Elis - Der Letzte Tag

Elis is one of many female-fronted metal bands that have replaced vocalists recently. Sadly, in this band's case, it wasn't because of conflicts within the band or artistic differences; Sabine, the singer in this song, died in 2006 of a cerebral hemorrhage. The band now has a new vocalist and is still making new music.





Lyrics Translation:

It happened in time
When the Sun made the Earth glow from heat
And the people longed for the night,
For shadows
And relief from their pain

The air is stuffy and still,
The earth shakes in the heat
No wind blows to ease the pain,
Sweat runs from the cold forehead
Fever rages in the pale body,
No wind blows to ease the pain

The night floats by on gentle wings
The last day
Closing the dark eyes with a careful flap of the wings
The night floats by on gentle wings
The silent lament
It fades, powerless and unheard

Dust floats in the hot air
It is difficult to breathe
No wind blows to ease the pain
Praying at his bed lies
His loved one, waiting for the night
No wind blows to ease the pain

It happened in time
And finally the night came

Translation is mine
