Zeit ist ein eisernes Tor [English translation]

Time is an ironclad gate

That closes behind you

Since he lost his freedom

He only dreamed about it/her

In a cell alone

Every hope becomes small

Time is an ironclad gate

That closes behind you

Wall of silence

Cold as stone

But love

Can free you

Fear is a dark dungeon

It's hard to free yourself from it

When they let him free today

The sky was like lead, gray as lead

Scars are burnt into the heart

A foreigner in his own country

Fear is a dark dungeon

It's hard to free yourself from it

Scars are burnt into the heart

A foreigner in his own country

Time is an ironclad gate

That closes behind you

But she hears him

Scream without a sound

And her love

Will free him

Time is an ironclad gate

And what waits in front of it

At the moment he left

She suddenly stood before him, close to him

She looked at him without saying a word

Kissed the grief away

Time is an ironclad gate

But she waits in front of it
