The wait is finally over - Rammstein have announced that their first album in a decade will drop on May 17! On top of that, they've released the first single called 'Deutschland', along with a very cinematic and NSFW music video which is sure to rustle a few jimmies (in classic Rammstein fashion).
Clocking in at almost ten minutes, 'Deutschland' features imagery of the band in a stylised holocaust, at one point shooting some nazis in the face at point blank range. The song itself is excellent too, but don't take our word for it - check it out for yourself (although maybe not at work):
The lyrics have been translated to English by Genius and are as follows:
[Stanza 1]
You (you have, you have, you have, you have) You have
cried a lot (weeping, crying, crying, crying)
Separated in the mind (separated, separated, separated, separated)
Im Heart united (united, united, united, united)
We (we are, we are, we are, we are)
Are already very long together (you are, you are, you are, you are)
Your breath cold (so cold, so cold, so cold, so cold)
The heart in flames (so hot, so hot, so hot, so hot)
You (you can, you can, you can, you can)
Me (I know, I know, I know , I know)
We (we are, we are, we are, we are)
you (you stay, you stay, you stay, you stay)
[refrain]
Germany – my heart in flames
Wants to love you and damn
Germany – your breath cold
So young, and yet so old
Germany!
[Stanza 2]
I (you have, you have, you have, you have)
I never want to leave you (you cry, you cry, you cry, you cry)
You can love you (you love, you love, you love, you love)
and wants to hate you (you hate, you hate, you hate, you hate)
arrogant, superior
takeover, surrender
surprise,
Germany, Germany invades all
[Refrain]
Germany – my heart in flames
Wants to love you and damn
Germany – your breath cold
So young, yet so old
Germany – your love
is curse and blessing
Germany – my love
I can not give you
Germany!
Germany!
[Bridge]
You
I
We
You
You (overpowering superfluous)
I ( Superman, tired)
we (who rises up, which is deep fall)
your (Germany, Germany above all)
[Chorus]
Germany – my heart on fire
Will love you and damn
Germany – your breath cold
So young, and yet so old
Germany – your love
is curse and blessing
Germany – my love
I can not give you
Germany!
The new album doesn't have a title yet or any sort of artwork to speak of, but this info is most likely not very far off!
So good to have these guys back. What do you think of 'Deutschland'?
Listen to Rammstein now.
