Zerstörte Zelle [English translation]

I just know where I'm still remaining

Just know where I seem to have always been

I just know that I'm still remaining here

Just know that I was always simply here

Destroyed cell*

Destroyed cell

See the cellulary structure

See my cellulary structure

Disegrating puff by puff by puff

See my cellulary structure disegrating

Puff by puff by puff

Destroyed cell

Destroyed cell

And suddenly I notice:

That arms aren't wings

And they're totally unable to fly

Totally unable to fly

Destroyed cell

Destroyed cell

The nucleus explodes

Self-quoting - the nucleus explodes

The cell's wall collapses

Destroyed cell - Cells on fire

Tonight I'm setting my cells on fire**

The nucleus explodes

Lava explodes

Destroyed cell

Destroyed cell

Do you hear, brother?

I am Prometheus

But my liver isn't growing back

But my liver isn't growing back

Tonight I'm setting the cells on fire

The Eagle must starve

[The Eagle] may starve

[The Eagle] will starve

The emaciated fowl is crashing
