Oomph!
D: Oomph! ist eine deutsche Rockband aus Braunschweig, die 1989 in Wolfsburg gegründet wurde.
Geschichte
Die frühen Jahre
Dero, Flux und Crap beschlossen 1989 auf einem Indie-Festival in Wolfsburg, ihre Band Oomph! zu
gründen. Wobei Dero und Crap sich bereits seit ihrer frühen Kindheit kannten. Der Bandname wurde von der Band selbst in einem alten englischen Wörterbuch gefunden und bedeutet so viel wie „das gewisse Etwas“, „Sex-Appeal“, „energiegeladen“ oder „der Schwung“. Das Ausrufezeichen ist Namensbestandteil.
1990 wurden sie von dem Produzenten Jor Mulder für das Berliner Elektro-Label Machinery Records entdeckt und unter Vertrag genommen. Mit dem gleichnamigen Debüt Oomph! konnte sich die Band hauptsächlich im EBM-Umfeld einen Namen machen.
1992/1993 gelangen sie mit der Maxi Ich bin Du auch zu internationaler Anerkennung u. a. in den USA (Billboard) und gelangten über das dortige College-Radio auch in die Top 10 der Independent-Charts.
1993 folgten der erste USA-Auftritt im ausverkauften New Yorker Club „Limelight“ und die Produktion des ersten Videoclips.
Auf dem zweiten Album Sperm (1994) zeigte sich – beeinflusst durch Gruppen wie Sepultura, Prong und Pantera – eine starke Tendenz zum Crossover-Genre. Das amerikanische Musikmagazin Billboard beschrieb die Musik seinerzeit als „Sepultura meets DAF“.
Weg zum Erfolg
Das Album Wunschkind brachte die ersten großen Erfolge in Deutschland. 1998 folgte der Labelwechsel zu dem Major Virgin Records in München. Der große Durchbruch gelang 1999 mit Plastik und den Hitsingles Das weiße Licht und Fieber feat. Nina Hagen.
Im Februar 2004 landeten sie mit Augen auf! einen Nummer-eins-Hit in Deutschland. Das Album Wahrheit oder Pflicht schaffte es auf den zweiten Platz der Media-Control-Charts und erreichte Gold-Status. Die Nachfolge-Single Brennende Liebe schaffte es ebenfalls in die Top Ten. Im Dezember 2004 erhielten sie für Augen auf! Platin und wurden zudem bei der 1 Live Krone zur besten Band 2004 gewählt.
Im März 2006 wurden Oomph! von der vom Fernsehsender RTL übertragenen Echo-Verleihung ausgeschlossen. Der Sender hatte Bedenken gegen den Song Gott ist ein Popstar aufgrund der Diskussion um die Mohammed-Karikaturen. Auch andere Radio- und Fernsehsender weigerten sich, diesen Titel zu spielen. Im Text heißt es unter anderem „Ich geb’ euch Liebe, ich geb’ euch Hoffnung, doch nur zum Schein, denn die Massen wollen betrogen sein“.
Die Band selbst sagte dazu in einem Interview mit dem Online-Magazin whiskey-soda:
„Wir halten der Gesellschaft gerne den Spiegel vor, wenn wir damit Diskussionen und Nachdenken anregen. Und das hat uns wohl die Echoausladung eingebracht. Die Begründung, es könnten Gefühle der Zuschauer verletzt werden? Hah! Als ob RTL jemals in irgendeiner seiner Sendungen darauf geachtet hätte, nicht die Empfindungen der Zuschauer zu verletzten, das ist doch ein Witz. Auch RTL hat den Karikaturenstreit bis ins Letzte ausgereizt, und wie viele andere versucht, den Menschen im Mittleren Osten Vorwürfe zu machen, so genannte Zivilisation einzufordern und die Freiheit anzuerkennen. Im gleichen Moment werden wir als Band dann ausgeladen, weil wir die Freiheit haben, selbst zu denken und zu kritisieren. Das ist mehr als fragwürdig!“
Am 9. Februar 2007 gewannen Oomph! zusammen mit der Die-Happy-Frontsängerin Marta Jandová für Niedersachsen den dritten Bundesvision Song Contest mit ihrer ebenfalls am 9. Februar 2007 erschienenen Single „Träumst du?“, die die Top Ten der Media-Control-Charts erreichte. Somit fand der Bundesvision Song Contest im Jahr 2008 in Niedersachsen statt, bei dem sie als Sieger des Vorjahres einen Auftritt hatten.
