Schmetterlinge Im Eis [English translation]

I landed a lot on you

Geared it to you

Turned over your heart

Turned over

Torn your nerves

Used up your stamina

Started giving you the count

Pumped up your goodwill into a stand-up collar

Blurred your sight infinitely

Demanded from you superhuman feats

Divided off my madness

Claimed every corner in your room

For my false fate

Adored, flattened, and wrecked you

With my addiction to consolation

Left my knots for you to solve

Bequeathed my waves to smooth them out

You put every wave quietly onto the shore

You gave me what I deserved

I paid the just price

I need you back for my survival

Your butterflies in the ice

Your butterflies in the ice

No one speaks my language

Buys off my memories

No bid

No one will get my suitcase

Inititate legal proceedings in my behalf

Put up bail for me

No one will provide me with an alibi

No one will accept my plea for clemency

No one who'll spare me the truth

You gave me what I deserved

I paid the just price

I need you back for my survival

Your butterflies in the ice

Your butterflies in the ice

Your butterflies in the ice

No one will cry my tears

No one will suffer

No one will take over my spell

No one will make undone

Will start from the beginning for me

No one will loosen my noose

Will suspend my sentence

No one will bribe the hangman

Get me out of this nightmare

No one will change the screenplay

No one will take off the movie

No one will pray for me

No one who'll tell me your opinion

No one will tell me the codeword,

Reveal your whereabouts to me

I'm floating on a lonely mountain

Need your butterflies in the ice

Your butterflies in the ice
