Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Sirenen by Madsen from German to English.
Water cannons, tear gas
Everything is too far away
No world so perfect
Murder and manslaughter, misanthropy
Not a big issue for you
Doesn't concern you either
What have you thought until now
Do you hear the sirens
They sing a song
We are in here and outside there is war
Do you hear the sirens
They cry for you
I can't understand it
Tell me
Why don't you hear them?
Tanks and guns
Only praying makes you more lifelike than ever
Drones fly in the sky
Deliver the mail to your door
Take a photo of you
And you think
You are free, you are free
Do you hear the sirens
They sing a song
We are in here
And there is war outside
Do you hear the sirens
They cry for you
I can't understand it
Tell me
Why don't you hear them?
Do you hear the sirens?
They sing a song
We are in here
And there is war outside
Do you hear the sirens
They cry for you
I can't understand it
Tell me
Why don't you hear them?
