Heiland [English translation]

(Savior, rescue me)

(Savior, savior, rescue me)

(Savior, rescue me)

(Savior, savior, rescue me)

Dreams burn down to ash and dust

They fall from the heavens, and no one catches them

They are defenseless, abandoned by fortune

In the shadows of longing, and there's no going back

Because my heart burns, because my heart burns

I stand here and sink into a sea of flames

Because my heart burns, and your heart doesn't

Oh, savior, rescue me

No sign of hope, more un-being than being

You are my rock,1 and I am weak and small

I'm lost, lose myself in you

The night departs and you are no longer here

But my heart burns, but my heart burns

I stand here and sink into a sea of flames

Because my heart burns, and your heart doesn't

Oh, savior, savior, rescue me

Oh, savior, rescue me

(Savior, savior, rescue me)

(Savior, rescue me)

(Savior, savior, rescue me)

Because my heart burns, because my heart burns

I stand here and sink into a sea of flames

Because my heart burns, and your heart doesn't

Oh, savior, savior, rescue me

Because my heart burns, because my heart burns

I stand here and sink into a sea of flames

Because my heart burns, and your heart doesn't

Oh, savior, savior, rescue me