Bei der Wok-Weltmeisterschaft, die am 9. März 2007 in Innsbruck stattfand, nahmen Oomph! teil.
Beim ersten Lauf zog sich Dero bei einem Unfall eine Gehirnerschütterung zu. Da er daraufhin ins Krankenhaus musste, nahm die Band nicht weiter am Wettbewerb teil.
2008 erschien das Top-Ten-Album Monster, von dem das Lied Wach auf! auch als Titelsong für den Film Aliens vs. Predator 2 verwendet wurde.
2010 steuerte die Band mit Ernten was wir säen einen Titel zum Album A Tribute to Fanta 4 bei. Zudem erschien international das Best-of-Album Truth or Dare, welches erfolgreiche Songs der letzten Jahre in englischer Sprache enthält.
Am 18. Mai 2012 ist das aktuelle Album Des Wahnsinns Fette Beute erschienen. Mit der gleichnamigen Europatournee ging Oomph! mit der schwedischen Rockband Blowsight auf Tournee.

Oomph!
GB: Oomph! (pronounced "oomf" is a German musical group formed in Wolfsburg, Germany in 1989. The band is considered the pioneers of the German Neue Deutsche Härte movement. Since the band's formation there have been no line-up changes, except for live personnel.
Oomph! incorporates many styles of music such as metal, industrial, alternative rock, electronica and gothic to create their sound. Oomph!'s change of style between their self-titled debut (1992) and its successor Sperm (1994), leaning more heavily to a guitar-driven metal sound without giving up their electronic roots, inspired numerous musicians, most famously Rammstein, Megaherz and Eisbrecher, to follow their lead.
Oomph! released their first album on Jor's Machinery label, then releasing their consecutive albums on its sister label Dynamica. They stayed with Jor, until his labels disappeared during the acquisition by Sanctuary Records at around 1996/1997.
Oomph! finally signed on Virgin Schallplatten. Between 1998 and 2001, they released three albums on the Virgin label. The first, Unrein, was released in 1998, which became their debut album in the Media Control Charts, peaking at No. 37, and the Austrian top 40 at No. 38. A single called "Gekreuzigt" was released in 1998 to promote Unrein and became the band's debut single on the German charts, peaking at No. 81.
The second Virgin album, Plastik, was released in 1999 and peaked in Germany at No. 23. The third, Ego, was released in 2001, peaking at No. 21 in the Media Control Charts. This fulfilled their contract with Virgin; the band did not continue with the record company, feeling that it never fully explored their potential. With the benefits of major-label status, however, Oomph! gained a larger following and toured with labelmates Skunk Anansie in 1999, later opening for the Finnish rock band HIM in fall 2001.
In 2002, Oomph! played at the Ozzfest in Germany, alongside Black Label Society, Tool and Ozzy Osbourne on 20 May. The band appeared at the With Full Force Festival on July 5, 2002. On December 19, 2002, Oomph! opened for Apoptygma Berzerk.
In 2004, Oomph! released their first single "Augen Auf!" ("Eyes Open!") on a new label, this time on Supersonic Records, part of the Sony BMG group of music companies, from their eighth album Wahrheit oder Pflicht. It marks their first number one hit in Germany, thus eventually bringing forth their major commercial breakthrough. The album hit number 2 in the Media Control Charts.
In June 2004, Oomph! played at two major European music festivals: the Dynamo Open Air Festival
on June 5, in the Netherlands and on June 25 at the Graspop Metal Meeting in Belgium.
