it feels so good
You have so many names, but no face
So she fell under your spell
 
It's all I wanted to say
But nothing, nothing brings you out of my head
I am yours, I am totally yours !
I know you don't care about what I think of you
 
I still don't really know, what you really are
But it feels so good
You have so many names, but no face
So she fell under your spell
 
Aren't you ? (Just stop it)
Don't you want? (Just stop it)
Can't you just finally leave ?
You need me more than I want
Aren't you ? (Just stop it)
Don't you want? (Just stop it)
Can't you just finally leave ?
You need me more than I want
 

After the Storm

When you yearn for my heart
Which can feel you
When you need stability
Cause your hand so small
When you fall
Hence all you want is falling
Let yourself fall
Let yourself fall into my arms
I don't know the future
But we know the past
That's enough
When you close your eyes
And you can't open them anymore
When you run and can't stop to run
When the shadows catch you (catch you, catch you)
When you dream
Her - or Him - And not here - but be there
Come to me
Come in my arms
Here is your home
Hold tight - Hold tight - Hold tight - Hold tight
 

When our Heroes die

My tears
I can hardly stop
You were the voice at the time
The voice of the feeling
When our heroes die
A part of us also dies
Now the circle of life turns
And nothing will stay the same
 
When our heroes die
Our love keeps them alive
We want to celebrate our heroes
And mourn them while dancing
 
These places
Will never be occupied again
But these places
will never be empty
Ziggy freedom and a hallelujah
You have given, we took
Black ashes blanket the land of heroes
Purple rain falls from heaven
 
When our heroes die
It will be unbearably quiet
Their hymns will remain our favorite songs
Our heroes live on
 
We remain your life's work*
We remain your light
We remain your insanity
Your love, your dedication as a mirror image
 
When our heroes die,
We keep them alive inside of us!
 

Between All Chairs

Between you, the and and me
Between the gesture and the feeling
Between the plan and the goal
Thought and courage,
Temptation in blood
Between all these doors,
These many offers
Between what has endured
And the new unknown
Between heart and reason,
The everlasting disagreement
Between yesterday, today and tomorrow
Between happiness, pain and worry
 
There is still so much left to discover!
Arising between us, in me and you!
Between all chairs
 
Between here, the moment and you
Between space and our time,
Between space and our time
Between birth and death,
In between them the flow opens up
Between all these doors,
These many offer
Between what has endured
And the new unknown
Between heart and reason,
The everlasting disagreement
Between yesterday, today and tomorrow
Between happiness, pain and worry
 
Between all chairs
