Translation
Standing at the gate
I've you are going back all the way
I've seen angels set a table for the son of a king
I've also seen a latter, longing ascending and descending
I've heard winds caressing the leaves
I've seen you, this is no mirage
I've heard the ocean declared a joyful day
I've seen the moon and stars dancing
they too know how to roll back
I've heard the sun is actually a shadow
I've seen a tower shaking and falls
come, we have been waiting for you for too many years
we've gone mad, we've lost face
only getting more and more decayed, so come
yes come, there are no more rules for us to break
we don't know who is sober here
and who is the drunk, who obviously always stumbles into a pit.
so come, yes come
I heard you are actually standing at the gate
and that every innocent lamb could live in the wild, and I've heard
that this heart as well will never perish
imagination would sign a peace accord with reality
and all the notes would combine into one simple melody
come, we have been waiting for you for too many years
we've gone mad, we've lost face
only getting more and more decayed, so come
yes come, there are no more rules for us to break
we don't know who is sober here
and who is the drunk, who obviously always stumbles into a pit.
so come, yes come

Russia is waging a disgraceful war on Ukraine. Stand With Ukraine!
About translator
A very hard song to translate, since it contains so many references to the bible which seems obvious in Hebrew but loose meaning in the translation. even more so since I am not religious or have studied fully the bible, so as to my understanding:
from the beginning, the angels who set the table for the son of the king, the supposed descended of the house of david who would come as a messiah to jerusalem. hence standing at the gates for jerusalem.
the moon and stars dancing, could be the prophecy of Joseph, the tower who shook and fell I would imagine to be the tower of Babylon and so on... hope I did a reasonable job!
