When everything turns out
To be the opposite one believed
And the night unyielding, rapaciously
Consumes your last dream
When one can no longer read
The book of one's own life
The goal of one's own striving
Comes to an end
I've had everything – I've lost everything
But in this hour
I will be reborn
Like the Phoenix from the ashes
I will arise
And what appeared to me out of reach
See before my eyes
When each of my actions
Only teaches me pain
And every happiness within grasp
Only feeds despair
When one cannot recognize oneself
In the mirror any more
Then one burns down the old life
And starts from the beginning again
I've had everything – I've lost everything
But in this hour
I will be reborn
Like the Phoenix from the ashes
I will arise
And what appeared to me out of reach
See before my eyes
Like the Phoenix from the ashes
I will be more than I was before
And reach for the stars
That before I did not see
