Trümmerkinder [English translation]

Rising from ruins

And facing the end

Just rubble and ash around us

The entire world is on fire, yeah

We are all debris children

And our parents all sinners

Cold wind blows through our house

The father deaf, the mother blind

Do you want to save your children

Then feed them with sleeping pills

That none of your children see

How your world is in rubble and ash

Raised with rats

Deep in the heart of Father’s wrath

And Mother’s pain in every limb

The numb fingers frozen stiff, yeah

We are all debris children

And our parents all sinners

Cold wind blows through our house

The father deaf, the mother blind

Do you want to save your children

Then feed them with sleeping pills

That none of your children see

How your world is in rubble and ash

Come - look in the room

Under the debris

Are the children’s hearts

Come - look in the room

Under the debris

Are the children’s hearts

Thrown into the gutter

White scum, stillborn

We suck on empty breasts

Barely released, already lost

Risen from the dead

We stagger aimlessly

We’re hopeless anyway

We are all debris children

And our parents all sinners

Cold wind blows through our house

The father deaf, the mother blind

Do you want to save your children

Then feed them with sleeping pills

That none of your children see

How your world is in rubble and ash
