Der Himmel brennt [English translation]

The beer in front of me that tastes as lousy as I feel,

My shirt covered in sweat, the air in the room moist and humid,

You did it, I'm crying over you,

You've left, you don't see it

The sky is burning, the angels are fleeing

We're separated by smoke and fire

I sit here and look at you

I'll wait til I burn

The sky is burning, the angels are fleeing

I'm suffocating in black clouds

My mistake was that I believed

That you would follow me into the fire

But the sky that we wanted

The sky is burning

I love you, I scream the words at the wall in front of me

The picture hangs there - I turn it around, I don't want you here anymore

You know I need you for your own good

Why are you leaving me here in ashes and smoke

The sky is burning, the angels are fleeing

And I'm suffocating in black clouds

My mistake was that I believed

That you would follow me into the fire

But the sky that we wanted

The sky is burning

The sky is burning, the angels are fleeing

We're separated by smoke and fire

The sky is burning, the angels are fleeing

And they drove us away

From everything that I need from you

Nothing is left at the end now

Of hope and love

The sky is burning, the angels are fleeing

And I'm suffocating in black clouds

My mistake was that I believed

That you would follow me into the fire

But the sky that we wanted

The sky is burning
