Die Flut [English translation]

When I can't get any feeling of rest,

My dark heart drowns in bitterness,

I'm only waiting for the next day

That awakens me.

When darkness obscures the clear view,

No sense calms a craving any more,

This is when I recall

The one dream,

That will never be fulfilled.

And you cry into the night,

And you plead for a miracle,

For a better world to live in,

But there will never be another one.

When does the flood come

Over me?

When does the flood come

That touches me?

When does the flood come

That takes me away with it,

To another great life,

Somewhere?

Time flies by so fast,

Every trace of me flies away like dust,

Carried endlessly far away

By an invisible hand.

Isn't there somewhere in the cold sky

Also a star that dies just for me?

A dull glow,

Like a fire in the night,

That never fades.

And you look up in the sky,

Curse at the stubborn course of time,

Create a world of betrayal and illusion for yourself,

But there will never be another one.

When does the flood come

Over me?

When does the flood come

That touches me?

When does the flood come

That takes me away with it,

To another great life,

Somewhere?

When does the flood come

Over me?

When does the flood come

That touches me?

When does the flood come

That takes me away with it,

To another great life,

Somewhere?

And you shout out for the whole world to hear,

That you don't like it anymore.

You want to experience a better one,

But there will never be another one.

When does the flood come

Over me?

When does the flood come

That touches me?

When does the flood come

That takes me away with it,

To another great life,

Somewhere?

When does the flood come

Over me?

When does the flood come

That touches me?

When does the flood come

That takes me away with it,

To another great life,

Somewhere?
