Stimmen [English translation]

You can, you want to

That you can, you can not

You must

Eventually, as they were there

Bright like hammer blows

Children's voices I heard

Did not know where

Others came later in more detail

A voice, old and sluggish

Was soon seated behind my eyes

And there were always more

I plugged my ears

Soon I heard nothing more

But in my mind the words

Came from deep inside

Never do these voices silence

Never it is silent in me

When I sleep, when I wake,

When I want to speak by myself

I hear only them

I was always on the run

In me the spirits

I dove into oblivion

Away in intoxication and sleep

There I found only new voices

They sang screeching songs at me

But even louder shouted a demon

I met there in the abyss

I plugged my ears

Soon I heard nothing more

But in my mind the words

Came from deep inside

Never do these voices silence

Never it is silent in me

When I sleep, when I wake,

When I want to speak by myself

I hear only them

In the choir in my heart

Must be a voice

That belongs to me

alone

So I must shout louder

Never do these voices silence

Never it is silent in me

When I sleep, when I wake,

When I want to speak by myself

I hear only them

I hear only them
