For those who're good in life there will
Be life past their death as an angel
You should look up and contemplate
Why you can't see the angels' place
Look up here when the high clouds sleep
See us up here where we weep
Alone and so afeared are we
An angel's the last thing I'll ever be
Beyond the light is where they stay
They're infinitely far away
From their stars they cannot stray (hold tight)
So they will not lose their way
Look up here when the high clouds sleep
See us up here where we weep
Alone and so afeared are we
An angel's the last thing I'll ever be
Look up here when the high clouds sleep
See us up here where we weep
Alone and so afeared are we
An angel's the last thing I'd ever be

This has grown on me. I actually like it now.
I've mixed it up a bit with the last thing in this version though. I've made the first few choruses 'last thing I'll ever be', rather than 'last thing I'd ever be'. The reason for this is it maintains a certain degree of ambiguity about the usage of last until the end...not that any Rammstein fan finds the song remotely ambiguous where the desires of the character are concerned. I'm just pretending this is a crunchy new song, despite it being more than a decade old, and thoroughly thrashed, as well as recorded in English previously.
*sigh*
