Dunkelherz [English translation]

Darkness is beckoning me

My lungs are burning

On this path of no return

My lungs are burning

I can't keep up anymore

What will I leave behind

When my time has come?

I arrived with empty hands

And I'm gonna depart just the same

I'm not looking for darkness

Darkness is looking for me

A hand's cold fingers

Are taking the light away from me

Darkness is beckoning me

Bucket wheel excavators

Large as a planet

Excavate my soul

Was there one to begin with? No idea

I've stopped

Praying for it

My lungs are burning

For the cross I bear seems to weigh a ton

My lungs are burning

I can't keep up anymore

Feeling as lonely as Marie Antoinette

As empty as eyes on a deathbed

I'm not looking for darkness

Darkness is looking for me

A hand's cold fingers

Are taking the light away from me

If I stay

So does the pain

Monkey business, dark heart

Darkness is beckoning me

In the midst of life

We are surrounded by death
