1. Sehnsucht - Longing
Let me ride your tear
over the chin to Africa
again into the she-lion's lap
where I lived once
between your long legs
I search the snow of last year
but there's no snow over
Let me ride your tear
over clouds without luck
the big bird pushes the head
smoothly back into its hideaway
between your long legs
searches the sand of last year
but there's no sand anymore
longing hides
like an insect
while asleep you don't notice
it biting you
lucky I don't get anywhere
the finger slides to mexico
but it sinks in the ocean
longing is so cruel
longing
2. Engel - Angel
Who in his lifetime is good on Earth
Becomes after death an angel
And you watching the sky ask yourself,
Why can't you see them?
First when the clouds go to sleep
You can see us in the sky
We are afraid and alone
God knows I won't be an angel
They live behind the horizon
Divorced from us, endless wide
They must hold to the stars
So that they don't fall from Heaven
First when the clouds go to sleep
You can see us in the sky
We are afraid and alone
God knows I won't be an angel
First when the clouds go to sleep
You can see us in the sky
We are afraid and alone
God knows I won't be an angel

Engel (English Version)- Angel
Live in virtue, no desire
In the grave an angel's choir
You look to heaven and wonder why
No one can see them in the sky
Just as the clouds have gone to sleep
Angels can be seen in heaven's keep
Alone in fear they question why
Goddamn not an angel when I die
Angels live, they never die
Apart from us, behind the sky
They're fading souls who've turned to ice
So ashen white in paradise
Just as the clouds have gone to sleep
Angels can be seen in heaven's keep
Alone in fear they question why
Goddamn not an angel when I die
Goddamn an angel when I die
Heaven must be hell in the sky

3. Tier - Animal
What does a man
what does a man
who can't differentiate
beetween human and animal
what
He will go to his daughter
she's beautiful and young of years
and then he will like a dog mate
with his own flesh and blood
what are you doing
what are you feeling
what are you
just an animal
what does a woman
what does a woman
who can't differentiate
between animal and man
She dips the feather into his blood
and writes a letter to herself
dissouled lines to the childhood
when her father slept by her
what are you doing
what are you feeling
what are you
just an animal
4. Bestrafe mich - Punish me
Punish me
punish me
straw becomes gold
and gold becomes stone
your greatness shrinks me down
you may be my punisher yeah
the Lord takes
the Lord gives
Punish me
punish me
you mean yes
and I think no
prayer also for me
before the wind blows even colder
your greatness shrinks me down
you may be my punisher
you may be my punisher
your greatness shrinks me down
you may be my punisher
your greatness shrinks him down
you will be my punishment
the Lord takes
the Lord gives
but He only gives to those
who He loves
punish me
5. Du hast - You Have
You
You have
You have me
You
You have
You have me
You have asked me
You have asked me
You have asked me
And i have said nothing
Will you until death seperates you,
Be true to her for all days
No
Will you until death seperates you,
Love her in bad days
No

Du Hast (English Version)- You hate
You
You hate
You hate me
You
You hate
You hate me
You hate me to say
You hate me to say
You hate me to say
And I did not obey
Will you until death does sever
Be upright to her forever
Never
Will you 'til death be her rider
Her lover too, to stay inside her
Never

6. Bück dich - Bend down
Bend down I command you
turn your countenance away from me
your face is equal
bend down
a two-legged on all fours
I take him for a walk
in the amble
along the corridor
I'm disappointed
Now he comes backwards for me
Honey glues at the garter
I'm disappointed
totally disappointed
Bend down
the face doesn't intrest me
The two-foot has bent down now
what casts a good reflection on him
I show him what is possible
and start to cry
Bend down
The two-foot stammers a prayer
from fear because I feel worse
he starts to bend down even more
tears run up the back
bend down
bend down I command you
turn your countenance away from me
your face is equal
bend down once more
bend down
7. Spiel mit mir - Play with me
We share room and bed
Little brother come and be kind
Little brother come touch me
Slide over to me real close
In front of the bed a black hole
And every sheep falls into it
I'm already too old, but still I count them
Because I cannot get to sleep
Beneath the navel in the branches
A white dream is already waiting
Little brother come hold fast
And shake the leaves off the tree for me
Play a game with me
Give me your hand and
Play with me
A game
Play with me
A game
Play with me
Because we are alone
Play with me
A game
Father Mother Child
Little brother's hand hurts
He turns back to the wall
The brother helps me now and then
So I can sleep
Play a game with me
Give me your hand and
Play with me
A game
Play with me
A game
Play with me
Because we are alone
Play with me
A game
Father Mother Child
8. Klavier - Piano
They tell me
Unlock this door
Curiosity becomes a scream
What may be behind it
Behind this door
A piano stands
The keys are dusty
The strings are out of tune
Behind this door
She sits at the piano
But she's not playing anymore
(Sigh) That was so long ago
There at the piano
I listened to her
And when she started to play
I held my breath
She told me
I'll always stay with you
But it only seemed
She plays for me only
I poured her blood
Into the fire of my anger
I locked the door
They asked for her
There at the piano
I listened to her
And when she started to play
I held my breath
There at the piano
I stood beside her
It seemed
She plays for me only
The door is open
Oh, how they scream
I hear mother entreating
Father is beating me
They detach her from the piano
And nobody here believes me That I'm deathly sick
From grief and stench
There at the piano
I listened to her
And when she started to play
I held my breath
There at the piano
She listened to me
And when I started to play
She held her breath
9. Alter Mann - Old man
He waits for the midday's wind
the wave comes and lies down slowly
with a fan every day
the old one makes the water even
I throw the stone for my pleasure
the water moves in circles
the old one looks worried at me
and sweeped it even again
in the white sand the old man
trembling smokes his pipe
only the water and i know
for what he needs this fan
the presentiment sleeps like a volcano
hesitating i have asked
the head bent it seems he slept
he said before he died
The water shall be your mirror
after it's even you will see
how much fairy-tale stays for you
and for redemption you will plead
The fan pressed against his body
in agony his hand gets stiff
they had to break his fingers
the fan stays in the sand
I'm calling the old one every day
he might redeem me
I stay in the midday's wind
and I can read in the fan
The water shall be your mirror
after it's even you will see
how much fairy-tale stays for you
and for redemption you will plead
10. Eifersucht - Jealousy
Am I more handsome
then cut my face
am I stronger
then break cowardly my neck
am I smarter
then kill me and eat my brain
have I your woman
then kill me and eat me up
then eat me up
Am I more honest
then bite off my tounge
am I richer
then steal everything
am I more courageous
then kill me and eat my heart
11. Küss mich [Fellfrosch] - Kiss me [Furfrog]
She always keeps still
Because she wants to be fingered
She puffs herself up in the dry grass
The moist little eye becomes wet
Captured in the darkness
She never sees the sunlight
Twitching from lewdness she then entreats
The tongue inside the man
Kiss me
She bites and seizes every tongue
Because she enjoys to be licked
But because it tastes a little bitter
She seldom is kissed
Captured in ...
Kiss me
The tongue now crawls from the mouth
And hits her - wild and in ecstasy
Seral times violently across the face
Her nose is bleeding terribly
Captured in ...
Kiss me
On my moist lips
Kiss me
Even if it tastes bitter
kiss me
