Angst Isst Die Seele Auf Lyrics - Singles - Misery Index

Thrust into this competition naked and undone 

Back to back 

Yet divided on our own 

Fear breeding fear 

Exploding pressures on 

We're locked away in self-made chains 

Run out through the windows and into the streets 

Terror abounds as each man lives in fear 

Dread consumes their day 

The public is passive 

Inactive 

And lame 

Lock up the doors and let out the wolves 

A fratricidal race 

Given the chance you'd sit down to eat 

Yet consciousness is sacrificed 

This alter is never short on heads 

Stare in his eyes 

Your brother, this man 

Yet your fear will breed resentment 

Why can't you say a word? 

Zu Hause wie I'm Krieg, 

Waffen und Hass zuhauf 

Casualties of human life drift in the crowds 

They're standing on the margins - nullified 

Outside the world keeps turning under the sun 

While inside the soul is boiling over 

This hate for the other is hate for yourself 

The cancer condition 

The dead-end ambition 

You'll eat yourself alive 

Submit to the anger 

The coming of vengeance 

The cult of uncaring 

The chaos of living 

And face this world alone 

The hooks in your mouth now you'll swallow the bait 

Distorting your vision 

You'll drink from their poison 

So ripened for this fall 

You take from the worst and give up the best 

But never forget you're a human being...you breathe 

But can you think? 

Zu Hause wie I'm Krieg 

Waffen und Hass zuhauf 

In den Kopfen nur Furcht 

Angst isst die Seele auf 

The truth is something made 

Not something that's found 

So burn all inhibitions to the ground 

These politics of dread are a hammer to the head 

A life of fear is life among the dead, these barriers are built 

For us to tear them down.
