1st album - Herzeleid
01 Wolt ihr das bett in Flamen Sehen

["Do You Want to See the Bed in Flames"]
Do you want to see the bed in flames

Do you want to totally perish
You want to stick the dagger in the sheet
You want to lick the blood from the dagger
Rammstein!
You see the crosses on the pillow

You think innocence may kiss you
You believe killing might be hard
But where are all the dead coming from
Rammstein!
Sex is a battle.
Love is war.
02 Der Meister ["The Master"]
Run!
Because the master has sent us
We announce the downfall of the riders of evil
Feed his ulcer of envy
The truth is like a thunderstorm
It comes to you, you can hear it
To proclaim it is so bitter
It comes to you in order to destroy
Because the night lay dying

We announce Doomsday
There will be no mercy, run, run for your lives
The truth is a chorus of wind
No angel comes to avenge you
These days are your last
It will break you like little sticks
It comes to you as perdition
The truth is a chorus of wind
03 Weisses Fleisch ["White Flesh"]
You in the school yard

I'm ready to kill and nobody here knows of my loneliness
Red welts on the white skin
I'm hurting you and you are loudly whimpering
Now you are scared
And I am ready
My black blood soils your dress
Your white flesh excites me so

I am just a gigolo
Your white flesh enlightens me
My black blood, your white flesh

I'm getting more and more excited by your screams
The sweat of fear on your white forehead
It is hailing into my sick brain
Now you are scared and I am ready

My sick existence screams for redemption
Your white flesh becomes my scaffold
There is no god in my heaven
My father was just like me

Your white flesh excites me so
I am just a gigolo
Your white flesh enlightens me
04 Asche zu Asche ["Ashes to Ashes"]
Warm body, hot cross, false judgment, cold grave

On the cross I'm lying now, they pound the nails into me
The fire cleanses my soul and a mouthful of ashes remains
I shall chase you
Secretly I shall resurrect and you will beg for mercy
Then I'll kneel in your face an put my finger into the ashes
05 Seemann ["Sailor"]
Come in my boat, a storm is rising and the night is coming

Where do you want to go (quite alone you are drifting away)
Who will hold your hand when it pulls you under
Where do you want you want to go,
So boundless the cold sea
Come in my boat
The wind of autumn keeps the sails stiff
Now you are standing by the lantern with tears in your face
The daylight falls to the side
The autumn wind sweeps empty the streets
The evening light chases the shadows away
Time stands still and fall is coming
Come in my boat
Yearning becomes the helmsmen
Come in my boat
The best sailor was I
You take the fire from the candle
Time stands still
Fall is coming, the only spoke of your mother
So merciless is only the night
In the end I'm left alone
The time stands still and I am cold
06 Du Riechst So Gut ["You Smell So Good"]
Insanity is only a narrow bridge, the banks are reason and desire
I'm going after you, the sunlight confuses the mind
A blind child that's crawling forward because it smells it's mother
The track is fresh and onto the bridge drips your sweat, your warm blood
I don't see you, I only smell you and I sense you
A predator that screams with hunger
I scent you for miles
You smell so good, you smell so good
I'm coming after you
You smell so good, I'll find you

So good, I'm coming after you
You smell so good, I'll have you shortly
I'll wait till it is dark
Then I'll touch your wet skin
Don't tell on me
Oh don't you see the bridge is burning
Stop screaming, don't defend yourself
Because otherwise it breaks apart
07 Das Alte Leid ["The Old Pain"]
On the board and into the light

a creature presses me to go
for the same thing and the old grief
catching my tears with laughter
and on the mat rots a young body
where fate directs its puppets
I know at last: nothing's for free
On the board and into nothingness

everybody knows what remains at the end
the same thing and the old grief
driving me slowly into insanity
and on the mat rages the same war
still scorching my heart
the same thing and the old grief
I know at last:
I want to fuck
never again the old grief
never again
On the board and into the light
a creature presses me to go
catching my tears with laughter
and on the mat rots a young body
where fate directs its puppets
I know at last
never again
08 Heirate Mich ["Marry Me"]

(used in ads for the movie "American Psycho")
You see him creeping around the church.

