Bester Feind [English translation]

And you stood before the canvas1

You paint your life -- brightly colored

You feel very well

You forget to remember

Nope, it no longer matters2 to you

Must've slipped right off your mind

Though, it is written somewhere

That you should love your enemies

To embrace and entice them

Open up your doors

Come here

And bow before yourself

You enjoy suffering a lot

Run away

From the specters of this world

No one follows you

For your worst enemy is you

And then you take your binoculars

And the world looks enormous

Dreams won't let you go

And you feel at such a disadvantage

You barely have any love for yourself

And you fell through the sieve

Though, it is written somewhere

That you should love your enemies

To embrace and entice them

Open up your doors

Come here

And bow before yourself

You enjoy suffering a lot

Run away

From the specters of this world

No one follows you

For your worst enemy is you

You were the king, whom they loved3

You were the pauper, whom they gave

Come -- try to remember

Then you know that you are loved

You were the king, whom they loved

You were the pauper, whom they gave

Come -- try to remember

Then you know that you are loved

Come here

And bow before yourself

You enjoy suffering a lot

Run away

From the specters of this world

No one follows you

You are your best enemy.

Come here.
