Zeit [English translation]

Tell me who's hiding

in your skin

Who knows your secret?

I have seen through you.

Tell me what is hidden

so deep in your head

the next plump lie

which drops from your lips

Your destiny fulfilled

it takes its course

The truth is cruel

but it doesn't detain you

Nothing changes

but time changes you

You know it

You sense it

What has ruined you?

Nothing changes

It doesn't look good for you

You know it

You sense it

Who has infected you?

Tell, who's controlling you

Who leads your hand

Which of your lies

robs your mind?

You gloat over your insanity

which eats you away.

Tell me, do you really think

that you are safe from you?

Your destiny fulfilled

it takes its course

The truth is cruel

but it doesn't detain you

Nothing changes

but time changes you

You know it

You sense it

What has ruined you?

Nothing changes

It doesn't look good for you

You know it

You sense it

Who has infected you?

You only turn around yourself

lose yourself further

nothing remains.

From what you once were

there's nothing left.

You don't detain your destiny

It accepts its truth.

Yet you'll see

but (it will be) too late to understand.
