Follow Your Heart

Just once won't hurt,
enough is not enough
whether angels or sinners
or self-deception.
 
Just twice won't hurt,
cursed and free as a bird,
all fires burn
with sin number three.
 
Follow your heart,
freer than the wind,
there are no limits
and time is running out.
Follow your heart
or my advice:
sin is more beautiful
than the path of virtue.
 
Follow your heart,

Follow your heart
or my advice:

than the path of virtue.
 
Burn one more time,
feel hot the embers,
You can call it sin
that I do wonders.
 
I'd rather live
every breath.
All my sins,
enough is never enough.
 
Follow your heart,
freer than the wind,
there are no limits
and time is running out.
Follow your heart
or my advice:
sin is more beautiful
than the path of virtue.

When The Last Curtain Falls

Sleepless, breathless and burned out,
how long have I been running away?
Sleepless, breathless and on the run,
how long have they been looking for me?
And no one knows where the journey will go,
it's too late to die young anyway!
 
When the last curtain falls,
when the last act is played,
when nothing remains of old grandeur,
give me this dance again
when the last curtain falls.
 
Sleepless, breathless and rushed,
they put a bounty on my head.
Sleepless, breathless, nothing is over,
I run and run until I'm free.
 
When the last curtain falls,
when the last act is played,
when nothing remains of old grandeur,
give me this dance again
when the last curtain falls.
 
When the last curtain falls,
when the last act is played,
when nothing remains of old grandeur,
give me this dance again
when the last curtain falls.

With You

Where the water is cold and clear,
I once saw you,
where I was together with you,
I will stay forever.
 
My heart is lost
where I was with you
and only the memory
remains forever there.
 
I want to be with you,
Once again with you,
I want to be with you,
Forever with you,
I want to go with you,
Forever with you,
So deep into the abyss,
Forever and here.
 
And in my dreams
your beauty is thousandfold,
Will you appear to me?
Will I go with you?
 
And the tears ran down,
I tasted their salt
And your lips were burning
I covered them gently.
 
I want to be with you,
Once again with you,
I want to be with you,
Forever with you,
I want to go with you,
Forever with you,
So deep into the abyss,
Forever and here. [x4]

The Sky Burns

The shadows disintegrate
The night comes to an end
Your mouth burns
one time in my heart
 
I'll hold you one more time
so tight in my arms
My secret love
My eternal pain
 
But when I go away from you today,
it won't be forever
And the sun washes
her red blood into the sea
 
Our loneliness
is not for eternity
And there'll be nothing left to separates us
when the sky burns
 
Your tears illuminate
the water of the sea
In the waves' games,
it's your face I see
 
But when I go away from you today,
it won't be forever
And the sun washes
her red blood into the sea
 
Our loneliness
is not for eternity
And there'll be nothing left to separates us
when the sky burns [x3]

Black Angel

Come here to me, embrace me softly
With your wings you bring me the night
The blue moon and your face
Kiss me again, I just want you
 
Black angel, kiss my hot heart
Black angel, drink from my pain
Black angel, it pulls me toward you
Half full of hate, half full of greed
Black angel, warm me, I'm so cold
Black angel, come to me, I'm calling you
In your wings, hold me tight tonight
You know well that I can't be without you
 
You are the illusion of my lust
The black heart in my chest
We've been banished to the darkness
I've lit a light for you there
 
Black angel, kiss my hot heart
Black angel, drink from my pain
Black angel, it pulls me toward you
Half full of hate, half full of greed
Black angel, warm me, I'm so cold
Black angel, come to me, I'm calling you
In your wings, hold me tight tonight
You know well that I can't be without you
 
Black angel, warm me, I'm so cold
Black angel, come to me, I'm calling you
In your wings, hold me tight tonight
You know well that I can't be without you [x2]

Without a Home

So many a battle beaten
So many maidens kissed
Traveled half the world
The sails always hoisted
 
I've grasped at happiness
Saw Godfather Death
Whistled the freedom song
Could never stand still
 
I was at home everywhere
And yet without a home1
The longing unfulfilled
My dreams were huge
 