"Augen auf!" became part of the FIFA 2005 soundtrack. Oomph! appeared for the first time at Wacken Open Air on August 4, 2005.
The band's ninth album, GlaubeLiebeTod (FaithLoveDeath) was released in March 2006, including the controversial single Gott ist ein Popstar! ("God is a Popstar!"), its follow-up Das letzte Streichholz, Die Schlinge and Träumst Du?.
In August 2006, Virgin released the compilation album 1998-2001: Best of Virgin Years. It contains tracks from Oomph!'s three Virgin albums as well as a few unreleased tracks. The band distanced itself from this best-of release and asked the fans not buy it as the band's current label GUN had scheduled a best-of compilation as well.
On June 15, 2006, Oomph! played at the Nova Rock Festival in Austria.
On December 1, 2006, Oomph!'s official best-of album, Delikatessen (Delicacies) was released under the GUN label. The songs on it were hand-picked by the band itself. It contains tracks from all nine Oomph! albums, b-sides, remixes and never-heard before tracks like "The Power of Love" and "Gekreuzigt'06". By November 17, 2006, Oomph! released those two songs in a form of double single to promote the new compilation release.
On February 9, 2007, the band released their final GlaubeLiebeTod single – "Träumst Du?", featuring the female vocalist from Die Happy, Marta Jandová. The single peaked at number 9 in the media control charts. Oomph! performed the song live the same day at the 2007 edition of Bundesvision Song Contest, representing Lower Saxony in the competition, coming in first place.
On July 6, 2007, Oomph! opened for Metallica in Vienna, Austria.
Oomph!'s first DVD was Rohstoff, which contains live footage consisting of 23 songs, most of the videos the band has created, making-of videos, and an exclusive interview. The DVD was released on July 20, 2007.
A new song called "Wach Auf!" appeared in the film Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem; the single was released on January 4, 2008. Oomph! made their first appearances at the Rock am Ring and Rock im Park Festivals on June 6, 2008.
Oomph! released their tenth album, Monster, on August 22, 2008, which peaked in the Media Control Charts at number 8. The band's most successful single from the new album is "Labyrinth", released in September 2008, which peaked at number 26 in the Media Control Charts. The remaining tracks were to be released as B-sides on the upcoming singles. The first and only was "Sandmann", released in February 2009. Monster was reissued in June 2009 to include "Sandmann".
Oomph! opened for Marilyn Manson on June 24, 2009 in Linz, Austria.
On February 26, 2010, the band released their fourth compilation album, Truth or Dare, with their German songs re-recorded in English.[7] Then, from April 24 to October 22, the band toured Europe to promote the new compilation album.
On September 10, 2010, Oomph! debuted the song "Sieger" (German for "Winner"), which was written for the ESL Pro Series 17, to a worldwide audience. The song had previously only been heard at the Gamescom 2010 trade fair.
Des Wahnsinns fette Beute and Upcoming 12th Studio Album (2011–present)
Flux announced on October 8, 2011, on the official Oomph! Facebook page, that recording of a new album would be finished by the end of November. Dero also said that after so much time, only 20 tracks would be chosen and then they would select 12 or 14 of the best of them.
Announced on the band's official website, the new album is titled Des Wahnsinns fette Beute. The first single, "Zwei Schritte vor", was released on May 4, 2012. The album was released on May 18, 2012.

Countries confirmed so far are Russia, Ukraine, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Lithuania, Netherlands, Spain and France. Festivals confirmed so far are Nova Rock Festival, Wacken Open Air and the Summer Breeze Open Air festivals.
The band gained two new live members in 2012: Okusa (percussion) and El Friede (keyboards).

Oomph!
BR: Oomph! é uma banda alemã de metal industrial formada em 1989, que nunca teve troca de membros.
É uma banda de apenas três integrantes: Dero (vocal e bateria), Flux (guitarra e sampling) e Crap
(guitarra e teclados). Eles se encontraram no ano de 1989 em Wolfsburg, cidade sem tradição musical, mais conhecida pela matriz da Volkswagen.
