Oomph! - Song Of Death Lyrics






(Yeah)

Oh my time is up
I know you're gonna burn me
Your judgment's coiled just like a snake
Around my neck
Oh my time is up
I know you're gonna hang me
And the noose is pulled so tight
That it's hard for me to breathe

Sing me the song of death
Sing me the song of death
Sing me the song

Oh my time is up
My destiny is certain
Your curse floats above me
Like the melody I hear
Oh my time is up
And Heaven's gates are bolted
But now I'm not even sure
If they want me down in Hell

Sing me the song of death
Sing me the song of death
Sing me the song (Sing me the song)
Of death (Of death)
Sing me the song (Sing me the song)
Of death
Sing me the song

(Sing me the, song of death
Sing me the, song of death)

Grant me one last request
Sing me this song of death

Sing me the song (Sing me the song)
Of death (Of death)
Sing me the song (Sing me the song)
Of death
Sing me the song (Sing me the song)
Sing me the song (Sing me the song)
Sing me the song (Sing me the song)
Sing me the song (Sing me the song)
Of death

    Incredibly awesome.

  9. P.... o....

    I want this to play at my funeral.

  10. r.... ....

    When i listen beginning I want watch once upon time in west.

  11. T.... W....

    Meh, I prefer a lot of their English shit honestly, I like it in both but they sound great in English.

  12. A.... F....

    would make more sense if you just raped the bitches...lol.

  13. E.... ....

    To be honest with y'all, I couldn't care less about what language it's sung in. It sounds awesome anyway.

  14. M.... ....

    I love how they sing in German, but since I don´t speak the language I feel it "closer" if they sing in English, like you don´t have to guess what they say all the time cause even if you translate it somewhere, German has a different word order and you don´t get many expressions unless someone translates it for you.

  15. t.... ....

    Dero usually sounds like a bitch in English which why everyone prefers him in german but this is pretty good.

  16. A.... ....

    "The German versions better" Well yessss... Originals normally are, plus it's they're native language AND was written to be sung in German originally... Of course it's not gonna sound the same... ._.

  17. A.... S....

    in my opinion i think english is better

  18. B.... ....


    I love this album

  19. C.... F....

    Love Oomph!

  20. N.... T....

    @LiebeItai Exactly i just barley got in to these guy's and I've noticed that.

  21. H.... ....

    @LiebeItai I completely agree. I have notitced that with not just Oomph or just bands from Germany. It is anywhere international that most people who just know English find bands that sing in a different lanuage find them more appeal because they don't understand it themselves so they really don't know the meaning to the song itself.

  22. S.... ....

    @LiebeItai I love both the English and German songs. They're beautiful whether I can understand them or not. A truly versatile group. :)

  23. R.... M....

    They use parts from the Once upon a time in the west soundtrack in the instrumental

  24. E.... ....

    It sounds like they're talking about a withch trial almost. 'I know your gonna burn me' 'I know youur gonna hang me'. That is what they did back then! I adore this song ^.^

  25. G.... M....

    @cellomama92 hey dude, it's a song. stop crying over one little thing and just enjoy it. Whether they're saying The Noose or Song of Death doesn't matter. It's still a freaking amazing song. So chill

  26. r.... ....

    @cellomama92 the chorus of the original is Speil Mir Das Lied Vom Tod meaning Play me the song of death "Sing Me The Song Of Death" isn't that much different so they changed the title to Song Of Death rather than The Noose so what? I don't see what all the fuss is about the lyrics haven't been changed that much at all really they just made it sound a bit more poetic than a literal translation they still mean the same thing

  27. G.... M....

    @cellomama92 so am I. I love Oomph!, but I don't get why people freak out over the English versions. There's no way a song in German would be the exact same in English. Oomph! actually did a REALLY good job translating their songs, unlike most artists who do the same thing. So kudos to you Oomph!

  28. G.... M....

    @cellomama92 boo freaking hoo

  29. S.... ....

    @LiebeItai Amen!

  30. L.... G....

    hmm....I still prefer the German version. I think it sounds more natural for the song maybe because that's the version I heard first and I'm most used to, but of all their redone English versions i still find this one the best so far.

  31. M.... F....

    i actully dont mind this version. it is similar to the german version, unlike most of the songs on this CD

  32. S.... ....

    @EngelVerloren Well, that's your opinion. To someone who isn't fluent in the language it sounds very threatening.

  33. E.... ....

    @MrsCamui So the german version is supposed to be threatening.. cause if it was.. then it failed.. it was creepy and not threatening lol but a great song, and the english version is also good well in my opinion.

  34. S.... R....

    In my opinion this song in German is better. And the lyrics aren`t the same. Every song, what was singing in german then in english in german is better.
    AVE

  35. S.... ....

    @Inebriatedenigma Labyrinth to me sounsd less threatening in the English version. It's more creepy then. With this one I get more of a sense of total abandon for ones life then in the German version.

  36. C.... W....

    @MrsCamui I dunno, Labyrinth seems to be the best matched one that I've seen. This one works but the overall flow of the song has been effected.

  37. S.... ....

    Usually the German versions are better then English in Oomph's case, but this is the best english version of any song they've done for their music I think.

    And when Song of Death vs. Die Schlinge, seems pretty close in my opinion.