I'm back in your circle
I was gone for much too long
But now I'm here again
 
Take my hand
Turn around in circles
Forget your worries
Drown your mind
Take my hands
Turn around in circles
Forget your worries
Come take my hand
 
Have climbed many a mountain
Maybe I've lost the trail
I may never arrive
Born as a wanderer
 
I was at home everywhere
And yet without a home
The longing unfulfilled
My dreams were huge
 
I'm back in your circle
I was gone for much too long
But now I'm here again
 
Take my hand
Turn around in circles
Forget your worries
Drown your mind
Take my hands
Turn around in circles
Forget your worries
Come take my hand [x2]
 
  • 1. 'Heimatlos' could be translated as homeless, but I chose to say 'without a home' because it fits this context better. He is not referring to living on the street, but rather to being without a home by choice, more like a vagabond.

Twilight

Versions: #2
The twilight, it settles in
when your shadow touches me,
but I don’t want to be so weak
that your breath tempts me
 
Your curse cannot tempt me
You can’t pull me into your spell
I won’t howl with the wolves
No, I won’t be a nobody
I won’t dance into your chains
And I won’t be your slave
You’re pretending you want to rescue me
I scream into the night
 
Ice cold is the rubble
in which you imprison yourself
You recognize neither friend nor foe,
the twilight has long since united them
 
I won’t dance into your chains
And I won’t be your slave
You’re pretending you want to rescue me
I scream into the night

The Calm Before the Storm

No bird in the sky
The land is frozen
in emptiness and silence
Forever and ever banished
 
And the sun shines
And the rain runs
And nothing ends
And nothing begins
 
But the time is ripe
To destroy the ban
Then the world will
belong to us again
 
Do you feel the calm,
the calm before the storm?
Nothing is forever
Nothing lost for eternity
Do you feel the calm,
the calm before the storm?
The time is ripe
for our magic to be born anew
 
No human laughter
No soft prayer
Not sleeping, not waking
Blown by the wind
 
But the time is ripe
To destroy the ban
Then the world will
belong to us again
 
Do you feel the calm,
the calm before the storm?
Nothing is forever
Nothing lost for eternity
Do you feel the calm,
the calm before the storm?
The time is ripe
for our magic to be born anew [x2]

Descent Into Hell

I like having guests
and invite them to join me
At my feast, you shall
be the Brother Lustig1
 
I welcome you
at the gate to the underworld
Come with me on the journey
Just as you please
 
Now or never
All or nothing
I know, my friend
You'll do what you promised
 
Now or never
Write it with blood
And you will see
that it does wonders
 
Riding on hellhounds
until golden sparks spray
Gliding through dark worlds
until we burn up
 
And all the kettles are burning
the fire's hot embers
And you will indeed recognize
how good it is to sin.
 
Now or never
All or nothing
I know, my friend
You'll do what you promised
 
Now or never
Write it with blood
And you will see
that it does wonders
 
Do you want to ride with me?
Do you want to go with me?
I want only your soul,
you'll well understand that
 
I'll show you hell,
the gateway to the underworld
I know for sure
that you'll like it there
 
Now or never
All or nothing
I know, my friend
You'll do what you promised
 
Now or never
Write it with blood
And you will see
that it does wonders
 
  • 1. Brother Lustig is a character from a Grimm's fairy tale who travels to hell but is not allowed in by the gatekeeper.

Poison

I've sliced an apple,
I rode through the cold night,
A little poison in the red part
So I offer my goods for sale.
 
Her hair black hair like ebony,
She was so beautiful and full of pride,
Now her red mouth is for me,
Her skin like snow in the soft light.
 
Her hair black hair like ebony,
She was so beautiful and full of pride,
Now her red mouth is for me,
Her skin like snow in the soft light.
 
Then you fell asleep slowly,
The sweet dreams of a distant harbor,
I just thought about how beautiful you are,
I kissed your white mouth.
 
Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
Who's the most beautiful here in the land,
Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
Who wants to be the next in the land.
 
Her hair black hair like ebony,
She was so beautiful and full of pride,
Now her red mouth is for me,
Her skin like snow in the soft light.

Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
Who's the most beautiful here in the land,
Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
Who wants to be the next in the land.
 
Like a sad, beautiful angel
Like a fairy in a white dress,
So I've you bedded for myself
In the river of the last eternity.
 
Her hair black hair like ebony,
She was so beautiful and full of pride,
Now her red mouth is for me,
Her skin like snow in the soft light. [x2]

Gigolo

His life is defined
by the glamour of the women's world,
by the beautiful appearance and reality,
by the game and big money.
 
He's so strange,
so mysterious.
He never talks too much
and always knows what he wants.
 
He's a gigolo,
a man of the world.
It's his lifestyle
that the women like.

Never Again

Between the graves in the evening light,
on a stone, I wait there for you.
And like a veil, the time
that we lost hangs over what I have left.
 
Never again doubt or freeze
Never again lose everything
Never again be broken
Never again, alone forever
 
A thousand thoughts are spinning within me
Hear your voice and know you're here
Feel your mouth and kiss it softly
Won't let you go till the morning awakens
 
Never again doubt or freeze
Never again lose everything
Never again be broken
Never again, alone forever
 
Never again
Never again
Never again
 
Never again doubt or freeze
Never again lose everything
Never again be broken
Never again, alone forever [x2]

Brothers in Spirit

Limitless, all rules overboard
We forget the time, drive from place to place
There's nothing that holds us captive
Free from everything, we're the kings of the world
 
We're brothers in spirit for eternity
We'll fly so far, so far
Brothers in spirit, forever and here
Because we're like pitch and sulfur,1
we are.
 
We go our own way, off the rails
You're not like me and I'm not like you
We're invincible when we're together
Against the rest of the world and as free as the wind
 
We're brothers in spirit for eternity
We'll fly so far, so far
Brothers in spirit, forever and here
Because we're like pitch and sulfur,
we are.
 
And the night belongs to us
Come, pour me a drink
What comes now
will be the good old stories of tomorrow
 
We're brothers in spirit for eternity
We'll fly so far, so far
Brothers in spirit, forever and here
Because we're like pitch and sulfur,
we are.
 
  • 1. 'wie Pech und Schwefel' is an idiomatic expression similar to 'thick as thieves,' it means they are very close friends. I left this as a literal translation because it suits the band well.

Time Heals All Wounds

Give me my courage back
My strength, so I can go
Burnt child shies away from the fire
But if not now, then when?
 
Throw the old coat in the dust
The old days are long gone
And I breathe the fresh wind,
it blows my lungs free
 
Because time heals all wounds
And after the ebb tide comes the tide
I didn't find what I was looking for,
But in the ashes there are still embers, still embers
 
You take me as I am,
You act against reason
You banish every doubt within me
You hold my heart in your hand
 
You've brought my rudderless ship
back on course
 
Because time heals all wounds
And after the ebb tide comes the tide
I didn't find what I was looking for,
But in the ashes there are still embers, still embers,
still embers
 
Because time heals all wounds
And after the ebb tide comes the tide
I didn't find what I was looking for,
But in the ashes there are still embers, still embers

The Devil's Bride

A handful of stars
Your eyes are rays
Lights in the night
My longing is torture
 
And the pale moon
bestows his light on us
Shadows dance, ghostlike,
in the darkness, just for you
 
Risen and awakened
Spit out into the night
 
I've been looking for you for so long
And I know you belong to me
I have entrusted myself to you
Everyone knows you're the devil's bride,
the devil's bride
 
Forgotten is the pain
Don't know anymore what I know
I'm pressing against your mouth
So naked and so hot
 
The desire burns me
Rain falls in my heart
But the radiance of your eyes
has brightened my night
 
Risen and awakened
Spit out into the night
 
I've been looking for you for so long
And I know you belong to me
I've entrusted myself to you
Everyone knows you're the devil's bride,
the devil's bride
 
When dawn breaks, I'm lost,
restless when the day disappears
I almost go under,
I don't see your eyes.
 
