MISERY INDEX lyrics : "Angst Isst Die Seele Auf"

Thrust into this competition naked and undone
Back to back
Yet divided on our own

Fear breeding fear
Exploding pressures on
We're locked away in self-made chains


Run out through the windows and into the streets
Terror abounds as each man lives in fear

Dread consumes their day
The public is passive
Inactive

And lame
Lock up the doors and let out the wolves
A fratricidal race

Given the chance you'd sit down to eat
Yet conciousness is sacrificed
This alter is never short on heads

Stare in his eyes
Your brother - this man
Yet your fear will breed resentment

Why can't you say a word?

Zu Hause wie im Krieg,

Waffen und Hass zuhauf

Casualties of human life drift in the crowds

They're standing on the margins - nullified
Outside the world keeps turning under the sun
While inside the sould is boiling over


This hate for the other is hate for yourself
The cancer condition

The dead-end ambition
You'll eat yourself alive
Submit to the anger

The coming of vengeance
The cult of uncaring
The chaos of living

And face this world alone
The hooks in your mouth now you'll swallow the bait
Distorting your vision

You'll drink from their poison
So ripened for this fall
You take from the worst and give up the best

But never forget you're a human being...you breathe
But can you think?


Zu Hause wie im Krieg
Waffen und Hass zuhauf
In den Kopfen nur Furcht

Angst isst die Seele auf

The truth is something made

Not something that's found
So burn all inhibitions to the ground
These politics of dread are a hammer to the head

A life of fear is life among the dead...
These barriers are built for us to tear them down.
