Durch die Wüste [English translation]

I come from the desert of steel and glass

I come from the desert of fear and hatred

Where men die of thirst on the search for love

Sick from despair and tired from waiting

I come from the country of the tainted streets

Where one has to sell the day to sleep carefree

Where life is faster than a heart can beat

And a thousand liars speak before one of them can tell the truth

I come from the planet of the desperate gods

I come from the planet of the rich beggars

Where love is sold and hatred is given away

Where one rewards the murderers and hangs the saints

Help me, help me!

Show me the way out of here

Don't leave me hanging, give me an answer

Show me the way out of here

Help me!
