Halber Mensch [English translation]

Half man

Half man

Keep going, In any direction

We Have Placed Truths for you

Only our transmitters

Shine in their cracks

On the hour we broadcast

Your values

Keep going

We care for you (5x...)

We trigger your senses

We sense for you

We trigger your senses

Noise reduction

(Half man) (3x...)

You don't see the transmitters and cables

Hanging, laid long ago

From your nerve endings they hang

See your second half

He who is in part has nothing to impart

Keep going

We care for you (5x...)

We trigger your senses

We sense for you

So the 2nd half will never meet

(We care for you) (2x...)

So the 2nd half will never meet

We trigger your senses

(Keep going)

We sense for you

(In any direction)

See your second half

Which for no apparent reason wakes up screaming

Approaches screaming, you don't see it

Riveted on evening programs

He who is in part has nothing to impart

(Now as before)

Keep going

(Now as before)

In any direction

(Now as before) (3x...)

Strain yourself (2x...)

(Now as before)

Keep going

(Now as before)

We care for you (3x...)

See your second half

(He who is in part has nothing to impart)

Keep going

See your second half

(Now as before)

See your second half

(Strain yourself) (2x...)

(Now as before)

See your second half

(Strain yourself) (2x...)

So the 2nd half will never meet

(We care for you) (2x...)

So the 2nd half will never meet

Nothing for me, nothing for you

The reaper stands there

Keep going

Can't go any further

You shapeless plasticine

On which life's spirits

Sucks the last remaining

Sparks, they fly away

Drunk, reeling and swaying

Dancing futile in the sun

You sure don't matter

They finish you off

A view made for the gods

The reaper sends his kind regard

Sickle not be (8x...)
