Meer aus Tränen English translation
von Versengold

In the darkness of the depths
Sinking in the cold
Instead of dying of our thirst for freedom
Drowning in hope

And in the storm of indignation
A breeze of sympathy
Neptune's domain, the sacrificial bowl
Of our self-importance

I don't want to know, yet I know it precisely
60 inches, 200 souls, 10 seconds on the daily news

Far across the sea of tears
Where the path of freedom lies
Where the fear of giving a hand
Weighs heavier than dignity


Far across the sea of tears
Where the winds of hope blow
Where our dreams become flotsam (floating debris)
And go down with us
And go down with us
And go down with us

By the whims of fate
Born into affluence
And from good conscience
Your conscience lost

Surrender to idleness
Don't ruin your day
Your plate is far too full
To look beyond the end of your nose

I don't want to know, yet I know it precisely.
80 inches, 200 souls, 10 seconds on the daily news

Far across the sea of tears
Where the path of freedom lies
Where the fear of giving a hand
Weighs heavier than dignity

Far across the sea of tears
Where the winds of hope blow
Where our dreams become flotsam
And go down with us


Come, we are going to the beach
And bringing out the swim wear
Building castles in the sand
Thoughtless and narcissistic

And if you also can't take any more
Please finish your plate
So that tomorrow at least
There will be beautiful weather
There will be beautiful weather

Far across the sea of tears
Where the path of freedom lies
Where the fear of giving a hand
Weighs heavier than dignity

Far across the sea of tears
Where the winds of hope blow
Where our dreams become flotsam
And go down with us
And go down with us
