Ursprünglich benannt als "Unheil über Israel", jedoch wurde sich dann dagegen entschieden als mich eine Freundin daruf hin wies, dass das ganze Album sowieso schon wie 'n NSBM Album rüber kommen könnte im falschen Munde...

Originally titled as "Harm over Israel", yet I then choose against it when a friend of mine said that this whole record could be taken out of context and be treated as NSBM...
lyrics
Ich starre in dein Ebenbild,
es ist finster wie die Nacht,
in ewiger Dunkelheit verloren
Endlich wurdest du gefunden,
deinem Dornenreich sehr nah
Beinah wärst du erstickt
denn du bist ja auch nur ein Mensch
Rastlos, Tag um Tag
Und du wartest
Und du wartest nicht mehr
denn du weißt, du bist ja auch nur ein Mensch

Title: Empire of Thorns
I'm staring at your likeness
it is dark as night,
got lost in the endless void
You were found, at last
were very close to your Empire of Thorns
you were close to suffocating
since you're also only human...
No rest, day after day,
you're no longer waiting
you're no longer waiting
because you know, you're also only human
