Heute war Gott nicht hier [English translation]

Intro

While you sleep

We gather with thousands of men

While you dream, we come to the gates

While you laugh peacefully, we fight

While you are happy to be in your native land

You give away authority over our flesh

In order to be lord in a foreign land

For that, we fight and murder

Refrain

Today today today

Today God was not here

Verse 1

When the Seat of Peter mixes poison

And meets with intrigue and fornication

Calling earthly goods its own

The pyre burns into heaven

Incest occurs on holy ground

Lingering on ostentatious strongholds

Enemies disposed of without scruples

And all the while God's word is preached

Then I say to you...

Refrain

Today God was not here

Today today today

Today God was not here

Verse 2

When bodies float above the ground

And animals lift themselves above humans

In your skull, dull lightening hits

Fallen angels carry your gravestone

When God's women go to hell

To reveal themselves to princes

God's men hand head first on the cross

And with their blood burst open the ground

Then I say to you...

[Refrain]

Today God was not here

Choir

The Lord will slay the wicked vengefuly

His hands will drowse the desert in blood
