"Augen auf!" (English: "Eyes Open!") is the first single from the German industrial metal group Oomph!'s album Wahrheit oder Pflicht, and their first released under the GUN label. It is often considered the best-known Oomph! song and brought the band commercial success. The song topped the German Singles Chart for five weeks and the Austrian Singles Chart for four weeks. "Augen auf!" was certified gold in both countries.

A version of the song with English lyrics was featured on the compilation album Truth or Dare in 2010, under the new title "Ready or Not (I'm Coming)." The song featured slightly altered lyrics instead of being a direct German-to-English translation. It was featured on the soundtrack for the video game FIFA 2005[1]
