Mauern aus Angst [English translation]

I can hear you breathing quietly.

I feel the warmth of your skin.

Even though I've just met you,

I'm already so comfortable with you.

I fumble shyly for your hand,

and you spin around to me,

lay your head on my arm,

though I'm not with you.

[Refrain]:

Behind walls of fear,

a fortress of rage,

I imprison myself,

hide myself well.

I've put myself by you;

that's why I'm now imprisoned

behind walls of fear,

alone with myself.

I lie awake, spin myself in a circle,

and every meaning seeks meaning.

The questions ask again and again

why I'm so restless.

Thoughts think ever faster;

the mind doesn't understand me.

The soul feels only darkness,

and my heart craves light.

[Refrain]

No worlds separate us,

no war and no religion.

Old scars separate us,

made of fear and frustration.

No matter what you've experienced,

or what dreads you've overcome,

the strongest walls of all come between us:

the walls of our own fear.

[Refrain]

These walls of fear -

I enter within them,

demolish them,

smash them to pieces.

No walls of fear

will rob me of my guts.

Fear has been conquered,

because the ending will be good.

And the ending will be good.

Everything will be good.
