Lyrics and translation Unheilig - Schleichfahrt

Schleichfahrt

Why can′t you see
My light in the deep?

Schaltet die Motoren an
Wir reisen in ein neues Land
Ein fremdes Wesen soll dort sein
Unendlich tief, unendlich weit

Zwanzigtausend Tonnen Stahl
Sinken abwärts ins Schicksalstal
Hinunter in die Dunkelheit
Kein Licht und ohne Geleit

Schleichfahrt
Schleichfahrt

Why can't you see
My light in the deep?
Why can′t you see
My light in the deep?

Schleichfahrt
Schleichfahrt

Es geht hinab viel zu schnell
Überdruck im Trommelfell
Die See erdrückt den Atemzug
Ihr Griff raubt die letzte Luft

Kein Licht die Tiefe bricht
Nur der Kurs noch von Hoffnung spricht
Ich werde niemals den Engel sehn
Ohne vor meinem Schöpfer zu stehn

Zu tief

Why can't you see
My light in the deep?

Zu tief

Why can't you see
My light in the deep?
Why can′t you see
My light in the deep?
Why can′t you see
My light in the deep?

Schleichfahrt
Schleichfahrt

Silent Dive

Why can′t you see
My light in the deep?

Turn on the engines
We are traveling to a new land
An alien being is said to be there
Infinitely deep, infinitely far

Twenty thousand tons of steel
Sinking downward into the valley of destiny
Down into the darkness
No light and without guidance

Silent dive
Silent dive

Why can't you see
My light in the deep?
Why can′t you see
My light in the deep?

Silent dive
Silent dive

It's descending far too quickly
Overpressure in the eardrums
The sea crushes the breath
Its grip robs the last breath

No light breaks the depth
Only the course of hope still speaks
I will never see the angel
Without standing before my creator

Too deep

Why can't you see
My light in the deep?

Too deep

Why can't you see
My light in the deep?
Why can′t you see
My light in the deep?
Why can′t you see
My light in the deep?

Silent dive
Silent dive
