Wir leben [English translation]

Skin on skin

Our sweat mixes

Mouth on mouth

I and you

Flesh on flesh

Our blood mixes

Two necrophiliacs covered together in blood

Sweat, blood

I laugh

but my heart doesn't beat

Your heart beats fast

but you don't feel it

The naked nothingness is in your face

The calmness drowns the silence1

We live

We live

I hold you tight

but I don't feel you

You look at me

and don't recognize me

The naked nothingness hits me in the face

The darkness extinguishes the night

We live

We live

Skin on skin

Mouth on mouth

Flesh on flesh

You and I

united for ever

Light, more light

Air, more air

Light, more light

More air, more light, more air

We live

We live

1. "Stille" and "Schweigen" both mean "silence", but I thought it sounded clumsy to use twice