A música do trio não se presta facilmente a rótulos. É uma mistura de gótico, metal, hard-rock e outros gêneros mais ou menos "sombrios", que caracterizam toda uma vertente do rock mundial.
Influência sobre Rammstein e escândalos
Lançado em 1992, o primeiro álbum da banda (Oomph!) foi considerado a revelação do ano. A banda fez sucesso até nos Estados Unidos, onde o disco chegou ao terceiro posto na parada das rádios universitárias.
Com isto eles abriram o caminho para que outras bandas alemãs ficassem conhecidas internacionalmente, inclusive Rammstein, que não esconde ter sido influenciada pela música de Oomph!.
A trajetória artística de Oomph! está marcada por vários escândalos. O vídeo do single Sex! foi boicotado pela MTV por mostrar um casal de idosos fazendo sexo. O cartaz deste mesmo single, exibindo um pênis, foi considerado de mau gosto pelo Conselho Alemão de Publicidade.
Oito álbuns em doze anos
O ecletismo de Oomph! ficou evidente nos dois álbuns seguintes: Sperm (Esperma, 1993) e Defekt (Defeito, 1995). As músicas abordam diversos gêneros como metal eletrônico, industrial e metal dançante, mas não se limitam a nenhum deles.
A partir do álbum Wunschkind (Filho desejado, 1996) a banda intensificou suas turnês e participações em festivais na Europa. Em 1998, Oomph! lançou o álbum Unrein (Impuro) com a música Gekreuzigt (Crucificado), o primeiro hit a tocar nos clubes.
O sucesso chegou mesmo em 1999 com o álbum Plastik (Plástico), que contou inclusive com uma canja da musa esotérica alemã Nina Hagen na faixa Fieber (Febre). Com o sétimo álbum Ego (2001), a banda Oomph! chegou aos top 20 e percorreu toda a Europa em turnê com a banda gótica HIM.
Agressivo e irônico
No seu mais recente álbum (Wahrheit oder Pflicht), os três músicos da Oomph! resolveram reciclar a influência dos discos anteriores, a fim de buscar novos caminhos.
"Os textos voltaram a ser agressivos e irônicos, o que nos fez bem depois dos dois últimos álbuns introvertidos", admite o vocalista Dero.
O single Augen auf, com o qual a banda se mantém há sete semanas no topo da parada de sucessos, atesta as marcas características do rock de Oomph!: melodias agressivas, ritmo pungente, arranjos bem cuidados e sons eletrônicos sombrios.
Do ponto de vista temático, Wahrheit oder Pflicht é um disco eclético. Os textos refletem emoções e experiências, como afirmou Dero. Desde o melodrama de relacionamento Wenn du weinst (Quando você chora), passando pela paródia de Nietzsche Tausend neue Lügen (Milhares de novas mentiras) até divagações filosóficas como na faixa Im Licht (Sob a luz).
Em 2012, lançaram seu décimo primeiro álbum intitulado Des Wahnsinns fette Beute.

Augen auf!
D: Eckstein, Eckstein - alles muss versteckt sein
Wieder lieg' ich auf der Lauer; Denn wir spielen unser Spiel. Wieder wart' ich an der Mauer; Wieder steh' ich kurz vorm Ziel;
Und ich höre deinen Atem; Und ich rieche deine Angst; Ich kann nicht mehr länger warten; Denn ich weiß, was du verlangst;
Eckstein, Eckstein - alles muss versteckt sein
Eins, zwei, drei, vier, fünf, sechs, sieben, acht, neun, zehn; Augen auf - ich komme!
Zeig' dich nicht!
Ständig ruf' ich deinen Namen; Ständig such' ich dein Gesicht; Wenn ich dich dann endlich habe; Spielen wir Wahrheit oder Pflicht;
Eckstein, Eckstein - alles muss versteckt sein
Eins, zwei, drei, vier, fünf, sechs, sieben, acht, neun, zehn; Augen auf - ich komme!
