Haarscharf [English translation]

There's light at the horizon

Last stones are gone

Finally out of the hug

Slowly out of the dirt

No more veil in front of my eyes

Sadness gone from the dust

No bitter taste on my tongue

Allowed to live at last

Again looking into the mirror

Shaving you out of my face

I'm not a victim on your route

My reason has warned me

All signs went on alarm

My mind was narcotized

You were way too soft and warm

Irresistibly trained

Your world was calculated

Contract with temptation

No holding, I'm no hero

You've baited my senses

You've played your game with me

Only your rules were valid, mean and wild

You've turned me in your hand

Precisely right at the byass

Just managed to get off

Away from the blade in the last moment

You haven't ended me up

You've slowly let the air get out of my lungs

Tearing wet circles on my skin

Told me desperate lies

I've believed in you again and again

You've filled up my veins with mad thunderstorms

You've loved me to dizziness

You've finished me off according to your plan

You were poison, bad luck, dynamite

You've showed me off from the distance

You've guided me into your net

With your killer instinct you've almost choked me

But it didn't work out for you

Precisely right at the byass

Just managed to get off

Away from the blade in the last moment

You haven't ended me up

Your tricks don't work anymore

I'm learning to walk again

I've uncovered you in time

I never want to see you again

Precisely right at the byass

Just managed to get off

Away from the blade in the last moment

You haven't ended me up
