Dein Herz schlägt [English translation]

The declared dead live longer,

the presumed dead live delightfully

The dead are like fly catchers

‘cause they understand what zest for life is

The declared dead love more stringently,

the presumed dead may see

how the living refuse to accept

the rat catcher at all ¹

The declared dead have wings,

the presumed dead live calmly

The declared dead get a good beating

The dead have no compassion

It rises from all the doubts,

it contradicts the course of time,

it will rise out of love

Can you feel it?

Your heart’s beating

The presumed dead are traitors

‘cause they have nothing to lose

The dead are the offenders,

they like to crawl on all fours

The declared dead have trouble,

the presumed dead are so lazy

The dead love quitters,

the dead willingly tell no tales

Your heart’s beating
