Hexenjagd [English translation]

I don’t know you, I’ve never seen you

just your words, which are now clearly in front of me

You’ve written them with the intent of calculated corruptibility

out of sensationalism and lies from the media

Do you see my world as objectively as you write

in which nothing but evil is unified for you?

Just because your world view is different and you don’t understand something;

you still don’t have any right

to start a witch hunt. You’ve deliberately chosen all your lies

and superficiality for targeted interests

because you lift yourself up, standing above everything else

Why do you write things in a way so that people fail to see the truth?

Remember how it used to be,

what was your reason to write,

which was once very clear to you;

you honored your talent

and your word had substance

to make this world a better place

instead of destroying it ¹

Remember

Once before, there was a time

filled with injustice

in which one world view emerged

and was commonly placed above everything else

Arbitrary truth didn’t recognize

that a stake was burning ²

and anyone who thought differently

was routinely brought down by character assassination ³

Are you really unaware of what you’re doing

if you hold people in contempt and condemn them with words,

just putting things in the world to set somone up for public scorn ⁴

just in the pursuit of ideologies for your perfect little world?

Have you still not learned anything from the past;

what happens if you detest and accuse people,

select and classify them,

just because they’re different?

You know very well what happens next

because at some point, others will follow your lead

out of discontent and turning a blind eye to their own⁵

faults; if you create propaganda, even if it’s not true, you know very well that this will start a witch hunt.

Remember how it used to be,

what was your reason to write,

which was once very clear to you;

you honored your talent

and your word had substance

to make this world a better place

instead of destroying it

Remember

You don’t know me,

You’ve never seen me

Maybe you’ll read my words if they’re placed in front of you. Just think about it

before you do and write anything,

be completely aware of your responsibility

as a human being

and remember

Once before, there was a time

filled with injustice

in which one world view emerged

and was commonly placed above everything else

Autocratic truth didn’t recognize

that a stake was burning

and anyone who thought differently

was routinely brought down by character assassination

I don’t know you, I’ve never seen you

(remember)

Just your words, which are now in front of you

(remember)

Just your words, which are now in front of me