For a year he's been alone.
Sorrow took all his senses away
Every night he sleeps beside her grave.
There by the bells there is a stone.
I am the only one who can read it.
And on the fence the red cock
Who once had been in your heart.
Fear driven on this fence
I go digging every night
To see what remained
From the face that smiled for me.
There by the bells I am spending the night
There among snails a lonely animal.
During the day I run after the night.
You escape me for the second time.
Marry me.
I am digging deep with my hands.
To find what I missed so much.
And the moon in its most beautiful dress
I have kissed your cold lips.
I embrace you tenderly
But your skin tears like paper
And parts are falling off of you.
There by the bells I am spending the night
There amongst snails a lonely animal.
During the day I run after the night.
marry me.
So I take what remained of you
The night is cold
And we are naked
To curse the cock greets the morning
I have hacked off his head
09 Herzeleid ["Heartache"]
Save each other from heartache

because the time you spend together is short
Because even when you are united by many years

They will seem to you just like minutes
Heartache...
Save each other from loneliness
Heartache...
10 Laichzeit ["Spawntime"]
He loves his mother

And from one side
The fish
He gives to her himself
It shed's its skin in front of empty testicles
The old skin falls on the floor
He loves his sister

And from the back the fish
Eats it's way through to the mouth
The gills bloody still from sucking
The red big eyes
Spawntime
It is spawntime
He loves the dog

Oh god, from above
The fish now kisses with the tongue
Spits dead milk into your face
You don't dare to touch him
Spawntime
Fish milk everywhere
It is spawntime
Mother was taken by the sea

Spawntime
The sisters don't have time
Spawntime
The dog stands at the shore, waving
Spawntime
The fish needs his loneliness
Spawntime
11 Rammstein ["Rammstein"]

2nd album - Sehnsucht
01 Sehnsucht ["Longing"]
Let me ride your tear

over the chin to Africa
again into the she-lion's lap
where I once was at home
between your long legs
I search the snow of last year
but there's no more snow
Let me ride your tear

over clouds without luck
the big bird pushes the head
smoothly back into its hideaway
between your long legs
searches the sand of last year
but there's no more sand anymore
longing hides
like an insect
while asleep you don't notice
it's biting you
lucky I don't get anywhere
the finger slides to mexico
but it sinks in the ocean
longing is so cruel
02 Engel ["Angel"]
Who in his lifetime is good on Earth

Becomes after death an angel
And you watching the sky ask yourself,
Why can't you see them?
First when the clouds go to sleep

You can see us in the sky
We are afraid and alone
God knows I don't want to be an angel
They live behind the horizon

Divorced from us, endless wide
They must hold to the stars
So that they don't fall from Heaven
First when the clouds go to sleep

You can see us in the sky
We are afraid and alone
God knows I don't want to be an angel
03 Tier ["Animal"]
What is a man
What is a man
who can't differentiate
between human and animal
What
He will go to his daughter

she's beautiful and young of years
and then he will like a dog mate
with his own flesh and blood
what are you doing

what are you feeling
What are you
Just a animal
what does a woman

what does a woman
who can't differentiate
between animal and man
She dips the feather in his blood

and writes a letter to herself
dissouled lines to the childhood
when her father slept by her
What are you doing

what are you feeling
what are you
Just a animal!
04 Bestrafe Mich ["Punish Me"]
Punish me
Punish me
straw becomes gold
and gold becomes stone
your greatness makes me small
you may be my punisher
yeah
The lord does give

The lord does take
Punish me
Punish me
You say yes
And I say no
include me in your prayers
before the wind blows even colder


You will be my punishment
The lord does give
The lord does take
But he only gives to those
who he loves
Punish me
05 Du Hast ["You Have"]

(from "The Matrix" soundtrack)
You
You have
You have me
You
You have
You have me
You have me
You have asked me
You have asked me
And i have said nothing
Will you until death seperates you,

Be faithful for all days
No
Will you until death seperates you,

Love also in bad days
No
06 Bck Dich ["Bend Down"]
Bend down I order you

turn your face away from me
your face is equal
Bend down
a two-legged on all fours

I take him for a walk
in the amble along the corridor
I'm disappointed
Now he comes backwards for me
Honey glues at the garter
I'm disappointed, totally disappointed
Bend down...
the face doesn't interest me
The two-leg has bent down now

what casts a good reflection on him
I show him what is possible
and start to cry
The two-leg stammers a prayer

from fear because I feel worse
he starts to bend down even more
tears run up the back
Bend down...
Bend down I order you

