Es kommt zurück [English translation]

He can still remember it exactly

A dark haze lies over him

For so long he was one of the winners

He didn't know his luck was just borrowed

It comes back

Someday it'll catch up with you

Someday it'll come back

It creeps up softly from behind

It comes back

Someday it'll catch up with you

Someday it'll hit back

And you alone are to blame for it

Ideal world, that was his game

Then he likely miscalculated

He watched as the house of cards collapsed

But everything is allowed as long as you don't lose yourself

Because of his children he can't explain it to anyone

And this thought tormented him for so long

It was like a virus, it simply wouldn't go

If he talks to her about it, he won't ever see her/them1 again

It comes back

Someday it'll catch up with you

Someday it'll come back

It creeps up softly from behind

It comes back

Someday it'll catch up with you

Someday it'll hit back

And you alone are to blame for it

You can try to defend yourself

But your mistakes weigh too heavily, weigh too heavily

It comes back

Someday it'll catch up with you

Someday it'll come back

It creeps up softly from behind

It comes back

Someday it'll catch up with you

Someday it'll hit back

And you alone are to blame for it

1. It's unclear whether the second "sie" refers her to the "her" in this sentence or the children from before.
