Phönix [English translation]

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
