[English]

Higher and higher you're taking me

To outer dimensions (dimensions)

...

Feed me your vibrations

Your spirit over me

You're filled with the sensation

As you revive me

Intercept my darkness

Make my weakness fade away

With you I sense perfection again

(Your beautiful deeds)

(I cannot be deceived)

Higher and higher you're taking me

To outer dimensions, dimensions

Faster and faster you'rе bringing me

The key to salvation, salvation

I wanna fly by your sidе

To the outer dimensions

As the misery draws closer

You're there to save me

From delusion and deception

I walk beside you

Wrap yourself around me

And the tremors will abandon me

I'm feeling the sensation again

(Your beautiful deeds)

(I cannot be deceived)

Higher and higher you're taking me

To outer dimensions, dimensions

Faster and faster you're bringing me

The key to salvation, salvation

I wanna fly by your side

To the outer dimensions

...

You're taking me places

I just want to be where you are

One thousand reasons

Dimensions can't keep us apart

(Your beautiful deeds)

(I cannot be deceived)

Higher and higher you're taking me

To outer dimensions, dimensions

Faster and faster you're bringing me

The key to salvation, salvation

I wanna fly by your side

To the outer dimensions

...
