Wolken Lyrics English Translation by Apache 207
Somewhere after a thousand and one nights
Somewhere in the sea of tears, in the valley
Where dark-deep water rises up to your neck
Taught me how to swim
Why do we only see stars when the sun won’t shine?
Like strange heroes of long-forgotten time
Tell me, how after all these years of sleepless nights
Can you learn to dream?
Just give me something real
No matter how ugly it may seem
Every loud scream
Every hit that lands
And knocks you down, they’re just melodies
On the long way out
Out of this darkness
Tears that seem wasted
Every drop of sweat
Even clouds cry before they rise up
Run the long way out
Out of this darkness (Out of this darkness)
Free like fish in the sea, with heart
Then up to the top of the mountain, not hard
Old vices don’t drag behind me no more
What can your glances do to my inner worth? (Oh yeah)
I’ve seen the good and the bad
An empty plate and the finest buffet
The smallest men with the biggest commands
So I don’t do it for applause
I do it for my soul
Just give me something real
No matter how ugly it may seem
Every loud scream
Every hit that lands
And knocks you down, they’re just melodies
On the long way out
Out of this darkness
Tears that seem wasted
Every drop of sweat
Even clouds cry before they rise up
Run the long way out
Out of this darkness (Out of this darkness)
