Abgrund [English translation]

Dull and empty,

you go along,

the narrow ridge.

You stop

you keep going.

The herd impulse is too great.

Do you still believe in that

which people make you believe?

You have learned to parry.

(What for? Tell me)

Do really not know

what you have known?

You have learned to march.

You gladly let yourself be controlled.

We're on the verge,

But let us proceed.

It does't go forward and doesn't go back.

We are at the verge,

But let us proceed.

We go ahead and you'll come with us.

You stubbornly follow

only one way.

You follow obediently.

You do not know

who walks behind you.

Drifting alone among the masses.

Do you still believe in that

which people make you believe?

You have learned to parry.

(What for? Tell me)

Do you remember how many times

have you given up?

Without ever trying.

Now you can only lose.

Jump!

We're on the verge.

But we must move on.

Get out of the way

let us pass!

We'll jump ourselves free.
