Weichen und Zunder [English translation]

On the street lies a man

Who can no longer move

He fought with great courage

Has paid for it with blood

Has only done what everyone does

Has only defended his brood

Soft and bloody

They still happen

Signs and wonders

Did you not see them coming?

Soft and bloody

They do happen

Signs and wonders

Shine to understand them...

Say, where does this spectacle take place?

In the far country, in the far city?

Will you then do what everyone does?

What ferments for a long time finally becomes anger...

Soft and bloody

They still happen

Signs and wonders

Did you not see them coming?

Soft and bloody

They do happen

Signs and wonders

Shine to understand them...

When the world falls into pieces

Because man behaves like this

Should one not look forward?

The wheel, it will continue to spin