Zeig' dich nicht! Versteck dich;
Augen auf ich.... komme! Augen auf - ich komme! Augen auf - ich komme! Augen auf - ich komme! Aufgepasst - ich komme! Zeig' dich nicht!
Labyrinth
D: Links rechts gradeaus; du kommst hier nicht mehr raus; links rechts gradeaus
du kommst hier nicht mehr raus;
Der Wahnsinn hat dich eingesperrt; und deine Heile Welt verzerrt; hat sich in deinen Kopf gepflanzt; lauf, Kind, lauf, so schnell du kannst;
Du weißt nicht mehr, wer du bist; du weißt nicht mehr, was liebe ist; dein Spiegelbild hat sich entstellt; niemand ist hier, der zu dir halt;
Klopf klopf, lass mich rein; lass mich dein Geheimnis sein; klopf klopf - klopf klopf
klopf klopf, lass mich rein; lass mich dein geheimnis sein; klopf klopf, lass mich rein
lass mich dein Geheimnis sein;
Links rechts gradeaus; du bist im Labyrinth; links rechts gradeaus - links rechts gradeaus;
Keiner kann dir sagen, welche Türen die richtigen sind; mein verlornes Kind; links rechts gradeaus; du bist im Labyrinth; links rechts gradeaus - links rechts gradeaus;
Keiner kann dir sagen, wer die guten und die bösen sind; mein verlornes Kind;
Du hast mich oft aus dir verbannt; an meinem Zorn dein Herz verbrannt; dein zweite ich, die zweite Haut; hab ich in deinem Kopf erbaut;
Wenn ich in deine Seele tauche; und dich für meine Lust gebrauche; dann werd ich deine Sinne blenden; das Spiel kannst nur du selbst beenden;
Das letzte Streichholz
D: Sie küsste sanft ihr liebstes Spielzeug; Bevor sie es zerbrach. Dann schlich sie sich voll dunkler Sehnsucht; Ins kalte Schlafgemach.
Sie holte leis das letzte Streichholz; Aus Vaters Schrank hervor..."Warum hast du mir nie geholfen?"Schrie sie in Mutters Ohr..."Ich hoffe, dass wir uns nie Wiedersehen!"
"Damit ihr wisst, wie es ist; In der Hölle zu sein; Damit ihr wisst, wie es ist; Nach Erlösung zu schrein; Nur deshalb komm ich zurück; Mit flammendem Blick;
Ich nehme das letzte Streichholz; Und verbrenne eure schöne heile Welt"
Sie kochte sich die letzte Mahlzeit; Bevor sie sich erbrach. Dann spuckte sie voll tiefer Abscheu; Ins schwarze Schlafgemach... "Ich hoffe, dass wir uns nie wieder sehn!"
Wisst ihr jetzt, wie die Hölle wirklich ist? Wisst ihr jetzt, wie die Hölle wirklich ist?
Wisst ihr, dass euer Spiel zu Ende ist? Wisst ihr, dass eure Liebe tödlich ist?

A música do trio não se presta facilmente a rótulos. É uma mistura de gótico, metal, hard-rock e outros gêneros mais ou menos "sombrios", que caracterizam toda uma vertente do rock mundial.
Influência sobre Rammstein e escândalos
Lançado em 1992, o primeiro álbum da banda (Oomph!) foi considerado a revelação do ano. A banda fez sucesso até nos Estados Unidos, onde o disco chegou ao terceiro posto na parada das rádios universitárias.
Com isto eles abriram o caminho para que outras bandas alemãs ficassem conhecidas internacionalmente, inclusive Rammstein, que não esconde ter sido influenciada pela música de Oomph!.
A trajetória artística de Oomph! está marcada por vários escândalos. O vídeo do single Sex! foi boicotado pela MTV por mostrar um casal de idosos fazendo sexo. O cartaz deste mesmo single, exibindo um pênis, foi considerado de mau gosto pelo Conselho Alemão de Publicidade.
