Das Land der Elefanten [English translation]

Everyone know it's hot

In the land of the elephants.

Black hand, yellow sand

And the call of the unknown

Silently the procession of giants

drags through the sultry jungle night.

At night you hear the drums droning

But you'll never understand

What the eyes of an elephant's see.

You can hear the beat of voodoo* drums,

But you'll never understand

What the eyes of an elephant's see.

Europe, USA, Africa, three planets

Lion hunt, microchips, evil ghosts and rockets.

Like an arrow the voice of the giants

whizzes through the sultry jungle night.

At night you hear the drums droning

But you'll never understand

What the eyes of an elephant's see.

You can hear the beat of voodoo* drums,

But you'll never understand

What the eyes of an elephant's see.
