This is one of the best vocal performances I've ever heard and it maddens me that it's not more well-known!

I cannot get over how much they missed the point of the original version when translating it, it's almost hilarious. One thing I love about this song is that Alfred doesn't think of himself as the hero who is there to save the damsel in distress. The song is originally not so much about doing whatever it takes to rescue Sarah, which this translation heavily leans into, but rather how Alfred has grown as a person and will continue to be brave and be there for her despite his fear. He's kind of hyping himself up and recognizing that all he has done has been on behalf of Sarah. It reaches beyond their current predicament and really depicts Alfred as more than just a scared, lovesick, naïve character. To me, nothing about his character (overall and in this song) screams "sacrificial angel" or willing to commit acts of violence to prove himself a hero like this version does. It's just such an empty translation that completely leaves out all the wonderful complexities the original has. (I do however love Max's voice on this song)

To be honest Alfred is the good Guy in the Story and a Angel maybe Not a " sacrifical Angel"but an Angel. In my Opinion the english Lyrics Shows also how He would doing everything for His beloved Sarah and in a better way of gramatic than the German Lyrics, it's a great Song even in German, but their is a passage i got cringe all the Time.

I love Max Von Essen in this song. I first discovered him in Anastasia when he was replacing Ramin as Gleb and when I found out he was in the American version of this show I was sooo excited. I’m not a fan of how they changed the entire concept of this show for Broadway but I do love Max in this role

Is it just me or is this translation a lot more violent than the German version?!? The original is all about how Alfred is afraid and wants to leave, but he's mustering up the courage to stay to find Sarah. Here they've got him promising to "slash and burn" to find Sarah... Just an observation, but I think it takes a little bit away from the song. I really like Max von Essen's rendition though.

Back at the time (In old American film or story), It is by tradition that every villian must die in a violent way to qual with the same pain over what the protagonist felt after lost.

unfathomable that the translation is so bad, this production of the show is so bad, the direction of this scene is so bad, and yet max von essen is giving the most spirited performance of this song i have ever heard. hes going for the tony. unfortunately hes in dance of the vampires
