lyrics

Ich sinke im Schmutz bis an die Knie ein
An meinen Händen klebt frisches Blut

Gestern war ich ein wenig müde
Heute ist meine Ermüdung größer

Tag für Tag kämpfe ich hier
Ich versuche die Ernte einzubringen von der Erde
Die mit Blut durchgetränkt ist
Die mit schwarzer Asche bedeckt ist

Alle Mittel sind versucht worden
Ich bemühte mich sehr lang
Mein Werk ohne wütenden Haß zu tun
Alles verfaulte, alles verweste

Blut und Asche erneuern den Geist der Erde
Wenn sie ihren Schmerz ausweint
Ich habe die Erde unter dem Schwert
Nicht unter dem Pflug, ja

Blut und Asche helfen mir
Opfer und Zerstörungen halten mich nicht auf
Ich bin nicht allein, vertraut mir
Der Regen wäscht die Erde

Wir werden dieser Regen sein

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

I sink to my knees in the mud
There is fresh blood on my hands

Yesterday I was tired a little
Today my tiredness is more

Day by day I fight here
I try to gather the crop from the earth
Which is sodden with blood
Which is covered with black ashes

All means were tried
I endeavoured very long
To do my work without violent hate
All is decayed, all is mouldered

Blood and ashes will renovate the spirit of earth
When it cries out its pain
I upturn the virgin soil with my sword
Not with the plough, yeah

Blood and ashes will help me
Victims and damages won't stop me
I am not alone, believe me
The rain will wash the earth

We'll be this rain
