Engel

I've added another song to the First Fear working soundtrack - 'Engel' by Rammstein.



Here's the English translation:

Angel

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

I've seen Rammstein a couple of times now, once at Metro and another time on the Southside in a huge metal sports hall. The Metro show was interesting, because Chicago prohibits pyrotechnics in most venues and the band had to play sans fire. On the next tour around they played at the most out of the way joint around, but they were outside city limits and lit the place up with flames, firecrackers, and pyro from every possible angle and limb. Rammstein is both impressive and disturbing for their way with the audience. The Germanic rally atmosphere is pretty overwhelming and the irony is unfortunately lost on some of the skinhead fans. Scary on many levels.
