- "Ich will" – 3:57
- "Links 2-3-4" – 4:54
- "Sonne" – 4:42
- "Spieluhr" – 5:27
- The Japanese edition had "Hallelujah" as a hidden track, found after "Nebel" (there is a two-minute intermission of silence). The track was later included in Resident Evil soundtrack, but does not appear in the film.
- Another Japanese edition had "Hallelujah" as a 12th track.
- The limited edition had a second CD with just one track, "Hallelujah", and a CD-ROM area featuring the "Sonne" video.
- A 12" vinyl version and a MC version were released, with the same track list (Side A = 1–6; B = 7–11)
- The Limited Tour Edition was also released as a double cassette set, with the second cassette containing the live tracks (Side A = 1–2; B = 3–4).
Note: Some copies that have "Hallelujah" as a hidden track can not be played for unknown reasons. On April 3, 2010 Rammstein posted a video with an official translation of "Hallelujah" on their Facebook page, "in light of recent events".[12]
