For years we hide in blackness,
We have to sink into oblivion,
This agony of fear absorbs my thinking,
This anguish suffocates my soul.
I saw countless acts of treason,
Once this heart was filled with force and comfort,
But now there's nothing anymore.
The home I knew has crumbled into dust,
I know so many of this ruins.
I watch it burn, my fatherland,
To blood-red skies I pray,
Impatiently I wait, I'm waiting for the end,
As I hail the bombs of my saviours.
As I'm craving for these sirens wailing
To leave this cell, to cross the night,
As they crawl into their bunkers,
As they hide away and shake with fear.
I watch it burn, my fatherland,
To blood-red skies I pray,
Impatiently I wait, I'm waiting for the end,
As I hail the bombs of my saviours.
I dare to raise my eyes and whisper,
I fill my lungs with life again,
Walking empty streets and orphaned quartiers,
A shine like daylight in the light.
