Im Ascheregen [English translation]

This is not a goodbye, because I was never welcome

Want to be up and away and never come back

No ""farewell"; don't want to know any of you

The city must burn (burn, burn, burn)

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

Gone instantly, worry-free, driving without focus into the future

Away from only ever living without any true risk

Every night: sleep is just practice for a coffin

Throw a match into the air, on the rest of my life

and only look back in order to see your buildings burning

in the ash-rain

Just watch how all the plans disintegrate

Before we slowly burn out, better to go with a bang,

ah!

One-third fuel, two-thirds gas

Eyes and hearts are dynamite

One-third fuel, two-thirds gas

Tired with the plan and the goal

I'm heading off, I'm out

Turn the radio up, drive up the hill and

Let it die out

Let it die out

Let it die out

I'm heading off, I'm out

Turn the radio up, drive up the hill and

Let it die out

Let it die out

Let it die out

Again the holy water is running out for the citizens of the Nay-saying city

Again the preacher just preaches forever and we're all doomed to fail

Waiting in vain for the day that never comes is over

I'm in the car, gone and starting from the beginning

No step back, take nothing from here along

Look too long into the abyss and it looks back; heat presses

Rather start over anew, than what the old (one) promises

Never 'see you later'*, and thanks for nothing, thanks for nothing

One-third fuel, two-thirds gas

Eyes and hearts are dynamite

One-third fuel, two-thirds gas

Tired with the plan and the goal

I'm heading off, I'm out

Turn the radio up, drive up the hill and

Let it die out

Let it die out

Let it die out

I'm heading off, I'm out

Turn the radio up, drive up the hill and

Dance in the ash-rain

Dance in the ash-rain

Dance in the ash-rain

This is no farewell, because I was never welcome

Want to be up and away and never come back

No "live well"/goodbye, don't want to know you

The city must burn (burn, burn, burn)
