Lyrics

[Songtext zu „Zeig dich“]

[Intro: Chor]
Exmustamus, cruchifixus
Murisuri, extraspection
Exmustamus, cruchifixus
Lumine, extraspection
Exmustamus, cruchifixus
Murisuri, extraspection, extraspection

[Strophe 1: Till Lindemann]
Verlangen, verfluchen
Verdammen, Versuchung
Verdammnis versprechen
Verüben sie Verbrechen
Verheißung verkünden
Vergebung aller Sünden
Verbreiten und vermehren
Im Namen des Herren

[Bridge: Till Lindemann]
Zeig dich!

[Strophe 2: Till Lindemann]
Verstecken, verzichten
Verbrennen und vernichten
Verhütung verboten
Verstreuen sie Gebote
Verfolgung verkünden
Vergebung der Sünden
Verbreiten, sich vermehren
Im Namen des Herren
[Bridge: Till Lindemann]
Zeig dich!
Zeig dich!

[Refrain: Till Lindemann]
Zeig dich! Versteck dich nicht
Zeig dich! Wir verlieren das Licht
Zeig dich! Kein Engel in der Not
Kein Gott zeigt sich, der Himmel färbt sich rot

[Strophe 3: Till Lindemann]
Verfehlung verfolgen
Verführung vergelten
Vergnügen verpönt
Verlogen und verwöhnt
Aus Versehen sich
An Kindern vergehen
Verbreiten und vermehren
Im Namen des Herren

[Bridge: Till Lindemann]
Zeig dich!
Zeig dich!

[Refrain: Till Lindemann]
Zeig dich! Versteck dich nicht
Zeig dich! Wir verlieren das Licht
Zeig dich! Kein Engel in der Not
Und kein Gott zeigt sich, der Himmel färbt sich rot
[Outro: Chor & Till Lindemann]
Exmustamus, cruchifixus
Murisuri, extraspection
Exmustamus, murisuri
Extraspection, extraspection
Zeig dich!
