live in virtue, no desire,
and in the grave an angels choir,
you look to heaven, wonder why,
no one can see them in the sky,
(chorus)
just as the clouds they've gone to sleep,
angels can be seen in heaven's keep,
alone in fear they question why,
god damn not an angel when I die.
angels live they never die,
apart from us beyond the sky,
fading souls who've turned to ice,
so ashen-white in paradise.
(chorus)
just as the clouds have gone to sleep,
angels can be seen in heaven's keep,
alone in fear they question why,
god damn not an angel when I die. (3x)
Erst wenn die Wolken schlafengehn
kann man uns am Himmel sehn
wir haben Angst und sind allein
Gott weiss ich will kein Engel sein
god damn not an angel when I die (4x)
