1. Rage

Original lyrics

An angel's life
Will never lead you
Not what it seems
But I see right through

Remember smiles
That run across you
And cut your face
Right in two

So you take mine
And I'll take yours, too
Like butterflies
On the chins of fools

You said ignite
But in the rearview
We'd set the fires
We crash into

Now we're going to rage
For love and for the hate
Angels of the night
Reach out and take forever

And when we've gone away
The light will still remain
Angels never die
This is now, this is forever

We come alive
In the dark tunes
That children sing
From beneath you

The cast aside
The ones no one knew
On heaven's side
In a landslide

Now we're going to rage
For love and for the hate
Angels of the night
Reach out and take forever

And when we've gone away
The light will still remain
Angels never die
This is now, this is forever

2. Always On My Mind (feat. Till Lindemann)

Original lyrics

One, two, three, yeah

Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Mhm, yeah right

Maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine, ja
If I made you feel second best
Es tut mir leid, I was blind

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me
Tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me
One more chance to keep you satisfied
Satisfied

Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me
Tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me
One more chance to keep you satisfied
Satisfied

I'll call you

3. Freeze My Mind

Original lyrics

Life here is vanishing
I blink it is a new day
It all moves in such a blur
I think we're in the future

It seems like yesterday
We met and made a difference

Ice is chilling in my mind
Time has left me far behind
Come with me

Lost again, new dimension
Freeze my mind

My world is fantasy
You can't believe is changing
Stuck in reality
My ride is slowly ending

It's for eternity
Revolves in constant motion

Lost again, new dimension
Take notes in, no pretension

Freeze my mind
Freeze my

Lost again, new dimension
Take notes in, no pretension
Freeze my mind
Freeze my mind (lost again)
Freeze my mind (it's for eternity)

4. I'm Still Alive

Original lyrics

Un, et deux
Et un, deux, trois, quatre

Ouais, ouais, ouais, ouais

Head down the runway high
I'm gonna strike right through the lightning
I’ll blow the mother load
And leave a little part of me

Someone, outrun
All of my energy
So long, I'm done
I gave up everything

Go, lead me to light
Don't leave me lying here

I'm still alive

No glow but I'll come back
On a black halo of the divine
And the fuse of my attack
Is all the light I'll ever need

One love, one more
Electric enemy
Go numb, succumb
When it goes down on me

Go, lead me to light
Don't leave me lying here

I'm still alive

I feel it might get loud
I feel it coming out
I feel it

Lyrics © Emigrate GbR

Translation

One, and two
And one, two, three, four

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Head down the runway high
I'm gonna strike right through the lightning
I’ll blow the mother load
And leave a little part of me

Someone, outrun
All of my energy
So long, I'm done
I gave up everything

Go, lead me to light
Don't leave me lying here

I'm still alive

No glow but I'll come back
On a black halo of the divine
And the fuse of my attack
Is all the light I'll ever need

One love, one more
Electric enemy
Go numb, succumb
When it goes down on me

Go, lead me to light
Don't leave me lying here

I'm still alive

I feel it might get loud
I feel it coming out
I feel it

5. Come Over

Original lyrics

Please come over
Please come over
My shadow, lost friend
Please come over
Get me closer

I can't erase it
The light years are on my skin
A traveling spaceman
Oh, here I go again

Reflection and windows
They keep me in rotation
And stars are all strangers
Until the light comes in

Please come over
Please come over
My shadow, lost friend
Please come over
Get me closer

Please come over
The sun goes down
Tomorrow may not be around
And take me over
The sun goes down
Goes down

A standing ovation
What good is it in the end?
I'm shot off in stages
And smiling now and then

Please come over
Please come over
My shadow, best friend
Please come over
Get me closer

Please come over
The sun goes down
Tomorrow may not be around
And take me over
The sun goes down
Goes down

Please come over
The sun goes down
Tomorrow may not be around
And take me over
The sun goes down
Goes down

Dear controller
The sun's gone out
Tomorrow it won't be around
My supernova
The sun's gone out
I'm out

6. You Can't Run Away

Original lyrics

I've seen you
How you pray
A night song of mistakes
That you never sing aloud

I hear you celebrate
Like the dead
In lonely beds
That copulate

You can't run away
And hide again
So don't you die today alone
Forgive you

You can't run away
We'll try again
So don't you die today
No one
Can take your place over

I feel you suffocate
In hands that hide your face
Like a grave you carry 'round

I'll meet you half the way
This sound friend
Takes you in
From away

You can't run away
And hide again
So don't you die today alone
Forgive you

You can't run away
We'll try again
So don't you die today
No one
Can take your place over

There's no one
You're the only one

7. Hypothetical

Original lyrics

Fuck

I've got these hands to hold you
This mouth will chew and swell
Like butterflies inside you
Perfuming what you sell

I know that I am reaching
That churning, burning heart
I see the sweat is beading
From what I peel apart

I don't know
What I'm gonna do to you
So hypothetical

Fuck
Hypothetical
Let's fuck
So hypothetical

You've got the hands to be tied
Slip out from skin so cold
I've got the folds to be blind
Let's see what you like most

I cannot break the fever
The pounding of your soul
My little love receiver
You make me lose control

I don't know
What I'm gonna do to you
So hypothetical

Fuck
Hypothetical
Let's fuck
So hypothetical

Oh no
So hypothetical
Oh no, no
So hypothetical

8. Blood Stained Wedding

Original lyrics

I see the end of my world go
I'm afraid of the fall
I hear my voice on the radio
I see my name on the wall

Take a ride along the downstream
Never answer any calls
Is the nightmare never-ending
Maybe I'm not here at all

Mesmerize from a window
Walk in hell in the rain
I feel the eyes of the animals
I see them biting into pain

Say goodbye to all that I know
No more laws here to break
Feed our lives to the cannibals
Maybe god is running late

Blood stained wedding
Cut the ring from my hand
Don't you believe
In what's pretend

Have you ever
Seen the world in my head
Can you believe
In what's pretend

Know I have no recollection
Do you see my color drain
Just a chemical reaction
A little something off the chain

Gotta fix up my connection
Gotta keep it all in place
Can not stop a slow progression
From a mind you can't erase

Blood stained wedding
Cut the ring from my hand
Don't you believe
In what's pretend

Have you ever
Seen the world in my head
Can you believe
In what's pretend

Blood stained wedding

9. I Will Let You Go

Original lyrics

I'm mourning now
The lights go out
Hands to the ceiling
Face to the ground
Don't get inside of my head
Don't let me know
What's mine is mine and I need you
Won't let you go

I could let you go
Couldn't let you

Hit the piano keys and I confess
I get dizzy, depraved and I obsess
All your pretty things
Make pretty homes

Let's go

I could let you go
Couldn't let you

Won't ever tell
Won't ever call
Just stay with me now
Tonight we fall

I could let you go
Couldn't let you

Let's go

I will let you go
I will let you

Let's go
Let go
