Barrikaden von Eden [English translation]

I'm putting the pen to my own cells

As I can't reach nobody else

And I won't be divorcing myself

Now that I know me so well

My anger is steeped and soaked

My love, it has lasted out

Alloted my world, my earth

For a kingdom's worth

In my kingdom's reign

No king comes to gain

Becoming king is plain

Kings are crowned to wane1

I was born a son

Lost my father once2

I was put in chains

But I fled the reins3

And in deepest night

I came to my sight

Frozen to the core

Couldn't feel no more

Now I'm standing here, my full faculties able to wield

What did you make of me?

I'm a soldier on a spiritual field

But what am I to do with my unseen wounds never sealed?

This is the night we will be storming these Barricades

The Barricades of Eden
