Sie verdienen einen besonderen Schutz [English translation]

What is the use of a child?

To break it, to fuck it, to beat it and baptize it

What is the abuse of a child?

To break it, to fuck it, to beat it and baptize it

[Chorus 1:]

They merit a special protection1

For your sense of truth is beating in their chest

They merit a special protection

Do you not see that their suffering stains and defiles us

They merit a special protection

Through them alone we are privy to our own infancy

They merit a special protection

Let us speak about abuse, let us speak about use

It has never been elected Ugliest Word of the Year2

"Child Abuse" - A disgrace it has been and still is

In the Land of Poets and Philosophers3it occurred

Language became brutalized like the people and I saw it

In its full extent it's getting painful and grave

What kind of people are willing to sell off their own speech?

Language becomes empty, we need pictorials instead4

As people don't understand their own words anymore

[Chorus 2:]

She deserves a special protection5

For you as well have used her in your childhood days

She deserves a special protection

Do you not see that her suffering stains and defiles us

She deserves a special protection

Through her alone we are privy to our own infancy

She deserves a special protection

Let us speak about abuse, let us speak about use

Children could much rather use us

To give them advice, call them up, buy them clothes

I mean, where is the instruction on "How to Use a Child"?

Sure, there's children being used up all around the globe

But to see the German language fuddling in that as well

Is just sad and sorry or abysmally evil

It's time to detach from this usage of words

I'll punch a nail through your loopholes of language trespasses

[Chorus 1]

Sometimes a text becomes art, poem or judgement

Believe me, I don't try to audit that

Sometimes I write and truth hits me straight in the face

Doesn't spare me and shortens the grace period

Until the opinion of the masses breaks down on me, thrashes in on me

They don't love me, I don't love them - who cares...

Because who will be the one to tell our children about all the fabrications

About satanic verses with sugar coatings,

Wicked rhymes, machinations? - Truth is light and shadow

Frightening like rats crawling, closing in on you

Ready to shorten your lifespan

But this truth will lead us to the light

It deserves a special protection

And the children will lead us to the light

They merit a special protection

Words of wisdom will lead us to the light

They merit a special protection

And love will lead us to the light

It deserves a special protection

And our language will lead us to the light

It deserves a special protection

Words of wisdom will lead us to the light

They merit a special protection

These children will lead us to the light

They merit a special protection

And love will lead us to the light

It deserves a special protection
