Treibsand [English translation]

Just a brief moment

until my senses fade

Around my neck a rough rope

that has broken it1

No breath of air

You stand alone

Depravity

can be punishable

My body hangs

soulless already

And beneath you

a sea of tears

[Refrain:]

Quicksand

And your light dies down in the

Quicksand

and you struggle only at half power

Quicksand

And you tied you to my side

Quicksand

The eyes hot, the heart so cold

The body cool

The tears warm

Oh, would I hold you

in my arms

The call of my soul

it tears at you

From the dark of night

you drift to me

[Refrain]

The gloominess

you like it much

So you are drifting

into my world

In good times as in bad

Til death unites us

Quicksand

and you succumb to the force in the

Quicksand

has scorched the lust for living

Quicksand

and you tied to my side

Quicksand

has demanded life from you
