Lektionen in Demut 11.0 English translation by Thomas D Lyrics
Lessons in humility
Switch off your reflectors, falcon
This is the wrong place for reflections
I will administrate your world for a while
Surrender fully to me
Until deep within i am finally alone with you
You can't escape your lessons no matter if you face me
You can flee anything but yourself
You talk yourself into trouble, as if your life depends on it
And all the joy of the world would depend on your ego
You want to be a hero
Your house of cards collapses
For your world can only be a reflection of yourself
You alone are just half a human, so fallible
And the voices in your head are uncountable
But do not forget before downfall comes hubris
And after the downfall lessons in humility follow
Kneel down, nothing, and thank the world
That it gives you a home and keeps you alive
Then rise, prince, and use your power well
Take the lessons of life in humility
You have the choice if this is paradise or hell
For you are creator of your world even though you are part of it
You are responsible for anything that happens in your life
And a part of the heart of anyone close to you
And if you still feel like someone who lost everything
And you blame god because he bore you
Then its time that someone picks you up by your collar
Shakes you and to tells you that he will tell it to you but once:
You want to be a hero, so stand up for the world
And let love become a reflection of yourself
For it is your life's goal that you love it
And you win your ego easily if you surrender it
You sworn yourself love and you have the bravery for it
Then you will be reborn by lessons in humility
Keel down, and thank the world
That it gives you a home and keeps you alive
Then rise, use your power well
Take the lessons of life in humility
I feel week and tired as if i had not slept in days
As if i stayed awake and practiced to punish me
Me, once so great
Ends up as court jester
But i rise, i reach for the light
I feel like a new being that speaks for the first time
I am ready to listen to what my life has to tell me
To gain the insight that comes with the end of all questions
To preserve the condition, to let anything flow
To feel the freedom and to reach for the unity
Overcoming all fear i have reached my goal
Feel the power within me that resembles the universe
What life has given to all beings
Flows through my veins like heavy current
And i will be the hero of my world
In your great struggle for your souls you are no longer alone
All rules an barriers fall down
And i see what i have left to arrange and to resolve
I pray one: "i forgive you" and one "i am sorry"
To resolve the past
And i kneel down and i thank the world
That it gives me a home and keeps me alive
Then i rise, use my power well
And take the lessons of life in humility
Switch off your reflectors, falcon
This is the wrong place for reflections
I will administrate your world for a while
Surrender fully to me
Until deep within i am finally alone with you
You can't escape your lessons no matter if you face me
