Der Himmel brennt English translation
von Wolfgang Petry

The beer in front of me tastes just as bad as I feel
My shirt is sticky with sweat, the air in the room is damp and muggy
You made it, I'm crying for you
You ran away, you can't see it
The sky is burning, the angels are fleeing
We are separated by smoke and fire
I'm sitting here and watching you
And will wait until I burn The sky is burning, the angels are fleeing
And I'm suffocating in black clouds
My mistake was, I thought you would follow me into the fire
But the sky we wanted, the sky is burning
I love you, I scream the words at the wall in front of me
Your picture hangs there, I turn it over, I don't want you here anymore
To your health, you know that I need you
Why are you leaving me here in ashes and smoke?


The sky is burning, the angels are fleeing
And I'm suffocating in black clouds
My mistake was, I believed you would follow me into the fire
But the sky we wanted, the sky is burning
The sky is burning, the angels are fleeing
We are separated by smoke and fire
The sky is burning, the angels are fleeing
And we two have been driven away too
Of everything that was important, nothing is left in the end
Of hope and love
The sky is burning, the angels are fleeing
And I'm suffocating in black clouds
My mistake was, I believed you would follow me into the fire
But the sky we wanted
The sky is burning, the angels are fleeing
And I'm suffocating-
