Die Schreie sind verstummt [English translation]

And so it comes to pass

There's no turning back

What's left is silence

Followed by pain

She was to the world

A shining figure

But just for me

She was my beating heart

In my chest

But on this day

And at that place

Pride broke

And thus her heart [broke]

Today - I run

Through the woods

Back to the valley

Today - I run

Through the ravines

Aimless - restless

Today - I run

Through the villages

Her image in me

Today - burn your tears

So I tread before her

Here I am human

And I kiss my longing awake

Here I am strange

And I kiss my longing awake

But much deeper

Deeper than longing

There she's hiding

Her life from the world

Trembling powerless

Her hands outstretched

Stained with blood and

Her body is mutilated

A light came out from her once

And she radiates - and she radiates

So she lies down there

And yet I hear the

Scream - and she screams

Broken and beaten

Attempted by the whole world

A light came out from her once

Today she spits on herself and lies

In her blood

At the wayside in the grave

She awaits death

Wrapped in mud and dishonor

And I hear her scream

How she screams...

One last time I was in the valley

Once again in the ravine

Once again in the crypt

In which she's hiding

She's walling herself in

And shrouds herself

She hardly dares

She hardly dares to look at me

To touch me skin to skin

Afraid I sit up

Afraid I sit up

And I hold the hand

That guides me to the heart

The last kiss was granted to me

The heart followed the soul

The screams fall silent!

The screams fall silent!

The screams fall silent!

The screams fall silent!
