I lied for you
Cheated the world for you
I lived the dream
that's ending now
I was on top for you
I hit the ground for you
I lost my grip
but I swore to myself
Hell must wait
It's not time for me to leave yet
Despite all my deeds, Hell must wait
It's still not time for me to leave
I lied for you
I bent myself for you
I felt the fear
I led myself into nothingness
I'd have died for you
as if there's no tomorrow for me
I lost time
but I swore to myself
Hell must wait
It's not time for me to leave yet
Despite all my deeds, Hell must wait
It's still not time for me to leave
'Cause after all that happened, I'm still here
There's still so much left for me to do
No matter what comes, I'll take it all
Whatever happens, I'll never give up!
Hell must wait
It's not time for me to leave yet
Despite all my deeds, Hell must wait
It's still not time for me to leave
Hell must wait
It's not time for me to leave yet
Despite all my deeds, Hell must wait
It's still not time for me to leave

SONG MEANING

“Die Hölle Muss Warten” plunges us into a dramatic confession booth, where the singer ticks off everything he has sacrificed for another person: lies told, boundaries broken, fears faced, even life itself nearly lost. The verses feel like a high-stakes diary entry, revealing how far someone can bend and break in the name of devotion. Each line turns up the intensity, painting a picture of love that is equal parts loyalty and self-destruction.

Yet the pounding chorus slams the brakes on this downward spiral. With the rallying cry “Die Hölle muss warten” (Hell has to wait), the narrator refuses to accept doom as his destination. Despite every mistake, he draws a bold line in the sand: it is not his time to go. Instead of sinking into guilt or regret, he channels raw determination, vowing to keep fighting, keep living, and never give up. The song ultimately transforms from a tale of sacrifice into a fist-pumping anthem of survival—proof that even when we flirt with our own destruction, we can still choose resilience and postpone our personal hell.
