Notes

• ^{^[a]} In English, "Himmelfahrt" literally means "journey to heaven" or "ascension". In the context of the lyrics it is used in, it means the sense of doing something where the chances of surviving are slim to none.
• ^{^[b]} "Tanz auf dem Vulkan" means "to live on the edge", but literally it translates into "dance on the volcano".
