Rotterdam In Flames
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Look, high in the sky
The vultures are back
And at full speed they ride the heavens
God, they're losing their minds
Why do they attack?
The unspeakable shadows came as a surprise
They came by the hundred
They arrived without warning
The bringers of storm, predators of warfare
There soon will be bloodshed
The streets will be blood red
The Luftwaffe is ready to strike with full power
'I can still remember the warning siren…
There was much light, yet we stood in utter darkness'
Look, it started to rain
Big bombs like droplets
But this puddle won't be precisely of water
Debris all around
Ashes and dust
A domino city just waiting to fall
Fall like Rome or Constantinople
Fall like the Tower or outrageous Sodom
Mother of Sorrow
Come ease their pain
For your children will see no tomorrow
Pre-chorus:
Death from beyond
Death from above
Chorus:
Rotterdam, Rotterdam in flames
Rotterdam, hell's breath on Earth
Rotterdam, Rotterdam in flames
Rotterdam, nothing will be the same.
In the middle of May, 1940
When no one saw it coming
Carpet bombing shattered Rotterdam
An unfair game won by stalemate
The Stukas wiped out almost every trace
Of a great city so rich in history
Of the many souls that died there
Of the heart that lost its essence
"Een Stad zonder hart..."
Repeat pre-chorus
Chorus 2:
Rotterdam, Rotterdam in flames
Rotterdam, hell's breath on Earth
Rotterdam, Rotterdam in flames
Rotterdam, gone all the same
Repeat chorus 1
Again.
