Nackt im Wind [English translation]

Just a few degrees of latitude down

A few degrees of longitude, then to the left

Our imagination comes to a limit

There where the most silent screams are

In labyrinths, unimaginable

Lava stream from hell, icy cold

Who knows no mercy, only hits hard

Never hesitates, never spares anybody

Here the sins of our ancestors and

Our languor demand their tribute

"No prisoners!" is the password

Here the currency is flesh and blood

Naked in the wind that hollers and rages

In the hurricane that devours people

Naked in the wind that kills without a plan

Because it knows it will be soon forgotten

Prayers to demons and gods

Apparently they are not interested

That our supper scenery

Hopes for cards, shuffled anew

We throw coins up high and wait

That neither head nor tail shows

So once again nobody is to blame

And everyone can nurse their conscience

Just a few degrees of latitude to the south

And then to the east a child is crying

Before this song here fades out

It dies of hunger, dies naked in the wind

Naked in the wind that hollers and rages

In the hurricane that devours people

Naked in the wind that kills without a plan

Because it knows it will be soon forgotten
