The world is at your feet, in your imagination.
You don't walk over corpses, you dance over them.
And if people play cat and mouse, you are the leopard.
If the world shines in bright colors, you paint everything black.
If everyone loves their neighbour, you only love yourself.
And when the lights go out, you still dance through the night.
The earth revolves backwards, just as you want.
And that's why I want to be with you, because you don't pretend.
And because you are you
I'll cut out my heart for you so that it will beat in you for me.
Because you are you, I will
survive. In the end it's just you and me.
No matter how hot the sun is when the supernova breaks.
Because you are you, fate casts shadows
'Cause you are my white light, my white light.
Everyone pulls themselves at the belt1, you hang them with it.
No ashes fall on your head, only pure gold.
Patience is not a virtue, there is no such thing for you.
And that's why I want to be with you, forever you and me.
And because you are you
I'll cut out my heart for you so that it will beat in you for me.
Because you are you, I will
survive. In the end it's just you and me.
No matter how hot the sun is when the supernova breaks.
Because you are you, fate casts shadows
'Cause you are my white light, my white light.
You, the thorn in the eye, they despise you.
The Absolute, Exorcism, every act a stab.
You wicked Judas, your lips speak hate.
You are their undoing, bloodless, pale as death.
No matter how hot the sun is when the supernova breaks.
And because you are you
I'll cut out my heart for you so that it will beat in you for me.
Because you are you, I will
survive. In the end it's just you and me.
No matter how hot the sun is when the supernova breaks.
Because you are you, fate casts shadows
'Cause you are my white light, my white light.
1. The German metaphor means "to pull themselves together", but here it wouldn't make sense in the following.
