Im Ascheregen [English translation]

This isn't a goodbye, because I was never welcome,

I want to up and leave and never come back.

No farewell, I don't want to know you,

The city must burn (burn, burn, burn).

And from the beginning again, foot on the gas, ah, in a good year,

Immediately away, carefree, driving without much focus, into the future.

Away from living without any real risks,

Every night: sleeping, just practicing for the coffin,

I throw a match in the air, onto the remains of my life,

And only look back to see your buildings burn, in the ash rain,

Look at how plans have crumbled.

Before we slowly burn out, I'd rather go out with a bang, ah!

One third heating oil, two thirds petrol,

Eyes and hearts are dynamite.

One third heating oil, two thirds petrol,

I'm tired with this plan and this goal.

I'm setting off, I'm out,

Turn the radio up loud, drive up the hill and,

Let it burn!

Let it burn!

Let it burn!

I'm setting off, I'm out,

Turn the radio up loud, drive up the hill and,

Let it burn!

Let it burn!

Let it burn!

Again the holy water is running low for the people of the nay-saying town.

Again the preacher is just talking on and on and we're doomed,

The waiting's over in vain for that day that'll never come.

I'm in the car, away and starting over.

No step back, I'm not taking anything from here with me,

Look into the abyss for too long and it'll look back. The heat gets to you.

I'd rather a new beginning than whatever age promises.

See you never and thanks for nothing, thanks for nothing.

I'm setting off, I'm out,

Turn the radio up loud, drive up the hill and,

Let it burn!

Let it burn!

Let it burn!

I'm setting off, I'm out,

Turn the radio up loud, drive up the hill and,

Let it burn!

Let it burn!

Let it burn!

This isn't a goodbye, because I was never welcome,

I want to up and leave and never come back.

No farewell, I don't want to know you,

The city must burn (burn, burn, burn).

This isn't a goodbye, because I was never welcome,

I want to up and leave and never come back.

No farewell, I don't want to know you,

The city must burn (burn, burn, burn).
