Discover the story of the song > Der Himmel brennt – Wolfgang Petry

The song is about a man who is feeling terrible and is drinking beer alone in his room. He is upset because his partner has left him and he is left alone to deal with his pain. He sings about how he thought they would face their problems together but now he is left to burn in the fire alone. The chorus talks about how the sky is on fire and the angels have fled, and how he is suffocating in the smoke, while he waits for his partner to come back. Ultimately, he realizes that the heaven they wanted is burning down and nothing of importance is left.
