Beiße mich [English translation]

Whenever the clock-tower strikes

For the twelfth time

To the cemetery, I must go

I want to be with you

You beautiful, pale creature, you

In a coat red as blood

You wait for me from the grave

And that makes me feel good.

Whenever the clock-tower strikes

For the twelfth time

I feel this urge in me

To be your bride

Your cold and pale arms

Fall round my neck1

And being unable to die for you,

I cry bitter tears of salt.

Bite me, tear me apart

Drag me into the starless night

Suck my blood out2

I feel your power within me.

When the veiled moon has gone

And the dawn breaks

I feel my heart freezing

And fear cries out

Then I must leave you, you my dear child

Because we both aren't quite lifeless yet.

By the time the veiled moon has passed

I am close to tears

I wait for the following night

And I feel strange

Never again do I carry as much blood in me like before

I am completely committed to you, I do not resist3.

Bite me, tear me apart

Drag me into the starless night

Suck my blood out

I feel your power within me.
