Die Krone der Schöpfung [English translation]

Human has long subverted the earth

with fire, sword and bomb he's monitored it

What do we care about the future? We are absolved in prayer

"Forgive me my greed, for mine is the planet"

We preach love and wage war daily

We don't fight for goals, only for our own victory

We don't say "Please", we just scream "I want"

Half the world hungers, half the world stands still

Nuclear explosion, what does it even mean?

Fire trapped in cement?

We hid the waste in the waters

For what can go wrong?

We don't ask, we take, we live our greed

For after us the floods will come, but we come first.

We call ourselves the crown of creation

the heroes of evolution

the masterpiece of the universe

behaves like the inquisition

We wear the crown of creation

more like a carnival hat

drunk with delusions of grandeur

humanity feels noble and good

and absolute...

We lost conscience in excess

And when reminded, clock up our ears

We live without mercy and cheer to health

Giants if wasteful behavior with never-ending appetites

Creation is so delightful.

From darkness- the first light -the first day

A heavenly tent and earth: land and water

What she wanted, took place.

A seed -a swarm of birds

born out of nothing

Yet humans wanted more

You and I, we were made

because someone took up a path

that was called "Love"

The one chance for everyone

that was left to us.

Maybe we have some more time

to understand society

and humility

are the paths to eternity

We call ourselves the crown of creation

the heroes of evolution

the masterpiece of the universe

behaves like the inquisition

We wear the crown of creation

more like a carnival hat

drunk with delusions of grandeur

humanity feels noble and good

and absolute...

We're robbing our children of the future of their world

Why live in subservience, it bring in too little money.

We sacrifice our forests to the god of steel-cement

And everyone builds their own private Babylon
