"Intro" translation
Instrumental


"Feuer" / "Fire" translation
You want love, you want warmth
You want freedom, you want beauty

You wade through everyday life - every night you dirty your existence
unholy alliances crawl through your marrow and bone
Every fiber of your feeling trembles before the beast that is yourself
Your soul screams for innocence, it is what you burn for

You seek love, you seek warmth
You seek freedom, you seek beauty

You wade through everyday life - every night you dirty your existence
unholy alliances crawl through your marrow and bone
Every fiber of your feeling trembles before the beast that is yourself
Your soul screams for innocence, it is what you burn for
The flames of a fire that is pleased to eat flesh
Yet your search for cleansing is in vain

You wade through everyday life - every night you dirty your existence
unholy alliances crawl through your marrow and bone
Every fiber of your feeling trembles before the beast that is yourself
Your soul screams for innocence, it is what you burn for
The flames of a fire that is pleased to eat flesh
Yet your search for cleansing is in vain
Only ashes and black, charred flesh remain
Powerless groans, and some who crawl for mercy

Fire burns!

Refrain:

Fire - Feel how it burns, how the fire in you burns
Fire - Longing for the beginning that knows no end


"Nacht Ohne Mond" / "Night Without Moon" translation
The shadows - The dusk - the darkness is near
Then I can wander beneath people - wonderful
Can it feel, can it see, can I be pleased with your existence
Can I dream - can I be one of you

One of you somewhere in the sea of houses
completely without hunger, yet that is eternally here
Sister of death - Queen of the night
Don't look at me like that - what have you made of me

I can see - I wish I were blind
I can hear - I wish I were deaf
I can scream - I wish I were mute
I can love - I wish I were cold

The wolf, to be sure, still sees under the lambs - Thousand suns dawn
So tired, exhausted, and endlessly worked to death
Hears the dogs clammer, wanting to warm the bones
The doubt gnaws at him - he wants to hunt no more

Don't ask why!

Refrain:

Night without moon - I want to sleep
Death without reason - finally sleep
Sleep without dream - I want to sleep
Don't ask why - endless sleep

I can see - I wish I were blind
I can hear - I wish I were deaf
I can scream - I wish I were mute
I can love - I wish I were cold


"Schmerz" / "Pain" translation
Deep inside me cowers a naked, little child
with no more hope for the future
through the tears of his fear looks toward heaven
after the help of a god - yet the answer is only pain

Deep inside me hopes a naked little child
that the dreams and wishes weren't all in vain
on the ground, a boiler, full of molten ore
he looks for his lost charm - yet the answer is only pain

Deep inside him screams a sick old man
past his best years which he cannot remember
he waits for redemption for his old, weak heart
in the hour of his death - yet the answer is only pain

It sees - it feels - it screams - for pain
Father forgive me - Father forgive me
Bring me out of here, don't leave me here alone

Refrain:

Father forgive me - From blood you make wine
Father forgive me - The world is too small
Father forgive me - From flesh you make bread
Father forgive me - I wish I were dead


"Ins Licht" / "In The Licht" translation
I am alone, completely alone in isolation
No feeling - No contact - No concentration
I have no dream - No fear - which that makes already
I have no heart - I feel no pain - All an illusion

What you want, what you can, whose "hands around" you dance
How much room - how much room in your transplanted brain
A face behind a mirror, the facade is sealed
Only a castle - much too wide and the ways completely snowed over

Endlessly alone, unendlessly free
Endless - on the other side of the border of time
Endless - existence

Refrain:

I fly in the light
I fly therefrom and you don't get me


"Gott" / "God" translation
You know I didn't want this,
and the ground given without blood
the voices inside my head
they are back in my head

Traitor at the Kings throat
blood, all the same, deep in my soul
High priest, my favor
romping about in my mist

What were you thinking,
I know exactly, you laughed
The Lord speaks, it becomes light!
Welcome to my court

Why are you looking at me like that,
I know exactly, you're looking at me
you whisper secretly over me,
believe you then, I dont notice it

...and the voices tell me:
the universe listens to you now,
you shall from now on be the king
you control it, you alone
you alone

Holy Mother of God - Holy Mother of God

Refrain:

I am your God - I am your God
I am your God - I am the Lord
Fall on your knees - crawl to me here


"Blut" / "Blood" translation
Darkness and lonliness - Secure in Vaults
Trapped behind kilometer-wide walls - cower my thoughts
Isolation and darkness - no home, no home, no home
A lock in ice, and the key is well hidden - no home, no home, no home
Never speak - never break the silence - of the soul, only a breath
No home, no home, no home

Circulation - in thought-fast circles - of the soul, only a breath
Reanimation - never again derailed - of the soul, only a breath
Regulation - vital organs - of the soul, only a breath
Concentration - Full self-control

Traps in the ambush - cold eyes - Force
In the endless labyrinth, I have readied your bed
Come to me in the glass palace - diamond grasped in steel

Only a lock in ice, and the key is well hidden - of the soul, only a breath
In deepest sleep, never again to wake - of the soul, only a breath
I take you with me in the land without return - of the soul, only a breath

Refrain:

Give me your blood - Of the soul, only a breath
It's not enough - Of the soul, only a breath
Not good enough - Of the soul, only a breath
Give me your blood - Of the soul, only a breath


"Dein Erbe" / "Your Inheritance" translation
An animal stands up - kills his brother
Discovers the wheel - he bequeaths it to you
A man on a cross - atonement and guilt
All of his pain - he bequeaths to you

A red rooster - The mother burns
A people in the illusion - The scream as testament
The mob screams - Loses the head in the illusion
Freedom and Equality - as allowance serves you

Six million dead
A people die in chambers
The lie as leader
That is what grandfather left

The full Paunch - the weariness
Paralyzing fear - My parting kiss

So is the legacy - it is all yours
The guilt and the death - shall be your inheritance!
So be my last will, Afterward comes only silence...

Refrain:

So be your inheritance - so is the legacy - the Testament be executed!
When I die - The guilt of your mountain pastures sticks in your blood!


"Deus Ex Machina" translation
Every day, every hour you are not alone,
Every particular second I am by you,
You know who I am, I am inside your head,
I am you and you are me,
Yet in reality, I control you!
I know, you think, you are from time to time alone,
The perfect deception and you purely fall for it,
You think you know everything, but you dont know a thing,
Your body is only a covering and is filled by - me!

I know what you need and I proportion you.
Entertainment, Maintenence, proportioned by me
Always enough, that you hold me in life
and I only so fast, fall from faith,
Yes, from time to time, you defend yourself from me,
Yet I make you believe, we are friends you and I.
And you dont notice more, how you speak to both of us.
Finally - one thinks of you as my friend.
A life without me you have unfortunately only dreamed of,
Then from a wrong move, i detonate...

Since zero-hour, yes, since your birth,
Am I by you, am I in you - it was my birth too
I am the little Microchip, completely hidden in your brain,
I am the little god behind your forehead,
I instruct you, or what you better leave,
I hold your free thoughts tightly,
What you like, how you feel - it is my choice,
I am that which you say, that is just normal
You are remote controlled and you are not it,
Then actually I am in you and that is completely, completely close,
Until death seperates us we remain connected,
Your dying is only a small wound to me.

Refrain:

Deus Ex Machina
