Engel Lyrics

Wer zu Lebzeit gut auf Erden

wird nach dem Tod ein Engel werden

den Blick gen Himmel fragst du dann

warum man sie nicht sehen kann



Erst wenn die Wolken schlafen gehen

kann man uns am Himmel sehen

wir haben Angst und sind...

    A song about being a literal angel: someone too good to exist. Noone can truly be merciful for all humanity and take the weight for all our sins (refer to Jesus). In everyday situation, it's a criticism of being all-good-for-others. People need to be egoistical too, because if Earth was inhabitted with only care-for-others people, we'd simply go extinct.

    Here is English version:

    Who in their lifetime is good on Earth
    and will become an angel after death
    you look to the sky and ask
    why can't you see them

    First if the clouds have gone to sleep
    you can see us in the sky
    we are afraid and alone

    God knows I don't want to be an angel

    They live behind the sunshine
    separated from us, infinite expanse
    they must cling to the stars (very tightly)
    so they won't fall from the sky

    First if the clouds have gone to sleep
    you can see us in the sky
    we are afraid and alone

    God knows I don't want to be an angel

    First if the clouds have gone to sleep
    you can see us in the sky
    we are afraid and alone

    God knows I don't want to be an angel