Turning your face back from me too
I don't need to see it now
Bend down, you know how
Bend down...
07 Spiel Mit Mir ["Play With Me"]

We share a room and bed
Little brother come and be kind
Little brother come touch me
Slide over to me real close
In front of the bed a black hole

And every sheep falls into it
I'm already too old, but still I count them
Because I cannot get to sleep
Beneath the navel in the branches

A white dream is already waiting
Little brother come hold fast
And shake the leaves off the tree for me
Play a game with me

Give me your hand and
Play with me - A game

Play with me - Cause we're alone now
Father mother child
Little brother's hand hurts

He turns back to the wall
The brother helps me now and then
So that I can sleep
Play a game with me

Give me your hand and

Play with me - Cause were alone now
Father mother child
08 Klavier ["Piano"]
They tell me
Unlock this door
Curiosity becomes a scream
What may be behind it
behind this door
Stands a piano
The keys are dusty
The strings are out of tune
behind this door
She sits at the piano
But she plays no more
That was so long ago
There at the piano

I listen to her
And when she started to play
I held my breath
She told me
I'll always stay with you
But it only seemed
She plays for me only
I poured her blood
Into the fire of my rage
I locked the door
They asked for her
There at the piano

I listened to her
I held my breath
There at the piano
I stood behind her
It seemed
She plays for me only
The door is open

oh, how they scream
The father is beating me
I hear the mother pleading
They detach her from the piano
And nobody believes me here
That I'm deathly sick
From grief and stench
There at the piano

I listen to her
I held my breath
There at the piano
She listened to me
Where I started to play
She held her breath
09 Alter Mann ["Old Man"]
He's waiting for the midday wind

the wave comes and lies down slowly
with a fan every day
The old man makes the water even
I throw a stone in just for pleasure

the water moves in circles
the old man looks worried at me
and sweeped it even again
In white sand the old man sat

Trembling he smokes his pipe
Only the water and I know
For why he needs this fan
the notion sleeps like a volcano

hesitating I had then asked
The head bent it seems he slept
he said before he died
The water will be your mirror
after it's even you will see
How many fairytales remains for you
and for redemption you will plead
The fan was pressed against his body

in agony his hand gets stiff
they had to break his fingers
the fan remains in the sand
I call the old man every day

he would still like to redeem me here
I stay back in the midday wind
and I can read in the fan
The water will be your mirror

after it's even you will see
How many fairytales remains for you
and for redemption you will plead
10 Eifersucht ["Jealousy"]
Am I more handsome
Then cut my face
Am I stronger
Break my neck in disgrace
Am I smarter
Kill me and eat my brain
I take your wife
Kill me and eat me all up
Then eat me all up
Am I honest
Then bite my tongue off
Am I richer
Then steal everything
Am I braver
Kill me and eat my heart
I take your wife
Just eat me all up
And lick the table clean
We're cooking jealousy
Have I such tender skin

Tear it out in stripes
Have I the clearest eyes
Steal all the light
Have I the purest soul
Burn it in the flames
I take your wife then
Just eat me all up
And lick the table clean

We're cooking jealousy
11 Kss Mich (Fellfrosch) ["Kiss Me (Furyfrog)"]
She always keeps still

Because she wants to be fingered
She puffs herself up in the dry grass
Her misty eyes fill up fast
Captured in the darkness

She never sees the light of day
Twitching from lewdness she then entreats
The tougue inside the man
Kiss me
She bites and seizes every tongue

Because she enjoys to be licked
But because it takes a little bitter
She seldom is kissed
Captured in...
Kiss me
The tongue crawls from the mouth

And hits her wild and in ecstasy
Several times violently across the face
Her nose is bleeding terribly
Captured in...
Kiss me
On my moist lips
Kiss me
Even if it tastes bitter
Kiss me

Das Modell (German)
Sie ist ein Modell und sie sieht gut aus,

ich nehm sie heut` gerne mit zu mir nach haus!
Sie wirkt so khl,
an sie kommt niemand ran,
doch vor der Kamera
da zeigt sie was sie kann!
Sie trinkt in Nachtclubs immer Sekt

