Gott Sein Lyrics in English Megaherz

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Gott Sein by Megaherz from German to English.
God, you who are in heaven
I know what torments you
God, you who are in heaven
I know what you lack
God, you who are in heaven
I know what torments you
God, you who are in heaven
I know what you lack
God, you who are in heaven
Come, don't leave us alone
Forgive us our guilt
Try to pardon us
God, you who are in heaven
Your own flesh and blood
You have given for us
But what was the good of that?
Your kingdom won't come
Your kingdom won't come
Your will doesn't happen
Not in heaven
And definitely not on earth
It's not easy to be a god
Sing hallelujah
Sing hallelujah
It's not easy to be a god, no
Sing hallelujah
Sing hallelujah
God, you who are in heaven
I know it's not easy
God, you who are in heaven
I know you're fed up
God, you who are in heaven
I know what moves you
Try to forgive us, or is it already too late?
Your kingdom won't come
Your will doesn't happen
Not in heaven
And definitely not on earth
It's not easy to be a god
Sing hallelujah
Sing hallelujah
It's not easy to be a god, no
Sing hallelujah
Sing hallelujah
I confess to God Almighty
And to all brothers and sisters
That I've left good undone
And have done evil
I've sinned in
Thoughts, words, and deeds
Through my fault
Through my great fault
Sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, hallelujah
Sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, hallelujah
Your kingdom won't come
Your will doesn't happen
Not in heaven
And definitely not on earth
It's not easy to be a god
Sing hallelujah
Sing hallelujah
It's not easy to be a god, no
Sing hallelujah
Sing hallelujah
It's not easy to be a god
Sing hallelujah
Sing hallelujah
It's not easy to be a god, no
Sing hallelujah
Sing hallelujah
Your kingdom won't come
And your will doesn't happen
Not in heaven
And definitely not on earth

SONG MEANING

Megaherz’s “Gott sein” ("To Be God") is a fiery industrial-metal prayer that flips the script: instead of humbly worshipping, the singer speaks directly to God, claiming to know what troubles Him and begging Him to fix a world where His will "doesn’t happen in heaven, and definitely not on earth." The repeated chorus “Es ist nicht leicht, ein Gott zu sein” ("It’s not easy to be a God") drips with both sympathy and sarcasm, hinting that maybe the Almighty is overwhelmed—or perhaps absent altogether.

As churchlike chants of “Sing Halleluja” collide with gritty guitars, the lyrics move from confession (“I have sinned in thoughts, words and deeds”) to open doubt about promised salvation (*“Dein Reich kommt nicht” – "Your kingdom isn’t coming"). The song ultimately questions blind faith, pointing out that humanity’s problems will not be solved by waiting for divine intervention. Packed with dark humor, raw emotion and biting social commentary, "Gott sein" invites listeners to examine their own beliefs while head-banging to a thunderous beat.
