Translating RAMMSTEIN! For fun :) ICH WILL!
Ich will dass ihr mir vertraut - I want you to trust meIch will dass ihr mir glaubt - I want you to believe in me ("belive in me" would be "Ich will das ihr in mich vertraut")
Ich will eure Blicke spüren - I want to feel your gaze
Ich will jeden Herzschlag kontrollieren - I want to control every heart beat
Ich will eure Stimmen hören - I want to listen to hear your voices ("I want to listen to" would mean "Ich möchte euren Stimmen zuhören" which is slightly different)
Ich will die Ruhe stören - I want to disturb the your peace (not "Ich möchte deine / eure Ruhe stören")
Ich will dass ihr mich gut seht - I want you to see me good
Ich will dass ihr mich versteht - I want you to understand me
Ich will eure Phantasie - I want your fantasy
Ich will eure Energie - I want your energy
Ich will eure Hände sehen - I want to see your hands
Ich will in Beifall untergehen - I want to be drowned in your approval
Seht ihr mich? - Do you see me?
Versteht ihr mich? - Do you understand me?
Fühlt ihr mich? - Do you feel me?
Hört ihr mich? - Do you hear me?
Könnt ihr mich hören? - Can you hear me?
Wir hören dich - We hear you
Könnt ihr mich sehen? - Can you see me?
Wir sehen dich - We see you
Könnt ihr mich fühlen? - Can you feel me?
Wir fühlen dich - We feel you
Ich versteh euch nicht - I don't understand you
Ich will, ich will, ich will, ich will - I want, I want, I want, I want
Wir wollen dass ihr uns vertraut - We want you to trust us
Wir wollen dass ihr uns alles glaubt - We want you to believe in us everything
Wir wollen eure Hände sehen - We want you to see your our hands
Wir wollen in Beifall untergehen, ja – We want to drown in your approval, yes
So I know it's difficult with lyrics to get a literal translation, hopefully this is fairly correct and still keeps the meaning of the song :)

very good job, congratulation!
Translating RAMMSTEIN! For fun :) ICH WILL!
Ich will dass ihr mir glaubt - I want you to believe in me (to believe what I say)<-> Ich will dass ihr an mich glaubt - I want you to believe in me (to believe I can succeed, to have faith/trust in me)
Ich will eure Blicke spüren - I want to feel your gaze
I think "your eyes on me" would be the better equivalent. Is gaze not quite similar to stare? Blick can be anything from an intense looking-at-somebody (agressive or non-agressive) to a short peek. It's a neutral-sounding expression if used on its own, and you can make it anything from "wütender Blick" to "verliebter Blick".
Ich will eure Stimmen hören - I want to listen to your voices
Ich will die Ruhe stören - I want to disturb (your peace) the calmness/the silence (it might mean either of those)
Ich will dass ihr mich gut seht - I want you to see me good (I wouldn't have thought this was a possible expression in English, so I cannot really comment, only give you my own, most inelegant translation:
I want you to have a good view of mine.
Siehst du gut? Kannst du gut sehen? = Do you have a good view? (say, of the stage)
Ich will in Beifall untergehen - I want to be drowned in your approval (rather: in your clapping, in your ovations. Beifall or Applaus can also be a metaphor for approval when there is no physical clapping involved, true. But as Rammstein are stage performers, I would take it literal here)
Seht ihr mich, versteht ihr mich etc. I would all tend to translate as "Can you see me, can you understand me etc." because with "do you" it sounds odd to me in English. Would you as a native speaker really ask "Do you see me?"
Wir wollen dass ihr uns alles glaubt - We want you to believe in us us all we say (?)
This is my favourite song by Rammstein:
