Herzeleid - English Lyrics

Do You Want to See the Bed in Flames?

Do you want to see the bed in flames
do you want to perish in skin and hair
you also want to stick the dagger in the sheet
you also want to lick the sword's blood

Rammstein

You see the crosses on the pillow
you mean the innocence may kiss you
you believe it would be hard to kill
but where do all the dead come from

Rammstein

Sex is a battle
love is war

Do you want to see the bed in flames
do you want to perish in skin and hair
you also want to stick the dagger in the sheet
you also want to lick the sword's blood

Rammstein

The Master

Run!

Because the master has sent us
we proclaim the downfall
of the rider of wickedness
feeding his ulcer of envy

The truth is like a thunderstorm
it comes to you, you can hear it
to announce it, is oh so bitter
it comes to you to destroy you

Because the night lays dead
we proclaim the day of judgement
there will be no pity
run, run for your lives

The truth is a choir on the wind
no angle comes to avenge you
these days are your last
it will break you apart like little sticks

It comes to you as corruption

The truth is a choir on the wind
no angle comes to avenge you
these days are your last
it will break you apart like little sticks

White Flesh

You, on the playground
I am ready to kill
and no one here knows of my loneliness
red welts on white skin
I hurt you
and you wail loudly
now you are worried
and I am so far
my black blood
soils your dress

Your white flesh excites me so
I am just a gigolo
your white flesh illuminates me

My black blood and your white dress
I always become hornier from your screams
the worry sweat there on your white forehead
hails in my sick brain

Your white flesh excites me so
I am just a gigolo
my fater was exactly like me
your white flesh illuminates me

Now you are worried and I am so far
my sick existance screams for redemption
your white flesh was my scaffold
in my heaven, there is no God

Your white flesh excites me so
I am just a gigolo
your white flesh illuminates me
my fater was exactly like me
Your white flesh excites me so
I am a very sad gigolo
your white flesh illuminates me

Ashes to Ashes

Warm body
hot cross
false judgement
cold grave

I lay here on the cross
they drive the nails in me
the fire purifies the soul
and a mouthful of ashes are left remaining

Ashes

I will return
in ten days
as your shadow
and will hunt you down

I will secretly rise from the dead
and you will plead for mercy
then I will kneel in your face
and stick my finger in the ashes

Ashes to ashes
and dust to dust

Seaman

Come in my boat
a storm is rising
and it will be night

Where do you want to go
so completely alone
you are drifting away

who holds your hand
when it drags you under

Where do you want to go
the cold sea is so shoreless

Come in my boat
the autumn wind holds the sail taut

Now you stand there by the lantern
with tears on your face
the daylight falls on the side
the autumn wind sweeps the street clear

Now you stand there by the lantern
you have tears on your face
the evening light drives the shadows away
time stands still and it becomes autumn

Come in my boat
the helmsman will be longing

Come in my boat
I was the best seaman

Now you stand there by the lantern
you have tears on your face
you take the fire from the candle
time stands still and it becomes autumn

They speak only of your mother
only the night is so merciless
in the end, I remain alone
time stands still
and I am cold

You Smell so Good

Insanity
is only a narrow bridge
the shores are reason and desire
I chase after you
the sunlight confuses the mind
a blind child creeps forward
because it smells its mother

I will find you

The track is fresh and on the bridge
your sweat drips, your warm blood
I do not see you
I only smell you, I sense you
a predator that screams of hunger
I will track you miles away by your scent

You smell so good
you smell so good
I follow you
you smell so good
I will find you
- so good
I chase you
you smell so good
I will have you soon

Now I have you

I wait until it is dark
than I take hold of your wet skin
do not betray me
oh, don't you see the bridge burning
stop screaming and do not resist
because otherwise it will break apart

You smell so good
you smell so good
I follow you
you smell so good
I will find you
- so good
I chase you
you smell so good
I will have you soon

You smell so good
you smell so good
I follow you
you smell so good
I will find you
- so good
I will touch you
you smell so good
now I have you

You smell so good
you smell so good
I follow you

The Old Pain

Hello, hello

Out of the seed and into the light
an essence pushes me to go
for the same thing and the old sorrow
it catches my tears with laughter
and on the mat rots a young body
where fate directs its puppets
for the same thing and the old sorrow
I finally know here, I will not give it away

Out of the seed and into the nothingness
I know what each end remains
the same thing and the old sorrow
I am slowly drifting to insanity
and on the mat rages the same war
it still always scorches my heart
this same thing and the old sorrow
I know at last

I want to fuck

Never again - the old sorrow
Never again
Never again - the old sorrow

Out of the seed and into the light
an essence pushes me to go
for the same thing and the old sorrow
it catches my tears with laughter
and on the mat rots a young body
where fate is directed by his puppets
for the same thing and the old sorrow
I finally know

Never again - the old sorrow
Never again
Never again - the old sorrow

Marry Me

You see him creeping around the church.
he has been alone for a year
the mourning took all of his senses
he sleeps every night by her stone

There, by the bells sleeps a stone
I alone can read it
and on the fence, the red rooster
it was your heart at that time

The fear spat on this fence
I now go digging every night
to see what is still remaining
of the face that laughed for me

There, by the bells I spend the night
there, between snails, a lonely animal
during the day I run after the night
you escape me for the second time

Marry me

With my hands, I dig deep
to find what I so miss
and under the moon in its most beautiful dress
I have kissed your cold mouth

I take you tenderly by the arm
but your skin tears like paper
and parts fall off of you
you escape me for the second time

There, by the bells I spend the night
there, between snails, a lonely animal
during the day I run after the night
you escape me for the second time

Marry me

So, I take what is still remaining
the night is hot and we are naked
Curses to the rooster that greets the morning
I have hacked off his head

Heartache

Save each other from heartache
for the time that we have together is short

For if you are united for many years
they will seem like minutes to you

Heartache

Save each other from being in pairs

Heartache

Spawntime

He loves his mother
and from the side
he gives the fish to her
it sheds its skin before empty testicles
the old skin falls to the bottom

He loves his sister
and from behind
the fish eats to the mouth
the gills still bloody from sucking
on the large, red eyes

Spawntime
it is spawntime

He loves his dog
oh, God from above
the fish is now kissing with his tongue
he spits dead milk into your face
you don't dare to touch him

Spawntime
fishmilk everywhere
it is spawntime

The mother has been taken by the sea
spawntime
the sisters have no time
spawntime
the dog beckons from the shore
spawntime
the fish needs his loneliness
spawntime

Rammstein

Rammstein
a man is burning
Rammstein
the smell of flesh lies in the air
Rammstein
a child is dying
Rammstein
the sun is shining

Rammstein
a sea of flames
Rammstein
blood is congealing on the asphalt
Rammstein
mothers are screaming
Rammstein
the sun is shining

Rammstein
a mass grave
Rammstein
no escape
Rammstein
birds sing no more
Rammstein
the sun is shining
