Flamme im Wind [English translation]

A weak candlelight

Out there at the door

Fighting for glamour and warmth

You - the light of my life

A flame in the wind

My laughing face appears in the mirror

The breath passes away

Then it sinks down into darkness

Silent - mute

Figures in winter

I lick my soul sore

A call lights up the night

Expectation covered with hope

But solitude folloews the silence

Sobering becomes resignation

Static monotony

There's no second call

This candle in the snow

Too weak to stay alight

My shape becomes part of the night

Breath veils the reflection

In the mist there is a silhouette

Just like then - it returns

I'm stripped 'til the skin

Foreign eyes start burning wounds in! my flesh

I feel my yearning grows

In the storm I feel my hope e ncrease

However, that is all that happens

The snow's dancing around the flame

The sparkie now is dull

There's no warmth anymore

My body's conqueed by the ice

My light disappears.

The dream will never end

Desire never dies

There's still a waiting for

The body lies still in the snow

Waiting for the sun

Hands are open

The smile on the face never fades away
