Kelch der Liebe [English translation]

My body dives into light

And my spirit swims behind

My heart is my compass

And love my horizonh

Those words are like storms

Those glances like a rough sea

The waves engulf me often

But they never claim victory!

And who asks for me and who wants to hear me?

And who looks at me and who speaks to me?

And I - I do not want to live without an aim!

A life without love is not life!

I need no life!

I only need you!

Your body -

Your soul -

And your heart!

This one takes from my soul

That one eats from my spirit

Others drink from my love

And many achiev from my strength

I am human and I need love

But what remains is only longing

And these words that hurt me

But are not even meant for me

And who asks for me and who wants to hear me?

And who looks at me and who speaks to me?

And I - I do not want to live without an aim!

A life without love is not life!

I need no life!

I only need you!

Your body -

Your soul -

And your heart!

And whe the world is in flames

And the last of mankind has gone

Even if the sun is bursting

The light of love will remain with you

Take this chalice

With the life of a nameless clown

Of the one locked out - the one rejected

Of the shadowly creature of light

This in now the chalice

Filled with the love of a clown

Of the one locked out - the one rejected

Of the shadowly creature of love