Oito álbuns em doze anos
O ecletismo de Oomph! ficou evidente nos dois álbuns seguintes: Sperm (Esperma, 1993) e Defekt (Defeito, 1995). As músicas abordam diversos gêneros como metal eletrônico, industrial e metal dançante, mas não se limitam a nenhum deles.
A partir do álbum Wunschkind (Filho desejado, 1996) a banda intensificou suas turnês e participações em festivais na Europa. Em 1998, Oomph! lançou o álbum Unrein (Impuro) com a música Gekreuzigt (Crucificado), o primeiro hit a tocar nos clubes.
O sucesso chegou mesmo em 1999 com o álbum Plastik (Plástico), que contou inclusive com uma canja da musa esotérica alemã Nina Hagen na faixa Fieber (Febre). Com o sétimo álbum Ego (2001), a banda Oomph! chegou aos top 20 e percorreu toda a Europa em turnê com a banda gótica HIM.
Agressivo e irônico
No seu mais recente álbum (Wahrheit oder Pflicht), os três músicos da Oomph! resolveram reciclar a influência dos discos anteriores, a fim de buscar novos caminhos.
"Os textos voltaram a ser agressivos e irônicos, o que nos fez bem depois dos dois últimos álbuns introvertidos", admite o vocalista Dero.
O single Augen auf, com o qual a banda se mantém há sete semanas no topo da parada de sucessos, atesta as marcas características do rock de Oomph!: melodias agressivas, ritmo pungente, arranjos bem cuidados e sons eletrônicos sombrios.Do ponto de vista temático, Wahrheit oder Pflicht é um disco eclético. Os textos refletem emoções e experiências, como afirmou Dero. Desde o melodrama de relacionamento Wenn du weinst (Quando você chora), passando pela paródia de Nietzsche Tausend neue Lügen (Milhares de novas mentiras) até divagações filosóficas como na faixa Im Licht (Sob a luz).
Em 2012, lançaram seu décimo primeiro álbum intitulado Des Wahnsinns fette Beute.

Augen auf!
D: Eckstein, Eckstein - alles muss versteckt sein
Wieder lieg' ich auf der Lauer; Denn wir spielen unser Spiel. Wieder wart' ich an der Mauer; Wieder steh' ich kurz vorm Ziel;
Und ich höre deinen Atem; Und ich rieche deine Angst; Ich kann nicht mehr länger warten; Denn ich weiß, was du verlangst;
Eckstein, Eckstein - alles muss versteckt sein
Eins, zwei, drei, vier, fünf, sechs, sieben, acht, neun, zehn; Augen auf - ich komme!
Zeig' dich nicht!
Ständig ruf' ich deinen Namen; Ständig such' ich dein Gesicht; Wenn ich dich dann endlich habe; Spielen wir Wahrheit oder Pflicht;
Eckstein, Eckstein - alles muss versteckt sein
Eins, zwei, drei, vier, fünf, sechs, sieben, acht, neun, zehn; Augen auf - ich komme!
Zeig' dich nicht! Versteck dich;
Augen auf ich.... komme! Augen auf - ich komme! Augen auf - ich komme! Augen auf - ich komme! Aufgepasst - ich komme! Zeig' dich nicht!

Open your eyes!
GB: Cornerstone, cornerstone, everything must be hidden
Again, I lie in wait; Because we play our game; Again, I wait at the wall; Again, I stand just before the target;
And I hear your breath; And I can smell your fear; I can not wait any longer; Because I know what you want;
Cornerstone, cornerstone - everything must be hidden
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10; Eyes open - I'm coming! Don't reveal yourself! (Stay hidden);
Constantly I call your name; Constantly I seek your face; When I finally find you
Let's play Truth or Dare;
Cornerstone, cornerstone - everything has to be hidden
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10; Eyes open - I'm coming!; Don't reveal yourself! (Stay hidden)
Eyes open, I'm... coming! Eyes open - I'm coming! Eyes open - I'm coming! Eyes open - I'm coming! Look out - I'm coming! Don't reveal yourself!

