Dem Ende entgegen [English translation]

To think in silence

To use your head

To heed it

To trust it

The rest is hung out to dry - so air out already!

The rest is hung out to dry - so air out already!

The glow1 - to the light of the past

Bring me life - so close as to grasp

To feel in hope

To the spirit to destroy

From peace to life - towards the end

Towards the end

An eye on the door

Thus meaning is hidden in the distance

Life is nothing - nothing than death!

Salvation is nothing - nothing than deception!

At first the end, a teardown, a clean break

Guide me every step along the way

Towards the end - so close to life!

Towards the end - so close to life!
