Schwarzes Blut [English translation]

(Black blood)

I carry my heart in my hands,

I carry love under my skin.

I carry the soul in my eyes,

That looks out from behind thin glass.

I don't want to adorn your walls.

There's only one thing that breaks me.

I simply don't want to lose myself.

No, I'm not singing your songs.

I'm still living, still

I'm still giving, still

I keep staggering, forwards, downwards

Black blood flows through my veins.

I carry the truth on the tongue.

I only wear the black that I like.

On my narrow shoulders I carry

The heavy load of the whole world like Atlas.

You're so colourful 1.

You're the light, I'm the darkness.

You positive, I antipole

You're so grey when you're mixed together

I'm still living, still

I'm still giving, still

I keep staggering, forwards, downwards

Black blood flows through my veins

I put my heart in your hands

I carry love on, on your skin

I see the soul in your eyes

That looks out from behind thin glass

I'm still living, still

I'm still giving, still

I keep staggering, forwards, downwards

Black blood flows through my veins

Black blood

Black blood
