Blut Vom Himmel

In these days the fuse is burning

Slow decay of peacetime

To the south a beast of vengeance

Near to the east is the hungry wolf

I puff my pipe in the sunset and feel the warmth it provides

A chilling breeze like an omen

Of wintertime tells me we're near the fall

This war of partition, like wolves at the slaughter

Ripping limb from limb in a frenzy

Flesh and bone pulled apart

You see the odds stacked against

You, this time there's no way out

Prussia's rise to higher standing

Will fucking burn to a backwater state

No! As days go by, I feel the weight of man's design

A plan to win, to keep our heads above the tide

To take it all one day at at time

Let there be light

Let there be nothing

To shield the blood from heaven

Es werde licht

Es werde nichts

Um das blut vom himmel abschirmen

For years we've suffered

For years we've sacrificed our sons

And brothers to defend our very being

Nobody hears the cries of the common

Man who gives his life and suffers hell to come

Fire! We will push on, through smoke

And chaos swirling 'round our horses' feet

No! This can't be right

We'll guide the fight from safety here at this climax

And so they're broken, but reunited

Shattering all that gave them hell

We're fleeing on the run

Nothing for me, I plunge my sword

Into the ground and make a stand

Even if I die, I'll fight alone

You see the masses, don't lose your mind

We have to flee into the fray

Into the womb of everything we love

Despite my loyalty and everything I've given

The battle's lost and hope is fading like a dream

This is not a simple tale

-We are heavy hearted souls

When one speaks to you of death

-Our flesh is of the earth

Never trust the words they say

-Not just paintings on the wall

Lest you speak unto a soldier

-Not just stories that you hear

-And we stand naked, so exposed

Constant fire, never safe

-Bullets kill the men beside me

Valor here means just not running

-All is gray, I have to run

Quell your fears, we have to stand

-Keep formation, no matter what

Raise your muskets, unleash hell!

Madness thrives in empty hearts

I will overcome my grief and carry on

And fuel the furnace of hearts

Prussians all together as one

United underneath the flag you mended

Russians furious and still divided

Elizabeth soon will die in rotten linen

-Struggle in a storm to catch your breath

-Courage never goes unrewarded

Seven years we've fought and failed to win

-And seven more will come to pass if you don't learn to yield

Never will austria forget its pains

-Never will you forget the iron kingdom's wrath

A soldier sacrifices for the common good

His health and limbs, his strength and life

He has the right to claim some benefits

For those he fought and died for

His pains and screams, his blood and sweat

There is no higher price

As the raven flies

A tear into my eye

Weathered the storm and wait upon the dawn

To puff my pipe again and have another drink

Duality of man will be the wraith that haunts our race