Labyrinth
D: Links rechts gradeaus; du kommst hier nicht mehr raus; links rechts gradeaus
du kommst hier nicht mehr raus;
Der Wahnsinn hat dich eingesperrt; und deine Heile Welt verzerrt; hat sich in deinen Kopf gepflanzt; lauf, Kind, lauf, so schnell du kannst;
Du weißt nicht mehr, wer du bist; du weißt nicht mehr, was liebe ist; dein Spiegelbild hat sich entstellt; niemand ist hier, der zu dir halt;
Klopf klopf, lass mich rein; lass mich dein Geheimnis sein; klopf klopf - klopf klopf
klopf klopf, lass mich rein; lass mich dein geheimnis sein; klopf klopf, lass mich rein
lass mich dein Geheimnis sein;
Links rechts gradeaus; du bist im Labyrinth; links rechts gradeaus - links rechts gradeaus;
Keiner kann dir sagen, welche Türen die richtigen sind; mein verlornes Kind; links rechts gradeaus; du bist im Labyrinth; links rechts gradeaus - links rechts gradeaus;
Keiner kann dir sagen, wer die guten und die bösen sind; mein verlornes Kind;
Du hast mich oft aus dir verbannt; an meinem Zorn dein Herz verbrannt; dein zweite ich, die zweite Haut; hab ich in deinem Kopf erbaut;
Wenn ich in deine Seele tauche; und dich für meine Lust gebrauche; dann werd ich deine Sinne blenden; das Spiel kannst nur du selbst beenden;

Labyrinth
GB: Left, right, straight ahead; You're not getting out of here; Left, right, straight ahead;
You're not getting out of here;
The madness has gaoled me; And has deformed your ideal world; Has implanted itself into your head; Run, child, run, as fast as you can;
You don't know anymore who you are; You don't know anymore what love is;
Your mirror image is distorted; Nobody is here who sticks by you;
Knock, knock, let me in; Let me be your secret; Knock, knock - knock, knock;
Knock, knock, let me in; Let me be your secret; Knock, knock, let me in; Let me be your secret;
Left, right, straight ahead; You are in the labyrinth; Left, right, straight ahead - left, right, straight ahead;
Nobody can tell you which doors are the right ones; My lost child; Left, right, straight ahead; You are in the labyrinth; Left, right, straight ahead - left, right straight ahead;
Nobody can tell you who are the good and the bad ones; My lost child;
You've often banished me from yourself; Burned your heart at my wrath; Your second ego, the second skin; I have them built inside your head;
When I dive into your soul; And use you for my lust; Then I will blind your senses;
That game only you yourself can end;

Labirinto
BR: À esquerda, à direita, à frente; Você não vai mais sair daqui; À esquerda, à direita, à frente; Você não vai mais sair daqui;
A loucura te prendeu; E distorceu o seu mundo; Plantou-se em sua cabeça;
Corra, criança, corra, o mais rápido que pode!
Você não sabe mais o que é; Você não sabe mais o que o amor é; Seu reflexo desfigurou-se; E não há ninguém aqui para lhe fazer companhia;
Toc toc, deixe-me entrar; Deixe-me ser o seu segredo; Toc toc. Toc toc; Toc toc, deixe-me entrar; Deixe-me ser o seu segredo; Toc toc, deixe-me entrar; Deixe-me ser o seu segredo;
À esquerda, à direita, à frente; Você está no labirinto; À esquerda, à direita, à frente, à esquerda, à direita, à frente; Ninguém pode lhe dizer quais das portas são as certas; Minha criança perdida; À esquerda, à direita, à frente; Você está no labirinto;
À esquerda, à direita, à frente, à esquerda, à direita, à frente; Ninguém pode lhe dizer o que é certo ou errado; Minha criança perdida;
Você me baniu de si várias vezes; E seu coração queimou em meu ódio; Seu segundo eu, sua segunda pele; Fui eu quem criei em sua mente;
Se eu mergulhar em sua mente; E te usar como bem entender; Cegarei seu sentidos
E somente você pode parar o jogo;
Toc toc, deixe-me entrar; Deixe-me ser o seu segredo; Toc toc. Toc toc; Toc toc, deixe-me entrar; Deixe-me ser o seu segredo; Toc toc, deixe-me entrar; Deixe-me ser o seu segredo;

Das letzte Streichholz
D: Sie küsste sanft ihr liebstes Spielzeug; Bevor sie es zerbrach. Dann schlich sie sich voll dunkler Sehnsucht; Ins kalte Schlafgemach.
