16 years old when I went to the war
To fight for a land fit for heroes
God on my side and a gun in my hand
Chasing my days down to zero
And I marched and I fought and I bled and I died,
And I never did get any older,
But I knew at the time that a year in the line

Der Tag wird gleich am Ende sein,
Dunkelheit bricht schon herein.
Wirst Du Dich fürchten? Du denkst nein,
Doch auch diese Nacht bist Du allein.
Gehst früh zu Bett - das ist brav,
Findest auch ganz schnell den Schlaf,
Doch dann hörst Du die Dielen knacken,
Wach auf! Di

Absinth, Absinth
Absinth steigt Euch zu Kopfe geschwind
Es springt und lacht dort froh herum
Und ihr tut dies bald ebenso
Doch nun im Sanatorium

Though you tried to be really nice
The salesman gives you no advice
He doesn't give you any information
He definetely needs a long vacation.

You didn't come here to have a fight
Especially with someone whose not that bright
Being treated like this isn't funny
Go som

I'd get real sticky, but it gets too tricky
That hair looks really big, but it must be a wig
She wanted to kiss him to death, but he had bad breath
His wallet is really thick, but…what a prick

It's so hard to believe, but she was so naive
Yeah I do like hash, but I never ha

Giving a swish with your arse in the air
Don't you know what they're saying?
Charlotte you're so refined
When you take all the love that they're giving
Sticking with every man that you find
Don't you know what they're after?
Charlotte you've got your legs in the air

Great experiences we've had a few
I'll never forget, but - where are you?
My life is long and I am glad
But you died too soon that makes me sad

Before you had to go I didn't fear a deadly foe
Now I'm chilled with fright, scared to be alone at night

When your life ende

This is my new puppet isn't she nice
No new invention but today she's my prize
Acting, singing, dancing just like the old one
They last about five months they then are done

She gives you what you need
But it's in your head
I decide when she shines
I decide when she'

A wicked fellow in father´s room
His voice with darkness announcing doom.
The boy behind the curtain easy to find
Losing his father, his sight and his mind.

As a man with no fear, for a woman he cares
But the heaviest footsteps head up the stairs.
The fellow so dreadful

Klingt das erste Werk nur schaurig
Es Dir nicht die Freude nimmt
Niemand ist darüber traurig
Ein Schlimmeres folgt ganz bestimmt

Coppelius, Coppelius…hilft!

Steht das Examen direkt bevor
Und Du weißt Dir fehlt das Genie
Uns're Musik nimmt Dir die Angst davor

Unter diesem Stein, der so scheint
Als wär er nur ein Klumpen Dreck
Hat ein Zwerg nach der Legende
Einen großen Schatz versteckt
Ein Amulett, das die Macht gibt
In die Herzen so sehen
Die Gedanken und die Wünsche
Eines Jeden zu verstehen

Ich zog los und bekam au

Der Mann, der da so krumm läuft
Ist nicht von schöner Statur
Hässlicher Kopf, kein Hals zu sehen
Schlecht bedacht von Mutter Natur

Sein Gesicht ist ganz zerfurcht
Die schlaffe Haut ist fleckig
Um seine gelben Zähne
Zu zeigen, lacht er dreckig

Ganz schwer nur z

Der Lärche Lieder tönen
So voller Freud und Lust
Als wollten Sie verhöhnen
Den Schmerz in meiner Brust
Sie kann gar fröhlich singen
Weil ihr das Leben lacht
Mir wird es nie gelingen
Nach einer solchen Nacht.

Es tönten Orgelklänge
Mit feierlichem Laut
Da

As I get up and take a walk
Somebody starts to talk
I can hear people already dead
Didn't understand what they said
In front of me the hangman glares
Walking up the gallows' stairs
An endless fall soon I'll be dead
In panic I awake in a damp bed

What can a dream

You thought you just had a bit
But suddenly you just got a hit
With feelings getting out of control
A temperature of burning coal

You feel sick - sick - sick and sicker
And you think your tounge is thicker
Your champagne glas breaks, look at the mess
You swear next

Whispering and gossip while you entered the scene
All eyes were on you like on a figurine
You can't get rid of these paranoic fears
Wicked rumors are ringing in your ears
A carriage should have taken you home
Instead you got here
With all your medal's chrome

You nev

Eine Fee, wie Euch, traf ich
Bisher nicht mal im Traum
Etwas Edleres findet man
In dieser Welt wohl kaum

Meine Liebe zu gestehen
Gern würd' ich's wagen
Allein die Lippen mir
Den Dienst versagen

Es drängt mich so sehr
Endlich zu Euch zu gehen
Doch schwa

Ein Fetzen Stoff um die Schultern
Im tiefsten Winter so allein
Zieh ich von Stadt zu Stadt
Flehe um Gnade: ein Stückchen Brot
Ein Schlückchen Wein, ein Kästchen Gold
Um den Palast
Mich packt die Gier

Gib alles her! Gib her!
Gib alles her! Noch mehr!
Gib alle

We come from a time so different from this
Sometimes your era can be a bliss
Back then to hear the music that we play
Was not that easy as it is today

People had to travel some hundred miles away
But was it really worth the price they had to pay
Without amps we were not

Yes I could relieve my coachman
Get rid of my servants as fast as I can
Yes I could sell my beloved hat
My coat, my shoes, I can do that
Yes I could crawl before the master
Do as he says work much faster
Yes I could ask him for a loan
Watch him smiling from his throne
