Halt Mich Fest [English translation]

We’re splitting the atom and draw energy from it

We create a clone of every life form

Perfect descendants are born

Thanks to the manipulation of genes

Tall and handsome/pretty and well-shaped

Perfectly refined and standardized

Hold me tightly, as tightly as you can!

When I open my eyes, I get afraid!

Afraid of the megalomania, of the spirit of our age!

Afraid of us overestimating our competence.

Garbage – we dump it at sea

Old bombs just afterwards

And whatever else we don’t want

We bury it in slopes

All we strive for, our purpose

Is maximal pure profits

‘cause everything just resolves around money,

No respect for this world.

Humans are creatures endowed with reason,

That, you can read in many books.

But what these writings teach,

is miles away from truth.
