Warum So Tief? [English translation]

Dumb once more - wholly helpless - and ashamed

So I come before her today...

And so I come once more before you

Mother fear and Father pain

No adopted child - your blood flows through my veins

Your blood is my blood too

Just one time with no fear of pain - I believed I could

escape

Run away from you and me

But the more she give me to her

All the more I saw you in me

Why so deep - and why of all times now?

Why before her - why this irony?

Why so hard - and why not easily overcome?

Must I really pay for every encounter

For ever and ever with all my love?

Once time without the feeling of being lost for ever

just once with her - no madness in chains

But even once I cannot deny my love for you

Mother fear and father pain

Why can't I just deny your blood and make my attack on

life?

Tell me mother fear

Tell me father pain

And why not conquered once and all?

Why so horribly lost?

Why before her all over again?
