Mein Element [English translation]

A cold storm pulls me over

It is the storm of ignorance

Since what is happening to you is monotony

When you dance in acid rain

In the fable woods of insincerity

You have knitted1 the fuel

You forgot who you were, long ago

While the world around you suffocates

And that is my element

Do you see the clouds pull down the light of the sun?

My element

And every good time is a gift in endlessness.

My element

Can you see the sky and sense how the wind blows?

My element

And so I draw there and I know that I am an, an earthling

Where is the god that made you so?

The you the earth trusted

She ceded her destiny

To whose love you still believe

But greed just has you in his hand

She is the strongest motive

Sits so deep in mind

Has you in hold as long as you are giving

And that is my element

Do you see the clouds pull down the light from the sun?

My element

And every good time is a gift in endlessness.

My element.

Can you see the sky and sense the wind blow?

My element

And so I draw there and I know that I am an, an earthling

The earth is the last place you will ever see

For you are clear where you come from

You meet what you have sown

And that is my element

Do you see the clouds pull down the light from the sun?

My element

And every good time is a gift in endlessness

My element

Can you see the sky and sense the wind blowing?

My element

And so I draw there and I know that I am an, an earthling
