Schwarz [English translation]

If I ask myself how all of this came to be,

how it took hold of1 your desire

like a flood made of fire-sand,

your heaven2 (was) burned forever

Too fast it climbed your stage

without colour or expiation

Only your curtain you draw together

Black

That's how your friends lost you

And that's how your enemy desires you to be

Perhaps you don't know how life3 works

Start running, I can

I can see it

In what a wonderful way the angels misdemean

I can see it

Does it lay itself down next to you?

(Does) it look deep inside your head?

Does it know how much exactly it needs to turn up?4

Black

Let yourself go where it paints5 you white

Let's go deeper inside you

There is no heaven2 anymore since ages

Start running, I can

I can see it

In what a wonderful way the angels misdemean

I can see it

Your desire is too great

This danger can never go away

Perhaps you know now who sticks by you

Start running, I can (do it)

1. or "how it filled up"2. a. b. or "sky"3. or "living"4. e.g. turn up a volume control5. lit. "makes"
