Blut Im Auge [English translation]

What I´ve seen on my trip

Seems important to tell

Therefore I´ll try

To take you there on my way.

As I once on dark pathways,

Far from here in Northern Land,

Saw something that left me breathless,

Something I didn´t know until then.

Blood in eyes

On wounded knees

That´s how I sank down,

That´s how I found her.

So I decided to stay there,

What I saw, didn´t let me go,

To discover her secret,

Meant to offer a night for me.

Day to day in grey rain

I was searching for the sight once more,

Was addicted to every magic,

Which I still haven´t figured out.

Blood in eyes

On wounded knees

That´s how I sank down,

That´s how I found her.

Left behind the city gates,

I went up to icy heights,

Stroms, thunder´s whips

Wanted me to go back to the ground.

I looked up the waters´ falls

Behind bushes, birch groves,

The eyes sleepless, the surges grey,

Where might she be left?

Sleepless, restless I search...

Noiseless, whispering she can´t hear me...

Over rocks, mountain and heather,

Thickening, thorns, darkness,

I´m searching for her in the night, the white,

I´m searching for the glistening skylight.
