Jetzt Ist Es Still [English translation]

Pressing silence all around me

Never before was the Earth so soundless

Suffocating emptiness far and wide

Is this the end? The end of time?1

No one, no animal, no sign of life,

The world seems like a desert

I look out into the sun, into the light

Icy mist darkens my sight

It is dusky, the day is cold

The air is polluted, the Earth irradiated

The quiet after the storm has covered everything

It was loud...

But now it is silent...

Now it is silent2

Fate is terminated

Humanity passes

The wheel of time is silent

Now it is silent

Fate is terminated

Humanity passes

The wheel of time is silent

From glowing lava comes red smoke

Giant craters created in the fight

are reminiscent of the doomsday

that hunted down and sacrificed all humanity

I look around and feel defeated

Am I the last one of this war?

I recall a mighty bang

Fire and screams everywhere

Then nothing more... complete silence

No trace of survivors

I close my eyes although I don't want to

Then I go to sleep,

and now it is silent...

Now it is silent

Fate is terminated

Humanity passes

The wheel of time is silent

and now it is silent...
