Freisprengen [English translation]

the air becomes thinner and thinner

I`m breathing to much dirt

(I) can barely remember anymore

What such a morsel of freedom tastes like

My life below ground

No clear view

Every sunbeam choked in the dust

I don`t want to bear it anymore

(I) must come into the daylight

(I) put the fuse into the fire

I`m blowing my way up to freedom*

My heart becomes light

I`m blowing everything free, pressure escapes

(I) simply want to be myself once

so I can shine again.

Even when everyone thinks to know

what I want and have or am able to do

I don`t make any compromises

(I) call the tune** all by myself

No live below ground

The gold gets layed bare

I cleave my way out of here

I`m writing it on my flag***:

first light of dawn

New life after the fire

I`m blowing my way up to freedom

My heart becomes light

I`m blowing everything free, pressure escapes

(I) simply want to be myself once

so I can shine again.

When finally the scales fall from the eyes

the pupils still dilated

Because they have to adjust to the light

after half an eternity.

finally freedom with a loud bang

yeah, flushes the ears, the breast, the mind

my needs are unstoppable

new born, first wail****.

I`m blowing my way up to freedom

My heart becomes light

I`m blowing everything free, pressure escapes

(I) simply want to be myself once

so I can shine again.