Sie holte leis das letzte Streichholz; Aus Vaters Schrank hervor..."Warum hast du mir nie geholfen?"Schrie sie in Mutters Ohr..."Ich hoffe, dass wir uns nie Wiedersehen!"
"Damit ihr wisst, wie es ist; In der Hölle zu sein; Damit ihr wisst, wie es ist; Nach Erlösung zu schrein; Nur deshalb komm ich zurück; Mit flammendem Blick;
Ich nehme das letzte Streichholz; Und verbrenne eure schöne heile Welt"
Sie kochte sich die letzte Mahlzeit; Bevor sie sich erbrach. Dann spuckte sie voll tiefer Abscheu; Ins schwarze Schlafgemach... "Ich hoffe, dass wir uns nie wieder sehn!"
Wisst ihr jetzt, wie die Hölle wirklich ist? Wisst ihr jetzt, wie die Hölle wirklich ist?
Wisst ihr, dass euer Spiel zu Ende ist? Wisst ihr, dass eure Liebe tödlich ist?

The last match
GB: She gently kissed her favorite toy; Before destroying it; Then she creep full of dark longin; Into the cold sleeping room;
She silently took the last match; Out of father's wardrobe; "Why did you never help me?" She screamed into mother's ear; "Ich hope we'll never see each other again!"
"That you know how it feels; To be in hell; That you how it feels; To scream for salvation; That's what I come back; With a blazing look; I take the last match
And burn your beautiful whole world"
She cooked herself the last meal; Before vomiting; Then she spit full of revulsion;
Into the dark sleeping room; "I hope we'll never see each other again!"
Do you know now how hell really feels like? Do you know now how hell really feels like? Do you know that your game has come to an end? Do you know that your love is lethal?

Das Letzte Streichholz (O último fósforo)
BR: Ela beijou suavemente seu brinquedo favorito; Antes de quebrá-lo; Então cheia de espera ela andou nas pontas dos pés; Dentro de seu quarto frio;
Ela tranquilamente pegou o último fósforo; Da cabine do seu pai; "Por que voucê nunca me ajudou?" Ela gritou no ouvido da mãe "Espero que nunca mais nos vejamos de novo!"
Então agora você sabe como é estar no inferno; Então agora você sabe como é gritar por redenção; Só estou indo para voltar; Com um olhar flamejante; Eu pego o último fósforo e queimo seu lindo mundo; perfeito;
Ela cozinha para si mesma sua última refeição; Antes de vomitá-la; Então ela cospe cheia de aversão profunda; Dentro do quarto escuro; Então agora você sabe como é estar no inferno; Então agora você sabe como é gritar por redenção; Só estou indo para voltar; Com um olhar flamejante; Eu pego o último fósforo e queimo seu lindo mundo perfeito;
Agora você sabe como o inferno é de verdade? Agora você sabe como o inferno é de verdade? Você sabe que seu jogo acabou? Você sabe que seu amor é mortal?
Nunca de novo! Nunca de novo!)
Então agora você sabe como é estar no inferno; Então agora você sabe como é gritar por redenção; Só estou indo para voltar; Com um olhar flamejante; Eu pego o último fósforo e queimo seu lindo mundo perfeito;
