Kartenhaus [English translation]

I search for the thing that lets me forget

That it's dark in my life

And the night occupies the day

And won't let a single spark of light to me

I am missing nothing and still I do miss a lot

I am too weak to get up again

And to strong to lie here

Now I woke up

Hold the light in my hands

Did not think of it anymore

That the tables would be turned again

You refreshed my life

Infect me with your strength

You make everything worth living

I don't want to struggle against it

You put up a candle

Bring the light into my world

Make my life a house of cards

Build on you

Like every word needs a voice

Like the moon dives into every night

Like every truth needs its countenance

That's the way I need you

You are the wind and you carry me high

And I know you can see me fly

And force me to fall with one word as well

Woke up again

With darkness in my hands

I would never have thought

That the tables would be turned again

You turned off my life

And did not waste a thought on that

You were the meaning and the value of my life

And now all this is not worth anything at all

You simple put out the candle

Because you don't need it anymore

Make my life a house of cards

And pull out the lowermost card
