Lebensbeichte Lyrics in English by In Extremo
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Lebensbeichte by In Extremo from German to English.
Schäume nur, mein wildes Herz
Just rage, my wild heart
In des Zornes Wehen
In the throes of wrath
Bin aus leichtem Stoff gemacht
I'm made of light material
Muss wie Luft vergehen
Must vanish like air
Ohne Schiffer treibt mein Kahn
My boat drifts without a helmsman
Auf des Meeres Spiegel
On the sea's surface
Niemals fesselt mich ein Band
No band ever binds me
Riegelt mich ein Riegel
A bolt bars me
Suchte meinesgleichen
I searched for my kind
Fand nur Sünder ohne Zügel
Found only unbridled sinners
Zeigt der Sinn so wie ich wirklich bin
If meaning shows how I truly am
Lenkt der Sturm mich stets woanders hin
The storm always steers me elsewhere
Trügt der Schein, ich kehre niemals heim
If appearances deceive, I never return home
Am festen Band und bin dann doch allein
By a firm tie, and yet I'm still alone
In der Schenke sink ich einst
One day I'll sink in the tavern
Gern I'm Tode nieder
Gladly down in death
Und I'm Becher spiegelt sich
And in the goblet reflects
Noch mein Antlitz wieder
My face is still reflected
Mit der Jugend toll ich fort
I romp on with youth
Auf des Lasters Wegen
On vice's paths
Engelschцre singen dann
Then choirs of angels sing
Gib mir deinen Segen
Give me your blessing
Diesen Zecher schlag o Herr
Strike this reveler, oh Lord
Seiner Strafe wegen
Because of his punishment
Zeigt der Sinn
If meaning shows
