Verse Branches wove a tent above us The edge of dawn glowed red in the east The ridge rose up in a rocky ridge Only a mutant deer could overcome such To the nearest village, three days' journey Canned food was running out, the network was gone But we continued to go forward Me and about seven kids with me Stormy rivers through the labyrinth of Nemerichi Strange signs on the boulders, as if a stone carver had worked on them with a chisel And we should go faster to make it before dark Set up a bivouac (Break down a bivouac) Something is hallucinating in the intertwining of branches And the fist was covered with goosebumps (What?) Shout or not shout, if something happens, no one will find you The sun barely shines and the wind freezes the face, like a turbocharger The backpack dug into my shoulders with its straps Either a wheeze or a snore escapes my chest On the shore of a nameless lake We discovered a half-ruined temple

Chorus Where God is dead (God is dead), God is dead (God is dead) I instantly realized: in this place God is dead (God is dead) God is dead (God is dead), God is dead (God is dead) I immediately understood: in this ancient place God is dead (What?) God is dead (God is dead), God is dead (God is dead) I instantly realized: in this place God is dead (God is dead) God is dead (God is dead), God is dead (God is dead) I immediately understood: in this ancient place God is dead