I've been looking for you for so long
And I know you belong to me
I've entrusted myself to you
Everyone knows you're the devil's bride
 
I've been looking for you for so long
And I know you belong to me
I've entrusted myself to you
Everyone knows you're the devil's bride,
the devil's bride

Perform Magic

The rivers shimmer phosphorous green
No birds fly in the sky anymore
You barely dare to go outside
No more drops of clear water
 
Floods are rising over the shore
And it even affects the good ones
Maybe I'm too biased,
but I would never have gone that far.
 
If I could perform magic,
and I was here at home,
If I could perform magic,
I wouldn't need hell anymore.
 
Greed has driven you far,
as if everything belongs to you.
You forgot to love enough
and have almost destroyed everything already.
 
Maybe I'm too biased,
but I would never have gone that far.
 
If I could perform magic,
and I was here at home,
If I could perform magic,
I wouldn't need hell anymore.
 
You yourselves have fixed it up here
even worse than in hell.
Now it really only helps to pray
I would've never thought that myself
 
If I could perform magic,
and I was here at home,
If I could perform magic,
I wouldn't need hell anymore. [x3]

The Curse

Time stands still
No wind moves you
Your doubts freeze
Because life will be sown by the light
 
Tracks in the dust
A thousand dreams slipped away in your eternity
And again, as from the beginning
the words burn your mind.
 
Your ways shall be endless
Darkness shall surround you
Time will be up until the morning dew
And the curse banishes the light.
 
A new day
The night lies behind you
Your way was far
But hope was close to you
 
You scream into the nothingness
Not a sound stirs
The key has long since rusted in the lock
Your reflection, so cold and empty
 
Rain falls
The ice splits open the cracks in the wall
and, what no one else is capable of,
a pure heart gives the words new meaning
 
Your ways shall be finite
And the light shall surround you
Then, at the first morning dew
the light burns the curse
 
A new day
The night lies behind you
Your way was far
Now hope is close to you

Back Again

Don't ask - oh no, don't ask where we were
We were tired
And we rested - and that was good
to create something new for all of you
Quite wonderful, even
And now we're back for you all
 
And now, now close your eyes
And let yourselves fall
And then the night with us will be infinite for all of you
 
And now dance
DANCE
Now dance with us through the night
And now dance - until the morning awakens
 
Surrender - yes, now surrender to our spell
Our magic and our charm
Finally all of your screams
of desire have aroused us
and that's why we play a dance for you
in full splendor
 
And now close your eyes
And let yourselves fall
And then the night with us will be infinite for all of you
 
And now dance – with us through the night
And now dance - until the morning awakens
And now dance - let the bodies squirm
And now dance - until the dancing mania1, awakens
 
And now dance
 
  • 1. Although the band's name, Tanzwut, is usually translated as 'dance rage,' (tanz= dance, wut=rage) the word Tanzwut means 'dancing mania,' a historical phenomenon in which groups of people would suddenly start dancing for no apparent reason.

Give Me Another Glass

This round's on me
Lift the glasses – toast! -
to all of those, like you and me,
who we can't forget.
 
And outside, the fog falls gently
in the lantern light.
We've already been awake for much too long,
but that doesn't count today.
 
Give me another glass!
Fill it to the brim!
And drink with me - to life!
Give yourself another one!
To heck with reason!
We'll paint the devil on the wall 1
 
No hour strikes us today
Our blood a distilled brew
Once again I want to feel
your heart full of exuberance
Death is closer than you think
It falls as softly as snow
You can feel it gently on your skin
because everything eventually passes
 
Give me another glass!
Fill it to the brim!
And drink with me - to life!
Give yourself another one!
To heck with reason!
We'll paint the devil on the wall

  • 1. This references a German idiom 'Den Teufel an die Wand malen' (to draw the devil on the wall), which means to assume the worst and view things from a pessimistic point of view. It was also believed that drawing such an image would summon the devil. Considering this phrase with the line before it and the general context of the song, what seems to be lost in translation is something along the lines of “Let's tempt fate and do it anyway.”

