Versuchung [English translation]

I want to die

Instead of suffering this again

I look back with moist eyes

My lips tremble helpless overcharged

Too many words urge out of my mouth

Nothing's allowed to slip out anymore

I have to be silent

Finally to escape from mankind

I know all their lies

Every vicious breath

The friend is much too close

He's human being and he's foe

All the years covered by the friendship's shield

Behind it he gathered arms

Escape

With moist eyes I was longing to the past

I'm chilled - deepest yearning

I'm silent and I freeze to death

Looking back I seize the smoke

The ruin behind it

Filled with hope

To discover the silhouette

You come out of the moist

Show me more of you

Foreign venus - show me more

I want to die

Instead of seeing you in all your brightness

Prepare me

I throw me at your feet - enemyGive me more of you

Get stripped

Bare your soul

I'll chain m e at your breast

To rest on white marble

I'll submit to you

To be devoted under your wings

White Godess or man?

Give me more of you

Let me sink into your crater

Capture me into your center

Grant my yearning

I want to die

Instead of suffering this again.
