Feuer Frei! (English)
Rammstein · Other Songs - Rammstein
from the fire that burned up the skin
I throw a light in my face
a hot cry
open fire!
Bang bang
Whoever knows pain is raised
from the fire that burns in desire
a hard thrust (that gives off sparks) into her womb
a hot cry
open fire!
Bang bang
open fire!
Whoever knows pain is dangerous
from the fire that burns the soul
bang bang
the burned child is dangerous
with fire that separates from the life
a hot cry
bang bang
open fire!
Your happiness
is not my happiness
it is my misery
Bang bang
open fire!
Feuer Frei! (English)
Rammstein's 'Feuer Frei!' (English) stands as a pivotal moment in the band's evolution, marking their first official English-language release. Originally recorded in 1997, the track was later featured on the 2004 compilation 'Rammstein Live in Berlin,' where it served as a bridge between their intense industrial metal roots and broader international accessibility. The song retains the band's signature blend of heavy distortion, rhythmic precision, and Ralf Hütter's commanding vocals, yet it adapts their thematic intensity into a language that resonated with global audiences. By translating the raw energy of 'Rein, Raus' and other early works, the track demonstrated the group's commitment to expanding their discography beyond German borders while maintaining their distinct, aggressive musical identity. It remains a testament to their ability to translate complex industrial sounds into a universally understood format.
