Die Flut [English translation]

When i do not feel calm in me,

bitterness surrounds my dark heart,

i'm just waiting for the next day,

that awakens me.

When gloominess shrouds the clear view,

no purpose appeases a longing,

i call to mind

the dream

which never will be fulfilled.

And you cry into the night,

and you plead for a power that works wonders,

for a better world to live in,

but there never will be an other one.

When will the flood come

over me?

When will the flood come

that touches me?

When will the flood come

that takes me away with it,

to another great existence,

somewhere else.

All the time passes by so fast,

every trace of me flies away like dust,

driven endlessly far

through invisible hand.

Isn't somewhere on the cold firmament

the star that burns just for me?

A dull refulgence

like a fire in the night

which never decays.

And you look up to the sky,

curses the stubborn course of time,

create a world of fraud and speciousness,

but there never will be an other one.

When will the flood come

over me?

When will the flood come

that touches me?

When will the flood come

that takes me away with it,

to another great existence,

somewhere else.

And you call into the world

that it doesn't pleases you anymore,

you want a better world to live in,

but there never will be an other one.

When will the flood come

over me?

When will the flood come

that touches me?

When will the flood come

that takes me away with it,

to another great existence,

somewhere else.

When will the flood come

over me?

When will the flood come

that touches me?

When will the flood come

that takes me away with it,

to another great existence,

somewhere else.
