Translation of the song lyrics Zion - Söhne Mannheims

Zion (original)

Ich schwiege aus Vorsicht und lauschte eurem Unwissen.
Ihr habt es nicht zu vermuten gewagt.
Damit mein Heil hervorbricht hab ich es an mich gerissen und habe Zion als
erster gesagt.
Auf ihren Plätzen singt man Jubellieder.
Ihr grün ist schöner als ein Smaragd
(ihr grün ist schöner als ein Smaragd).
Wie Amethyste strahlen ihre Flieder,
wer sie findet hat Gerechtigkeit gejagt (hat Gerechtigkeit gejagt).
Hat sie gejagt und gefunden, hat gefahren überwunden.
Um zu erkunden wo Heilung aller Wunden.
Die Zeit zählt keine Stunden.
Kein Zahn der Zeit.
Wir drehen unsere ersten Runden, und hörn wer ihren Namen preist.
Ich schwiege aus Vorsicht und lauschte eurem Unwissen.
Ihr habt es nicht zu vermuten gewagt.
Damit mein Heil hervorbricht hab ich es an mich gerissen und habe Zion als
erster gesagt.
I’m searching for the truth in the world’s fabrication.
Had me looking for the
light like some sort of secret location.
But God is gracious he gave me Zion
for protection.
Not a place or a person, but a deeper meditation.
When the system falls and Zion stands in all its splendor.
Protecting I and I he will be our infinite defender.
The earth, the very vessel of compassionate
authority.
He’s showing me the depth of his infinite complexity.
I keep it simple.
Draw and paint the perfect picture.
We’re living testament
and making us part of his scripture.
Let us drink from the fountain of his
healing, I’m content.
The holy place is Zion.
A gift that god sent.
Zion
Ich schwiege aus Vorsicht und lauschte eurem Unwissen.
Ihr habt es nicht zu vermuten gewagt.
Damit mein Heil hervorbricht hab ich es an mich gerissen und habe Zion als
erster gesagt.
Ich schwiege aus Vorsicht und lauschte eurem Unwissen.
Ihr habt es nicht zu vermuten gewagt.
Damit mein Heil hervorbricht hab ich es an mich gerissen und habe Zion als
erster gesagt.

(translation)

I kept silent out of caution and listened to your ignorance.
You didn't dare to guess.
So that my salvation may break forth I have taken it upon myself and have Zion as
first said.
Songs of jubilation are sung in their seats.
Her green is more beautiful than an emerald
(their green is more beautiful than an emerald).
Her lilacs shine like amethysts,
Whoever finds them has been chasing justice (has been chasing justice).
She hunted and found her, conquered dangers.
To explore where healing of all wounds.
Time doesn't count hours.
No ravages of time.
We do our first rounds, and hear who praises her name.
I kept silent out of caution and listened to your ignorance.
You didn't dare to guess.
So that my salvation may break forth I have taken it upon myself and have Zion as
first said.