Never Without You

I hear your laughter, so I stand still
I feel your breath, but I can't see anyone
I feel your skin, but I'm alone
I smell your scent and that, too, cannot be
Quite clearly in front of me, I see your face
I want to embrace you, but I reach into nothing
 
Never without you
I never want to be without you
Never without you
Never without you
 
I hear your voice, its echo
I can't locate it, it's everywhere.
I've picked a flower for you
I don't know if you see it, maybe even smell it
I fall to my knees, I'm so alone
I begin to cry, the stone is so cold
 
Never without you
I never want to be without you
Never without you
Never without you
 
I hear your laughter
I feel your skin
I run into the night
I cry out to you
I lose my mind
like a rabid animal
 
Never without you
I never want to be without you
Never without you
Never without you
 
I hear your laughter
(Never without you)
I feel your skin
(I never want to be without you)
I run into the night
(Never without you)
I cry out to you
I lose my mind,
(Never without you)
like a rabid animal

The Guard

The guard
The guard
 
I'm only the tenant of your noble body
No one gets past me
I'm not a despiser of the oh-so-sweet woman
Never clear the way
 
I'm the guard, always at the post
I stand here at your door
As a defender, I look westward and eastward
When you call, I'm with you
 
I am your guard and guard over you
I'm a fair one, certainly not a bad one
I am your guard and keep a rigid watch
Until the laughter quiets down at night
 
I'm looking out!
I'm looking out!
I'm looking out!
I'm looking out!
 
And a real protector follows the guard
He's on the lookout and always stays awake
I'm certainly not a slaughterer, but I keep the six billion
people at bay
Two genders of a single blood
My shadow follows you everywhere
A weakened will full of courage
Like one's own echo
 
I am your guard and guard over you
I'm a fair one, certainly not a bad one
I am your guard and keep a rigid watch
Until the laughter quiets down at night
 
I'm looking out!
I'm looking out!
 
I am your guard and guard over you
I'm a fair one, certainly not a bad one
I am your guard and keep a rigid watch
Until the laughter quiets down at night
 
I'm looking out!
I'm looking out!
I'm looking out!
I'm looking out!

Forever

I wanted to touch you,
but you seem infinitely far away from me,
gone from me,
like something once conjured up in my dreams.
Hadn't you chosen me
for our eternity?
 
Forever, you had said.
Forever, you said.
 
Despite your silence, which torments me,
all that matters now is that our world is falling apart.
And between us, emptiness.
Inside of me, I stifle a weary cry.
I don't want to lose your magic,
but I'm already about to.
 
Forever
I just want to be with you forever
Forever
Forever, just with you alone
 
Forever
I just want to be with you forever
Forever
Forever, just with you alone
 
Forever
I just want to be with you forever
Forever
Forever, just with you alone [x4]

Richer Than A King

Too much money doesn't make me happy
too much money weighs heavily like lead,
because you can't buy what really counts
and so I guess it's all the same to me.
Too much money just leads to buying
and so I guess it's all the same to me.
 
I'm the master of my own fortune,1
what do I need of goods and money,
throw everything out the window,
it continues on this way in the world.
 
I am richer than a king,
let the moon be my silver,
yes, the sun and the stars,
for me, they're gold and gemstones.
Because freedom weighs more to me,
than all the riches in this world,
let's dance, let's live,
under the vast heavens.
 
Too much money just leads to envy,
who can you even trust,
false friends, all the flatterers,
Yes, hypocrisy and dread creep in.

Who We Are

We have, at every feast,
turned night into day.
We stole the leftovers at the end
and laughed about it.
 
There was nothing to lose,
the world was like a dirty rag,
we wanted to risk everything,
the freedom both a blessing and a curse.
 
And we went on the journey
in a long-lost land,
on the hunt and on the lookout,
our fate in our hands.
 
Who knows, who even knows, who we are,
only the wind knows the truth,
who knows, who knows, who can understand,
where we've come from, where we're going.
 
The hearts soaked up
with dark tobacco juice
and spat out into the waves
of the drunken black night
 
We swore
to stand together
and to
go this way together.
 
And we went on the journey
in a long-lost land,
on the hunt and on the lookout,
our fate in our hands.
 
