Falska profeter [English translation]

A night wind blows in

Rattles the windows before the rain falls

I ignite my red lights

They are a substitute for human closeness

And warmth

Do we have a soul, and do our souls have a twin somewhere

A mirror, a crystal ball

That shows a future

Do you believe in the future

You have to know solitude

If you want to understand another human

A feeling

We will all find ourselves somewhere else from

The place we happen to be

Right now

Everyone we know is on the run from something

And the things that scare us we can't choose

Sin, shame, guilt, death

The shortcomings in ourselves

The barred gates slam again

Walls of concrete grow around us

Graffiti and posters, Peace and Love by our sides

Nazism, a few swear words, a little religion

We safeguard our freedom of the press, we love

our freedom of choice

We take the freedom

To honour tolerance, but we point

Our accusing finger

To all who don't belong here

I promise I will be your land

You will be my army

This is my propaganda

My flags you see

We only have each other

This is the only thing I know

So let me be your war

You can be my peace

Let me be in peace

You say that I chose my exile

But I saw it as a mission

A responsibility

And even self chosen solitude changes when

the years go by to another kind of solitude

The best things in my life cannot

be loaned or bought or sold

The best things in my life I have to dare to give

Then for the first time they are deserved

Do I deserve you?

Do you believe that I'm talking about simplified,

mythologised love?

No, no

I'm talking about community, understanding,

solidarity, and friendship

That's how fucking stupid I am

I promise I will be your land

You will be my army

This is my propaganda

My flags you see

We only have each other

This is the only thing I know

So let me be your war

You can be my peace

You know it

And I know it

You know it

And I know it

We are false prophets

I can show you now

I can give it to you

I can show you all of my respect

Can you show me now

Can you give it to me

Can you show me all of your respect?
