Schattenland [English translation]

I stand in the rain

And no God speaks to me

And I ask myself over and over:

"Why am I here?"

A spear hulks from my soul

There is no feeling

I am cold and empty

I want to go through fire once again

Until my heart is ablaze

Sparks swirl in the air

So that I cannot breathe nevermore

I think of all the destroyed wishes

No matter how often I have tried

My hope is gutted

And rots there in shadowland

I feel so helpless

Does my life have a reason?

The flames inside me no longer burn

And no words come out my mouth

I want to break the chains

So that my spirit sets free once again

I gather up my courage

So that I do not have to cry anymore

A last time

I shout out the pain inside me

Until it goes on

Before my heart is ablaze
