Ebenbild [English translation]

I do not know my father

He lives in a far-off land

I have never won, only lost

No mother bore me

My eyes are drawn to my mirror

My eyes go wide with shock

A tube coming from my navel

Giving me life

Your voice speaks deep within me

Coldly giving orders

Your blood runs in my veins

and my rage burns and boils

I am created and conceived

(born from your blood)

Written off, word for word

(the spirit you conjured)

I am a fractured image of your self

(I owe you my life)

Not begotten but made

A fool who laughs from within the mirror

I am alone with my questions

The answer has only four letters

A secret alphabet

written in the blood

You were driven by an evil spirit

You simply wrote it off

You copied it word for word

spelling out my soul

Your voice speaks deep within me

Coldly giving orders

Your blood runs in my veins

and my rage burns and boils

I am created and conceived

(born from your blood)

Written off, word for word

(the spirit you conjured)

I am a fractured image of your self

(I owe you my life)

Not begotten but made

A fool who laughs from the mirror

Mirror, mirror on the wall

I know you all too well

Mirror, mirror on the wall

I made you with my own hands

Mirror, mirror on the wall

I know you all too well

Mirror, mirror on the all

You live and die by my hand

Deep within you, my voice speaks

Coldly giving orders

My blood flows in your veins

and your rage burns and boils

You are created and conceived

(born from my blood)

Written off, word for word

(the spirit I conjured)

You are a copy of my self

(You owe me your life)

You are not begotten but made

The fool who laughs from within the mirror

I am like you, an original

not a cheap copy

A perfectly faked mirror image

but I will never be an original

Greedily I breathe in life

(my heartbeat matches yours)

I am your twin and your son

but in the end, I am but a clone