(korrekt!)
und hat hier schon alle Mnner abgescheckt!
Im Scheinwerferlicht ihr junges Lcheln strahlt,
sie sieht gut aus und Schnheit wird bezahlt
ja!
Sie stellt sich zur Schau fr das Konsumprodukt,
und wird von millionen Augen angeguckt.
Ihr neues Titelbild ist einfach fabelhaft,
ich mu sie wiedersehn, ich glaub sie hats
geschafft!
The Model (English)
She is a model and she looks really good

I'd like to take her home with me
she seems to be cool,
but she's unreachable
but when she's posing in front of the camera
she shows what she can
In night-clubs she's always drinking sparkling wine,

Correct!
and she has checked out all men there
In the spotlight her young smile is shining
she looks really good and she's paid for her beauty
yes!
She exhibits for any consuming product

millions of eyes are staring at her,
her new cover picture is fantastic
I need to see her again, I think she's done it

a single - 1999
Kokain (German)
Sind die Freunde mir gewogen

die weie Fee spannt ihren Bogen
schiet meiner Sorge ins Gesicht
und auf den beiden Hlften bricht
der Vater aller Spiegel
Er winkt mir und ich beug mich vor

er flstert leise in mein Ohr
Du bist das schnste Kind von allen

ich halt dich wie mein eigen Blut
du bist das schnste Kind
in mir ist auch das Bse gut
Die Neugier meinen Traum verlngert

die weie Fee sie singt und lacht
hat gewaltsam mich geschwngert
und trchtig qult mich durch die Nacht
der Vater aller Spiegel
Er winkt mir und ich beug mich vor

er flstert leise in mein Ohr

Und wie ich mich der Wehen wehre

auf dem Kinderbett noch gehurt
seh dabei wie ich begehre
und fre die eigene Nachgeburt

Cocaine (English)
If the friends are good to me,

the white fairy is bending her bow,
shoots into the face of my worries,
and out of the two halves
breaks the father of all mirrors.
He`s waving at me and I bend,

and he`s whispering in my ear.
You are the sweetest child of all,

I`ll keep you as my own blood,
you are the nicest child of all,
in me, even the evil is good.
The curiosity is making my dream longer,

the white fairy, she sings and she laughs,
she made me pregnant violently,
and pregnant as I am is torturing me through the night
the father of all mirrors
He`s waving at me and I bend,

and he`s whispering in my ear.

And as I defend myself against the pains of birth,

still being a bitch in the cradle,
watch me while I give birth,
and devour the own afterbirth.

Feuerrder (German)
Leg mir das Halsband um
dann geh ich auf die Knie
und fang zu bellen an
der Schmerz ist schn wie nie
Komm mach den Kfig auf
und ich bin sternenreich
dort wo die Sterne waren

drehn sich - Feuerrder
wir feiern eine Leidenschaft
Komm mir langsam

leg du mir die Ketten an
und zieh den Knoten fest
damit ich lachen kann

Leg mir das Halsband um

dann geh ich auf die Knie
und fang zu bellen an
der Schmerz war schn wie nie

der Schmerz ist schn wie du

der Schmerz ist schn wie ich
Wheels of Fire (English)
Put that collar on me

I'll go down on my knees
And start to bark,
the pain has never been finer
Open the cage,
bring me to the realm of stars
Where stars have been,

wheels of fire are turning
We celebrate a passion,
Hurt me slowly,
put me in chains
And fasten the knot,
so I can laugh
Open the cage,

Put that collar on me,

I'll go down on my knees
And start to bark,
the pain has never been sweeter
Open the cage,

the pain is as beautiful as you

The pain is as beautiful as I

A little wish
Oh would you be blind
We are victims of a bad trick
Black glass is everythere
We are guilty, because we are ugly
Black glass
I am dazzled by the light
A little wish
oh would you be blind
Black glass
And again I see my face
What can I do since we are ugly
Before the middle of a deep fall

And under masks it gets hard
Black glass is everywhere
It is forgotten how beautiful you
were
Black glass
I am dazzled by the light
A little wish
oh would you be blind
Black glass
and again I see my face
What can I do since we are ugly

"Mutter" (Mother) 2001
Now, dear children, pay attention

I am the voice from the pillow
I have brought you something
I ripped it from my chest
With this heart I have the power

To blackmail the eyelids
I sing until the day awakes
A bright light on the heavens
My heart burns
They come to you in the night

Demons, ghosts, black fairies
They creep out of the cellar shaft
And will look under your bedding

