Stein Um Stein

I have plans, big plans
I'm building you a house
Every stone is a tear
And you'll never move out

Yes, I'm building a little house for you
It has no windows, no door
Inside it will be dark
No light will come in at all

Yes, I'm creating a home for you
And you shall be part of the whole

Stone by stone
I wall you in
Stone by stone
I will always be with you

Without clothes, without shoes
You watch me work
With your feet in cement
You beautify the foundation

Outside there will be a garden
And no one will hear you scream

Stone by stone
I wall you in
Stone by stone
I will always be with you
I will always be with you

What a knocking, what a hammering
Outside it starts to dawn
All nails are tight
When I ram them into your body wood

Stone

Stone by stone
I wall you in
Stone by stone
I wall you in
Stone by stone
I wall you in
Stone by stone
And no one hears you scream
