Querkraft

All passion spent

We stay deaf to everything

All lost shame

All words of peace have died away

Both on our lips and in our hearts

All passion spent...now.

["Das Gegenteil von Kunst...

Das Gegenteil von Kultur...

Das Gegenteil von Stolz...

Das Gegenteil von Liebe...

...ist die Gleichgültigkeit."] 2

So go on and fail me

Come on and break me for good

'Cause sometimes we feel alive

Why don't you fail me?

Go on and break me once more

Let's combine in the dance of war

Either left to rot in indifference

Or left to drown in despair

You shall turn 'round

And you shall die from this life

And be reborn to mine...now.

So go on and fail me

Come on and break me for good

'Cause sometimes we feel alive

Why don't you fail me?

Go on and break me once more

Let's combine in the dance of war

["Sono l'oblio e il ricordo

sono il pugnale e la lama

sono il midollo

sono nero

sono bianco

sono l'indifferenza

sono il lutto

sono il velo

sono la nebbia

...e io sono la morte."] 1

Go on and fail me

Come on and break me once more

'Cause sometimes we come alive

To be more than uninvolved

And all so cold and cruel

But most of all so ugly and imprecise

Oh, I felt like I was going to dive

Into a cruel sea of lust when

She said: "Saviours, they come and go."

Oh, I felt like I was going to dive

Into a cruel sea of lust when

She said: "Saviours, they come and go."

So why don't you fail me?

Come on and break me for good

'Cause sometimes we feel alive

Why don't you fail me?

Go on and break me once more

Let's combine in the dance of war