I have brought you something
My heart burns
They come to you in the night

And steal your small hot tears
They wait until the moon awakes
And put them in my cold veins

I sing until the day awakes
My heart burns
My heart burns
Links 234 :: Left 234
Can you break hearts

can hearts speak
can you torture hearts
can you steal hearts
They want my heart on the right spot

but then I look below
it beats left there
Can hearts sing

can a heart burst
can hearts be pure
can a heart be made of stone

it beats left there
left two three four left *
Can you ask hearts

(can you) carry a child under yourself
can you give it away
(can you) think with your heart

it beats there in the left breast
the envious have not known it well
Left two three four left
* "Left two three four" is as in an army chant for

marching.
Sonne :: Sun
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, out
Everyone is waiting for the light

be afraid, don't be afraid
the sun is shining out of my eyes
it will not set tonight
and the world counts loudly to ten
One
Here comes the sun
Two
Here comes the sun
Three
It is the brightest star of them all
Four
Here comes the sun
The sun is shining out of my hands

it can burn, it can blind you all
when it breaks out of the fists
it lays down hotly on the face
it will not set tonight
One
Here comes the sun

Here comes the sun

it can burn, it can blind you
when it breaks out of the fists
it lays down hotly on your face
it lays down painfully on your chest
balance is lost
it lets you go hard to the floor
One

Feuer frei! :: Fire!
Whoever knows pain becomes criticized

From the fire that burned up the skin
I throw a light in my face
A hot cry
Fire! *
Bang bang
Whoever knows pain is raised

From the fire that burns in desire
A hard thrust (that gives off sparks) into her womb
A hot cry
Fire!
Bang bang
Fire!
Whoever knows pain is dangerous

From the fire that burns the soul
Bang bang
The burned child is dangerous
With fire that separates from the life
A hot cry
Bang bang
Fire!
Your happiness
It is not my happiness
It is my misery
Bang bang
Fire!
* "Feuer frei!" is the German expression used to order
weapons to be fired, as in
"Fire!"
Mutter :: Mother
The tears of a crowd of very old children

I string them on a white hair
I throw the wet chain into the air
and wish that I had a mother
no sun shines for me
There was no breast that cried milk
There is a tube that sticks in my throat
I have no navel on my stomach
Mother
I was not allowed to lick any nipples

and there was no fold to hide in
no one gave me a name
fathered in haste and without sperm
I have sworn tonight
For the mother that never gave birth to me
I will send her a sickness
and afterwards let her sink in the river
Mother
An eel lives in her lungs

on my forehead, a birthmark
I remove it with the kiss of a knife
even if it causes me to die
Mother
An eel lives in her lungs

on my forehead, a birthmark
I remove it with the kiss of a knife
even if it causes me to bleed to death
Mother
Oh give me strength
Spieluhr :: Music Box
A small human only pretends to die

It wanted to be completely alone
The small heart stood still for hours
So they decided it was dead
It is being buried in wet sand *
With a music box in its hand
The first snow covers the grave

It woke the child very softly
In a cold winter night
The small heart is awakened
As the frost flew into the child

It wound up the music box
A melody in the wind
And the child sings from the ground
Up and down, rider **

And no angel climbs down
My heart does not beat anymore
Only the rain cries on the grave
Up and down, rider
The cold moon, in full magnificence

It hears the cries in the night
Between hard oak boards

It will play with the music box
Up and down, rider

Up and down, rider
Up and down, rider

On Totensonntag they heard ***

This melody from god's field ****
Then they unearthed it
They saved the small heart in the child
Up and down, rider

And the child sings on the ground
Up and down, rider
* The verb "verscharren" means to bury, specifically

without ceremony
** "Hoppe hoppe Reiter" is a line from a German children's
song. "Hoppe hoppe"
is slang for up and down, as in the movement when you are
riding a horse.
*** "Totensonntag" translates to "Sunday of the dead".
This is a holiday
celebrated on the last Sunday before Advent in November.
It is the day when
protestant christians remember their dead. Information
taken from here.
**** "Gottesacker" means "god's field" but refers to a
graveyard.
Zwitter :: Hermaphrodite
I have stolen a kiss from her

