Stück vom Himmel [English translation]

Why in His name?

We have a name, too.

When will we take responsibility for our dramas?

He's being used far too often.

It's all indefinite, all indefinite

What army is sacred?

You don't believe better than I do!

The Bible isn't meant for seclusion

Planet Earth is our responsibility!

It is friendly, friendly -

We're rather not.

A piece of heaven,

A seat, assigned by God.

A chair in orbit,

We're all in the same boat!

Here is your house,

Here's what counts.

You're canopied

By a terrific world.

Religions are to be spared,

They are made for morals.

There isn't just one noble teaching

No god has thought wiser than the other,

Or has an advantage, has an advantage.

What ideal justifies all means?

Who's gonna stop the fire now?

Legions of crusaders

Furiously came to a deadlock.

It's all indefinte, why indefinite?

Crude time.

A piece of heaven

A seat, assigned by God

A chair in orbit

We're all in the same boat!

Here is your home,

This is your goal.

You are one of a kind,

Playing your own oracle.

There is too much belief

And too little is told

It's the stories,

They unify this world.

Hardships, legends, destinies, life and death,

Happy endings, lust and comfort.

A piece of heaven,

A seat, assigned by God.

There are billions of colors,

And each one is a different type of red.

Here's your home,

This is our time.

We do many things right,

But we don't choose the easy way.

This is my house,

This is my goal.

Whoever proves nothing

Actually proves a damn lot.

There is no foe, there is no victory.

Nothing can spoil anything for anyone,

Nobody has deserved his life.

There's enough for everybody,

There's lots of easy money,

We have plenty,

And we share this world,

We are obliged.

Planet Earth is friendly,

So, why aren't we?

It is friendly,

So why aren't we?
