Metall [English translation]

From the forge - finely alloyed

Without flourish - polished smooth

A work of God prophesied

preciousness from the heat.

It should be no silver, no gold, no ivory

I have sealed the sound in the steel with a expert's hand

I forge a song for you - out of metal

as there is only one

I forge a song for you

so lovely, so pure, I forge your

metal

With the hammer on the ore

Storms of sparks skywards

Chords of steel correctly dosed

Composed on the anvil

It should be no silver, no gold, no ivory