She wanted to get it back
I have not let her go again
We melted into one piece
It is just too right for me
I am a beautiful bisexual
Two souls under my chest
Two genders, one lust
Hermaphrodite, hermaphrodite
I go differently through the day

I am the most beautiful person of them all
I see marvelous things
I did not notice them before
I can make myself happy everyday
I can send myself roses
There is no second and no third
One and one that is the same
I am so in love
I am so in love with myself
One for me
One for you
Is there not one
For me
One for me
One for you
One and one
That's me
I am alone but not alone

I can be together with myself
Early I kiss my reflection
And at night I fall asleep with myself
When the others searched for girls
I could already fertilize myself
I am not even downhearted then
When one tells me "fuck yourself"
I am so in love
I am so in love with myself
One for me
One for you
Is there not one
For me
One for me
One for you
One and one
That's me
Rein raus :: In out
I am the rider
You are the horse
I climb on
We ride off
You moan
I whisper to you
An elephant in the eye of a needle
In, out
I am the rider
You are the horse
I have the key
You have the lock
The door opens
I enter
Life can be so splendorous
In, out
Deeper, deeper
Say it! Say it loud!
Deeper, deeper
I am well within your skin
And a thousand elephants break out
The ride was short

I am sorry
I climb off
I have no time
I must go now to the other horses
They also want to be ridden
In, out
In (deeper)
Out (deeper)
Adios :: Goodbye
He lays the needle in the vein

and he asks the music to come inside
between his throat and forearm
the melody travels softly in the bones
Go!
He has closed his eyes

a battle rages in his blood
an army marches through his bowel
the intestines become warm slowly
Go!
Nothing is for you

nothing was for you
nothing remains for you
forever
He takes the needle from the vein

the melody travels out of the skin
violins burn with shrieking
harps cut the flesh
he has opened his eyes
but he is not awake
Nothing is for you

nothing was for you
nothing remains for you
forever
Nebel :: Mist
They stand with their arms tightly around each other

A mixture of flesh, so rich in days
Where the sea touches the land
She wants to tell him the truth
But the wind eats her words

Where the sea ends
She holds his hand, trembling
And kissed him on the forehead
She carries the evening in her chest

And knows that she must wither away
She lays her head in his lap
And asks for a last kiss
And then he kissed her

Where the sea ends
Her lips, delicate and pale
And his eyes tear up
The last kiss

Was so long ago
The last kiss
He does not remember it anymore

Rammstein

Till Lindemann - vocals

Herzeleid ["Heartache"] 1995

Sehnsucht ["Longing"] 1997

Live Aus Berlin

Mutter ["Mother"] 2001

01 Wolt ihr das bett in Flamen Sehen

Do you want to see the bed in flames

You see the crosses on the pillow

02 Der Meister ["The Master"]

Because the night lay dying

The truth is a chorus of wind

03 Weisses Fleisch ["White Flesh"]

You in the school yard

Your white flesh excites me so

My black blood, your white flesh

Now you are scared and I am ready

My father was just like me

04 Asche zu Asche ["Ashes to Ashes"]

Warm body, hot cross, false judgment, cold grave

Come in my boat, a storm is rising and the night is coming

06 Du Riechst So Gut ["You Smell So Good"]

You smell so good, I'll find you

07 Das Alte Leid ["The Old Pain"]

On the board and into the light

On the board and into nothingness

08 Heirate Mich ["Marry Me"]

You see him creeping around the church.

Save each other from heartache

Because even when you are united by many years

Save each other from loneliness

He loves his mother

He loves his sister

He loves the dog

Mother was taken by the sea

Rammstein/a human being(man) burns/

2nd album - Sehnsucht

Let me ride your tear

Let me ride your tear

Who in his lifetime is good on Earth

First when the clouds go to sleep

They live behind the horizon

First when the clouds go to sleep

He will go to his daughter

what are you doing

what does a woman

She dips the feather in his blood

What are you doing

04 Bestrafe Mich ["Punish Me"]

The lord does give

your greatness makes me small

your greatness makes me small

05 Du Hast ["You Have"]

Will you until death seperates you,

Will you until death seperates you,

06 Bck Dich ["Bend Down"]

Bend down I order you

a two-legged on all fours

the face doesn't interest me

The two-leg has bent down now

The two-leg stammers a prayer

Bend down I order you

07 Spiel Mit Mir ["Play With Me"]

In front of the bed a black hole
