Heldmaschine [English translation]

Barbwire-gob1, so you're called

You don't have the guts and you don't fight back

They want to see tears

Heida! Heida!

Barbwire-gob, at full tilt

Blows year for year, you want to flee

You mount your black steed

Ride homewards to your castle

Will you go with me, may I be with you?

I will be the knight

Will you stand by me, don't leave me alone

And you may be the victim

Will you go with me, may I be with you?

In the castle in candlelight

Will you stand by me, don't leave me alone

This world will be mine

Barbwire-gob - reality

He doesn't like what's spotting him

but he puts up a brave front

Plugs himself into the hero-machine at home

Will you go with me, may I be with you?

I will be the knight

Will you stand by me, don't leave me alone

And you may be the victim

Will you go with me, may I be with you?

In the castle in candlelight

Will you stand by me, don't leave me alone

This world will be mine

The sky is clear, the eyes wide

So he lost space and time

The lance firmly in the knight's hand

And nobody ever knew him

So he spends night after night

brought the dragon's head home from the fight

The maidservants lying at his feet

struggled for his collar

Ever he mounted his black steed

And always he went to war

Thus he ranked highest

The hero-machine devoured him

Will you go with me, may I be with you?

I will be the knight

Will you stand by me, don't leave me alone

And you may be the victim

Will you go with me, may I be with you?

In the castle in candlelight

Will you stand by me, don't leave me alone

This world will be mine

Will you go with me, may I be with you?

I will be the knight

Will you stand by me, don't leave me alone

And you may be the victim

Will you go with me, may I be with you?

In the castle in candlelight

Will you stand by me, don't leave me alone

This world will be mine
