Steine [English translation]

[first verse]

I dig in the rubble with both hands

My fingers numb, eyes burning

Building myself a mountain out of pain and questions

Should I bury myself under them!

I go at the craggy rocks with a hammer

Not stopping, years must waltz

Making holes in the fear, in my conscience

First bits of childhood and they are missing.

[chorus]

And then I sit on the bed and eat stones

Yours, mine, big, small

Bite my teeth out, if i crush you

I think just as it happens

And so i sit on the bed and eat stones

old, heavy, sharp, fine

Till I am ready, let me be alone

I think just as it happens

So stone by stone

Stone by stone

[second verse]

Then down in the depths, in the darkened shaft

Where the candle goes out and i go on

Even when down here the bird no longer sings

Shall I bring tons of debris upwards

And then squatting in the rubble, digging with both hands

What would happen when my hand suddenly finds yours?

What would happen when my hand suddenly finds yours?

What would happen when we find each other among the stones?

[chorus]

[bridge]

And sometime

Between the last stone

A first glimmer

A first shimmer

of new life, of new light

[chorus]

...

stone by stone

stone by stone
