Abschied nehmen [English translation]

Yesterday I heard the news

It almost destroyed me

Because nobody could tell me what happened

None of us were still there

They told me that you were fine

Why didn’t I ever ask you myself

You would have been someone great no doubt

And for some reason I begrudged you that

I didn’t get to say good-bye

I will never forgive myself for that

How could you leave us this way

And now I will never see you again

Forgive me for all the things I said

A lot was on my mind

Forgive me and the others for not being there

Forgive me for losing control

What do we do now without our hero

We miss you and to hell with all this money

You are gone and nothing can replace you

Little brother, you will forever be missed
