Siehst Du Mich Im Licht? [English translation]

Your lips pressed into the flesh

Mine wildly contorted

In the orgasm of vulnerability

The soul is crying out for more

Come along into my little world

And eat your way through to the scaffold

Chew each cell of my cold raw skin to pieces

And you remain empty

You have destroyed

Only experienced this ecstasy for seconds

And you remain empty

You lied and deceived

And only projected yourself in all this

Two eyes in your head

And the ears left and right

And as blind as a dead fish

You cannot understand me

No - you will never understand me

You can only talk about me

You don't give a shit if it's true or not

Because it never affects you in the end

You are the last authority

You are the gauge of the balance

You are the murderer of each essence of truth

In a short moment

Of blind arrogance

You sense your wisdom

Your falseness - your obsession

And you are not aware that

Your stupidity is the desire

Which is slowing erasing your mind

And you remain empty

You have destroyed

Only experienced this ecstasy for seconds

And you need more

You must lie and deceive

And in all of this -

Can you see me in the light?

Two eyes in your head

And the ears left and right

And as blind as a dead fish

You cannot understand me

No - you will never understand me

You can only write about me

You don't give a shit if it's true or not

Because it never affects you in the end

You are the last authority

You are the gauge of the balance

You are the murderer of each essence of truth

Your strength doesn't lie in talking

You look for your victims in monologues

Whose beings keep you alive

Two eyes in your head

And your heart in the wrong place

You are the echo of our time

You are the mouthpiece far and wide

I don't want to make any words

Since it is you who makes enough already

You will probably laugh again

In the meantime I'll drink your blood

Two eyes in your head

And your heart in the wrong place

And as deaf as a dead fish

You cannot understand me

No - you will never understand me

You will never understand me!
