Wie ein Engel [English translation]

Dark clouds, dazzling lighning and I am am heading for you on a horse

on pictures cheating me, sorrounded by threads holding me, tearing at me, making sure that I drown

No day on which I don’t see my powers fading, try to find myself in the middle of all these voices, which are chaining me and let me forget, I would hate if I could, I would kill

Seek your closeness, don’t understand why and because of what, why the heavy burdens on the shoulders, your life is f*cked up, tell me how long has it been since you really felt, no matter if joy or sorrow, today I’ll climb above – tomorrow I’ll fall down

Run and fool yourself, but in contrary to you tears are flowing when I cry, I am a man still I feel pain when I am bleeding, take what I can get, know the Bad and the Good, search for my enemies – search for them among my friends, see my shadow, why should I deny it?

Know my weakness and defend them with my strenght, stars fall and they are landing deep under the earth, brothers leave but they stay alive because I am thinking of them, hands do not always help you, we’ll soon see what is to become of everything, am I pawn or king, am I bishop or rook, because life will be over like a house of cards in storm.

I call your name, I feel your breath even when my tears are flowing, I will stay here and wait, the shadow will go away, the fog will pass, like an angel you’ll come to take my sorrow, because you know I am calling your name, I feel your breath even when my tears are flowing, I will stay here and wait, the shadow will go away, the fog will pass, like an angel you’ll come.

My heroes die and I pray that you think of me, when I fall you’ll catch me, I need you – do you see me?

Fears are falling heavily from my soul, I chose my way, I look deep into my eyes, why do small children believe in this lie, because I feel that you know that I am waiting for you to appear in front of me, every night I hear you, it will last forever until your light is coming through my clouds and I thank you for every sign, how long will it last, how long will I have to suffer anymore, how long do I have to see how the illusion is fading and my father is beating my mother?

My brother hearing his parents, his hopes being destroyed and to what should he cling to, when he can’t even count on his own blood, too much sorrow remains, just think of this, which has been, which is now, which will be, everybody is going to die someday and what will you do then?

You doubt in God, your words full of taunt, you swear on the lie, because the truth is too cold for you, what will be when you are old, where do you want to flee too, when death is sitting at your bed, extending a hand to you and carrying you on his arms, have you truly lived?

Yeah, you know, you know, you see, you see, you come, you come – yeah, king of kings.
