Rammstein-Sehnsucht



Sehnsucht
Hunger

Let me ride out on a tear
Past your chin to Africa
Once more to the she-lion's den
Where I was at home back then
In between your tender long legs
Searching snow from just last year
Never does the snow appear

Let me ride out on a tear
In the clouds there is no bliss
A big bird gently slides his head
Back into a secret crevice
In between your tender long legs
Searching sand from just last year
Never does the sand appear

Hunger connects
Just like an insect
Asleep you never sense
Right as it bites
Nowhere can it be good so
The finger slips to Mexico
Then down it sinks into the sea
Hunger has no mercy

Engel
Angel

Live in virtue, no desire
In the grave an angel's choir
You look to heaven and wonder why
No one can see them in the sky

Just as the clouds have gone to sleep
Angels can be seen in heaven's keep
Alone in fear they question why
Goddamn not an angel when I die

Angels live, they never die
Apart from us, behind the sky
They're fading souls who've turned to ice
So ashen white in paradise

Just as the clouds have gone to sleep
Angels can be seen in heaven's keep
Alone in fear they question why
Goddamn not an angel when I die

Goddamn an angel when I die
Heaven must be hell in the sky

Tier
Beast

What is a man
What is a man
Who's between man and beast?
Can 't separate the man

He will go to his daughter so late
She is young and she 's such sweet bait
Just as if he were a dog
With his own flesh and blood he will mate

What do you
Feel in you?
What are you?
You are a beast!

What is woman
What is woman
In between beast and man?
Can 't separate the man

She dips the feather in his blood
Writes herself so many lines
A lifeless letter from her childhood
As her father slept by her side

What do you
Feel in you?
What are you?
You are a beast!

Bestrafe Mich
Punish Me

Punish me
Punish me
Straw is gold
And gold is stone
You are so big, make me small
You're the master,
make me crawl
The lord does give
The lord does take

Punish me
Punish me
You say yes
And I say no
Lock me in all you worship
Before the wind's cold hand grips
You are so big, make me small
You're the master, make me crawl
You're the master, make me crawl
You are so big, make me small
You're the master, make me crawl
You're so big you make him small
You will punish me for all
The lord does give
The lord does take
Does he give love to
Those he forsakes?
Punish me

Du Hast
You Hate

You
You hate
You hate me

You
You hate
You hate me
You hate me to say
You hate me to say
You hate me to say
And I did not obey

Will you until death does sever
Be upright to her forever

Never

Will you 'til death be her rider
Her lover too, to stay inside her

Never

Büch Dich
Bend Down

Bend down I order you
Turning your face back from me too
I don't need to see it now
Bend down
A biped who is on all fours
I'll lead him down on the floor
In quick-step we move along
I'm so displeased
Now crawling backwards to meet me
Honey stains his tights so badly
I'm so displeased
Sadly displeased

Bend down
I've no interest in the rest
The biped stuttered a short prayer
In fear of what I couldn't bear
Tried to bend down more and more
Tears we're running off to the floor
Bend down

Bend down I order you
Turning your face back from me too
I don't need to see it now
Bend down, you know how
Bend down

Spiel Mit Mir
Play With Me

We share a room and the bed
Brother dear please go right ahead
Brother dear come touch me here
Slide to me so close and near

By the bed a big black hole
In they jump all the sheep
Much too old but I count them still
But I cannot fall asleep
Past my navel in the bush
Waiting there white fantasies
Brother dear come hold me tight
And shake for me leaves from the trees
Play a game with me
Give me your hand and
Play with me
A game
Play with me
A game
Play with me
Cause we're alone now
Play with me
Father mother child
My brother dear hand in pain
He rolls back over once again
My brother helps me now and then
So that I may sleep again
Play a game with me
Give me your hand and
Play with me
A game
Play with me
A game
Play with me
Cause we're all alone
Play with me
Father mother child

Klavier
Piano

They say to me
Open this door
Curiosity screams
Whatever could it be
Back behind that door
A piano
The keys are all dusty
The strings are all untuned
Back behind that door
At the piano
But she plays no more
It is so long ago
On the piano
She's who I hear
She began to play
She took my breath away

She said to me too
That I'll stay with you
But it just seemed to be
She played alone for me
I poured her blood
In the fire of my rage
I locked up her shrine
They questioned in time
At the piano
She's who I hear
She began to play
She took my breath away
At the piano
I stand by her
But it just seemed to be
She played alone for me

They opened up the door And how they cried
I heard her mother plea
Her father struck out at me
They tore her from her chair
No one believed me there
I was so insane
With the stench and the pain

At the piano
She's who I hear
She began to play
She took my breath away
At the piano
She's who I hear
As I began to play
I took her breath away

Alter Mann
The Old Man

He's waiting for the midday wind
And waves spread out so dull and slack
And with a hand fan every day
The old man smoothes the water back
I cast a stone in just for fun
The water rings moved on the plane
So sadly stood the old man by
And swept the water flat again
In white sand the old man sat
Trembling as he smoked his pipe
Just the water and I know that
The fan is of a special type

Awareness sleeps volcano dreams
Reluctant I asked him why
His head hung low as if he slept
And the he said before he died

The water will be your only mirror
First when it's like glass can you see
How many fairy tales you have left
For your deliverance you will plead
The fan was pressed to his breast
Just as death's grip seized up his hand
His fingers must have been so tight
The fan remained back in the sand

I call the old man every day
Should he come and deliver me
I stay here with the midday wind
And in the fan it is plain to read

The water will be your only mirror
First when it's like glass can you see
How many fairy tales you'll have left
For your deliverance you will plead

Eifersucht
Jealousy

Am I pretty
Then cut me in the face
Am I stronger
Break my neck in disgrace
Am I smarter
Kill me and eat my brain
I take your wife
Kill me and eat me all up
Just eat me all up
Am I honest
Then bite my tongue right off
Am I richer
Then take it all
Am I braver
Kill me and eat my heart
I take your wife
Kill me and eat me all up
Just eat me all up
And lick the table clean
We're cooking jealousy

Have I such tender skin
Tear it out in stripes
Have I the clearest eyes
Steal all the light
Have I the purest soul
Burn it in the flames
I take your wife then
Kill me and eat me all up
Just eat me all up

And lick the table clean

We're cooking jealousy

Küß Mich
Kiss Me

She keeps very still
To be fingered is all she will
Swelling in the dried out grass
Her misty eyes fill up fast
She's captured and can't breakaway
Never sees the light of the day
With lustful shivers as she pleads
The tongues of men to serve her needs

Kiss me

She bites in every tongue so tight
To be licked is what she likes
But as it leaves a bitter taste
She is seldom just embraced

She's captured and can't breakaway
Never sees the light of day
With lustful shivers as she pleads
The tongues of men to serve her needs

Kiss me

The tongue slides out from the mouth
And slaps her wild in ecstasy
Hard and long right up front
She bleeds so badly from her ...snout
She's captured ....

Kiss me
on my moistened lips
Kiss me
With its bitter taste
Kiss me
