Engel (English Version) Lyrics

Live in virtue, no desire
And in the grave an angels' choir
You look to heaven and wonder why
No one can see them in the sky

Just as the clouds have gone to sleep
Angels can be seen in heaven's keep
Alone in fear, they question why
Goddamn, not an angel when I die

Angels live, they never die
Apart from us, beyond the sky
Fading souls who've turned to ice
So ashen white in paradise

Just as the clouds have gone to sleep
Angels can be seen in heaven's keep
Alone in fear, they question why
Goddamn, not an angel when I die

Goddamn, not an angel when I die
Goddamn, not an angel when I die

Erst wenn die Wolken schlafengeh'n
Kann man uns am Himmel seh'n
Wir haben Angst und sind allein
Gott weiß ich will kein Engel sein
Goddamn, not an angel when I die
Goddamn, not an angel when I die
Goddamn, not an angel when I die
Goddamn, not an angel when I die

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

The English version of Engel was included on several issues of Sehnsucht, but should not be taken as a direct translation of the original German lyrics.
