Totkörperkunst lyrics
(English Translation)

Before time makes you ugly -
Show me your body!

... and it's beautiful, your body is so beautiful
It would be even more beautiful if it stayed that way forever
I'll help you with it, I'm ready for you
Take it from you the fear and give you eternity

God has given me my hands
They judge the flesh, remove the life
Seal the skin, keep the appearance
What remains of you becomes for always be like this

They say that time heals all wounds, but they lie
Only I, all alone, have found the true path

And it is beautiful, so beautiful Your body
It would be even more beautiful if it stayed here forever
First I'll make you last, then I'll join you
You'll be here with the others forever

And only I - can see you
Because the world is not ready
To go my way

Life itself is overrated
It is not important, has no value
For one Just a moment, you are beautiful
And this - moment - will pass quickly

Because time is destroying you
It takes away your beautiful shell
And the spirit that animates it
However, I can save the shell
And remove the spirit that torments it

As you are now, that's how you will be forever
Standing in your full bloom, here in the light
And a tender smile
Will decorate your face forever
I will do it for you
Because even God can't do that

You shall become - dead body art -
This is your meaning and purpose, here on earth
Dead body art - will never go away
Outlast the times and survive humanity

You lie there quietly, your life - disappearing
Die of an overdose until death finds you
And the breath - leaves you forever
Close your eyes and give yourself a kiss
I then take the scalpel in my hand
Sit down it and open your chest

Soft, soft - inner life
Blood and entrails - you should give me
Everything that stinks has to come out of you
I give the splendor of eternity in return

Only when I have done all the miracles on you
I look at you - in peace

... and it is beautiful, your body is so beautiful
And the best thing about it that it always stays that way
I helped you with it, I was ready for you
Took away your fear and gave you eternity

Through my hands, which God gave me
I accomplished it Miracle, removed your life
Polished the skin, kept the appearance
What remains of you will be like this forever

And only I - I alone can see you
For the world is not ready
To go my way

... and you are beautiful, you are just a body
The soul went away, that's all that remains
I made you last and joined you
You will be here with the others forever

And now it ends - for me too
My earthly existence must give way forever
I will prepare myself
Become one - with my beautiful corpses

The machines - are just waiting for me
I have programmed all the computers

Life goes, my heart breaks
Only my shell becomes preserved

This be my will, I am ready
Dead body art - for eternity

I want to wait for you down here
Without light, without life -
In the Darkness...
