From the heart into the hands
A line to the end
From the skull into the legs
A red band unfailingly unites us
Every day and every hour
We are bound forever
It swims in my belly1, in my body, in my face
So the blood in my heart speaks
Blood
Blood
Finely chained to the children
[I/it] must nurture you, [I/it] must bind you
To love you is my dull duty
Whether I want to or not
I carry you around in me
Every drop weighing a ton
Cold fingers at the back of my neck
It clings to my fate2
Blood
Blood
Blood (let it in, let it out, let it in, let it out, let it in)
Blood
Blood (let it in, let it out, let it in, let it out, let it in)
Blood
Surrounds the blade in distress
When the blood in your body clots
When the thread is loose
It takes me into cold arms
Blood
Blood
Blood (let it in, let it out, let it in, let it out, let it in)
Blood
Blood (let it in, let it out, let it in, let it out, let it in)
Blood (let it out)
1. Leib and Körper both mean "body" but Leib can also be more rarely used for the belly2. Geschick generally means "skill, aptitude" etc., but a more formal meaning is "fate, destiny" etc.
