Die Geister die ich rief [English translation]

My fate was a blank sheet

Paper can be so patient

I've had enough of this waiting,

For weeks could remember nothing more.

I stared* in the dark of my room

After hours I finally fell asleep

They came from the bottom of my dream

And crawled into my heart

Suddenly they were in my mind

But they had a price

Do you not see the ghosts I've called?

Came in the night when I was asleep.

Here in the dark far too big.

The ghosts I've called won't let me go.

I was offered a trade before,

I reluctantly agreed.

Even when I lost my mind

I wanted to be known.

For that they gave me this melody

But they had a price.

Do you not see the ghosts I've called?

Came in the night when I was asleep.

Here in the dark far too big.

The ghosts I've called won't let me go

More new gushes they bring in

Thousand black rivers crash around me

Listen to me, oh master, my need is great

The ghosts I've called, I won't go back

Do you not see the ghosts I've called?

Came in the night when I was asleep.

Here in the dark far too big.

The ghosts I've called won't let me go

The ghosts I've called won't let me go