Who knows, who even knows, who we are,
only the wind knows the truth,
who knows, who knows, who can understand,
where we've come from, where we're going. [x3]

New Shores

Dusty roads, no land in sight,
I see your eyes, I see your face,
we keep running, dancing and screaming,
this moment will never be like this again.
 
We sing like fire, dancing shadows,
howling wind, whistling rats,
a strange song that nobody knows
that burns every doubt forever.
 
Drink my heart empty, everything lived to the fullest,
I've woven your grief into dreams,
let's forget, let's not lose anything else,
before we turn to stone and freeze to death.
 
We set out for new shores,
as the world keeps turning further,
we set out for new shores,
because it's never too late,
we set out for new shores,
the rain whips us in the face,
we set out for new shores,
on the horizon, there is land in sight.
 
Nothing to lose, hunted and hounded,
all our eggs in one basket,1
addicted to freedom, the madness in view,
don't turn around, there's no going back.
 
Drink my heart empty, everything lived to the fullest,
I've woven your grief into dreams,
let's forget, let's not lose anything else,
before we turn to stone and freeze to death.
 
We set out for new shores,
as the world keeps turning further,
we set out for new shores,

we set out for new shores,

on the horizon, there is land in sight.

At The Cliffs

It ate you up, the cold sea,
now you are free and white like snow,
she took you into her bosom,
she holds you tight and will never let you go.
 
Hear how the surf roars and screams,
the fiddle screeches my loneliness
and spits the salty sea in my face,
it foams and hisses, the white spray.
 
There, where the sea kisses the cliffs,
I wait there for you,
there, where the white clouds drift,
I want to stand across from you.
 
I rip my heart in two for you
And dark dreams drift past,
the black birds above me
are like a last greeting from you.
 
There, where the sea kisses the cliffs,
I wait there for you,
there, where the white clouds drift,
I want to stand across from you.
 
There, where the sea kisses the cliffs,
I wait there for you,
there, where the white clouds drift,
I want to stand across from you.
 
There, where the sea kisses the cliffs,
I wait there for you,
there, where the white clouds drift,
I want to stand across from you.

Get In

Get ready,
the wind has turned
and no one really knows
where this journey will go.
Open the window for me
and let the night inside,
extinguish the light one last time,
it will be nothing like it was before.
 
Don't waste any tears,
feel the power within you,
no matter where it takes us,
we live in the here and now.
 
Get in, leave everything behind you,
don't stay here any longer,
get out and you'll see
it'll continue on much further.
 
Jump in, lose the fear of yourself,
soon you'll understand me
Get in, it'll continue on much further.
 
Come on and leave the time
and all the lies behind you,
forget the sadness,
we're getting out of here.
 
Yes, the world has forgotten us,
we've got nothing left to lose,
the pain has eaten us up,
don't let my heart freeze over.
 
Get in, leave everything behind you,
don't stay here any longer,
get out and you'll see
it'll continue on much further.
 
Jump in, lose the fear of yourself,
soon you'll understand me
Get in, it'll continue on much further.
 
Get in, leave everything behind you,
don't stay here any longer,
get out and you'll see
it'll continue on much further.
 
Jump in, lose the fear of yourself,
soon you'll understand me
Get in, it'll continue on much further.

The Labyrinth

At the entrance we stand – arrived
This shall be your start
Chosen and destined
Born into it, I'll leave you alone now
 
Now you're trying to discern your way
Between countless tubes, shafts, and corridors
Wandering around, then you see the light
As much as you run,
you don't reach it
 
In the labyrinth of the senses
In the turmoil of your soul, you are completely alone
In the labyrinth of the senses
Only those who are inspired will themselves be the puzzle's solution
 
Only those who know their goal foresee a way
And the one who devised it holds your fate in their hand
But if it should devise itself, constantly growing, winding forward
It must be infinite and must be you alone for your eternity
 
Someone has turned the wheel of time
And however you hurry, you're always too late
The senses sharpened and plagued by desperation
A confusing game of the senses, you have chased yourself
 
In the labyrinth of the senses
In the turmoil of your soul, you are completely alone
In the labyrinth of the senses
Only those who are inspired will themselves be the puzzle's solution
