Angel-

Who in his lifetime is good on Earth
Will become an angel after death
Looking Heavenward you ask then,
Why can't one see them

Not until the clouds go to sleep
Can one see us in Heaven
We are afraid and alone

God knows I don't want to be an angel

They live behind the sunshine
Separated from us infinitely wide(ly)
They must cling to the stars (by their fingernails)
So that they don't fall from Heaven

Not until the clouds go to sleep
Can one see us in Heaven
We are afraid and alone

God knows I don't want to be an angel

Not until the clouds go to sleep
Can one see us in Heaven
We are afraid and alone

God knows I don't want to be an angel

-Engel

Wer zu Lebzeit gut auf Erden
wird nach dem Tod ein Engel werden
den Blick gen Himmel fragst Du dann
warum man sie nicht sehen kann

Erst wenn die Wolken schlafen gehen
kann man uns am Himmel sehen
wir haben Angst un sind allein

Gott weiß ich will kein Engel sein

Sie leben hinterm Sonnenschein
getrennt von uns unendlich weit
sie müssen sich an Sterne krallen
damit sie nicht von Himmel fallen

Erst wenn die Wolken schlafen gehen
kann man uns am Himmel sehen
wir haben Angst und sind allein

Gott weiß ich will kein Engel sein

Erst wenn die Wolken schlafen gehen
kann man uns am Himmel sehen
wir haben Angst und sind allein

Gott weiß ich will kein Engel sein

Engel - Angel

(english lyrics by Rob Hoare - these words are from the american
version of "Sehnsucht" and NOT a translation)

Live in virtue, no desire
In the grave an angel's choir
You look to heaven and wonder why
No one can see them in the sky

Just as the clouds have gone to sleep
Angels can be seen in heaven's keep
Alone in fear they question why
Goddamn not an angel when I die

Angels live, they never die
Apart from us, behind the sky
They're fading souls who've turned to ice
So ashen white in paradise

Just as the clouds have gone to sleep
Angels can be seen in heaven's keep
Alone in fear they question why
Goddamn not an angel when I die

Goddamn an angel when I die
Heaven must be hell in the sky
