Befreit [English translation]

[Chorus 1:]

And thus she freed herself

From the hands of her tormentor

Did she liberate herself

After the beatings and the screams

Did she finally get rid

Of the deadly clutch of loneliness

Did she relieve herself

It is done, yes it is over

Just as soon as the first aches start to fade

You will feel the next strike instantly

And only if you start to skip a heartbeat

Will you make steps that lead back into life

[Chorus 1]

And then, once the wrong ways lastly end

Who will go back and trace their steps?

With no step backwards most will let it slip

Self-reflexion won't lead to success right away

Some will openly become insane

As the world so starkly weighs them down

Some will walk increasingly bent over

Others yet will only zone out further

[Chorus 2]

And only in light of the scope of dreams

That so profoundly touch our lives

Do the slogans of the obstinate

To tried suffering souls begin to fade

[Chorus 2:]

And thus he freed himself

From the hands of his tormentor

Did he liberate himself

After the beatings and the screams

Did he finally get rid

Of the deadly clutch of loneliness

Did he relieve himself

Will understand and see again
