Asyl im Paradies [English translation]

Asylum in Paradise

I fell asleep while on my watch.

I’m hanging loose in time.

A storm has driven me out

On the sea of eternity.

Give me asylum here in paradise.

Here nobody can do anything to me.

Give me asylum here in paradise.

Let this moment rest around me.

Out there out lurk your hands

To pull me to the depths.

I sink, I sink, and drown

In your warm mouth.

Give me asylum...

Do you hear them calling? They come to search for me.

You see the fires there on the beach.

Tell them no power on earth

Can get me back to shore.

Give me asylum...
