Schuldig

Guilty

Let me tell you about a law

Looming above us

Like an invisible web

Only profiting those

Who scream the loudest

And protecting those

Who point their fingers at me

And I take a stand1 and say "Yes, it's me!"

Guilty or not, I take the blame

And I take a stand, accept the punishment

For it has to be someone with peace as his motive

It has to be someone

Who keeps making sacrifices

It has to be someone

Who's willing to carry all burdens

For there has to be someone

Who faces the judge for you2

It's going to be this one

Who keeps this treacherous world together3

The pack, it hunts

Every weak one unto his death

And rips and tears apart

Without being hungry or in need

If you ask them whether they're guilty

They scream "No, not yet today!"

I say "Come over here

And nail me to the cross!"

And I take a stand and say "Yes, it's me!"

Guilty or not, I take the blame

And I take a stand, accept the punishment

For it has to be someone with peace as his motive

It has to be someone

Who keeps making sacrifices

It has to be someone

Who's willing to carry all burdens

For there has to be someone

Who faces the judge for you

It's going to be this one

Who keeps this treacherous world together

Now look at me!

See this man!4

How much do you think

He can stand anymore?

Take your blame!

Carry it on your own!

Take away my pain!

And believe me:

The world will be a better place

It has to be everyone

Who keeps making sacrifices

It has to be everyone

Who's willing to carry all burdens

It has to be everyone

Who faces the judge for us

It has to be everyone

Before this world collapses
