See your hands in the air
Thank you
Oh, instrument of God force-fed on ignorance and lies
So blind and narrow-minded that you cannot compromise
Even the most foolish thief should know what he is taking
Lest he finds himself within a cage of his own making
The ways of Wyrd are many and our path you must decide
For the secrets that you seek are all around you, use your eyes
The threads cannot be broken that have brought you here to me
And bind two foes together like the best of enemies
We see you
Come on, Berlin
The best of enemies
Come on, you fucker
Come on, sing for me
ย
You gaze upon me, I can tell what you see
A simple man with simple thoughts and simple needs
Superstition, preying on a mind filled with fear
Opposition to all your enlightened ideas
Yet I will show you more than you can comprehend
Beware, delusion is a dangerous friend
Ask loaded questions seeking
Knowledge of a faith that you wish to pervert
All our values with hidden meanings
You try concealing your underlying wish
To convert heathen souls to a faith that will doubtless
Send our gods to the grave
Mistake you're making overlooking
The fact that we might not want to be saved
Fear is an old friend of mine
We have met many times before
Death is a harsh fact of life
You cannot avoid or ignore
The life force is as strong in you as it is strong in me
The difference is what you hold captive, I set free
You seek to subjugate all those who won't comply
I'll take your prejudice and pride, and show you why
The values that you hold so dear, all your laws and rules
They hold no more sway here than the mutterings of fools
Just look about you, and I'm sure that you will find
Heaven lies within our hearts and hell is but a figment of your mind
Is just a figment of your mind
What is to become of us when truth is turned to lies
Will none remain to wipe the tears
When mother nature cries?
Mother nature cries
Proceed with caution, subservient to all you survey
Hidden dangers await us on each step of our way
Do not falter, for if you do, you will fall
Pray unto perils far worse than you've encountered before
Compared unto the threats we face
Your devil seems so mild
A relic from the fairytales my mother told me as a child
Why do you carry your God like a weapon?
A dagger drawn ready to strike
At the heart of a foe when you
Don't really know the reason that you fight?
To replace our disgrace with
The loving embrace of your Lord
Can't you see that the plans
Made for me and my people, to us seem absurd
Death is the only recourse
I require in my hour of need
See your hands
Impassive, it shows no remorse
For folly and greed
Pre-emptive prejudice has dogmatised your life
These blinkered views that once held true will no longer suffice
For in my world there is no point where you can draw the line
Between good and evil, saint and sinner, damnate and divine
Shaven-headed servant of an infantile faith
By what right do you presume to come and take my place?
If there is one grain of truth amidst your hoard of lies?
This, "Love your neighbour as yourself"
With this alone I can abide
With this alone I can abide
What is to become of us when truth is turned to lies
Will none remain to wipe the tears
When mother nature cries?
Mother nature cries
When living your life like an arrow in flight
You must always accept that the end is in sight
Be grateful at least for the fact that you knew
You came for death, it did not come for you
You are like targets who sit and await
Patiently suffer the arrows of fate
Saying, "I am but mortal and destined to die
I can change nothing, so why should I try?"
Each morning you wake is an ember day dawning
Your penance for living in permanent mourning
By erstwhile ideals your hearts are enslaved
You crawl out of the cradle straight into the grave
What reward is a banquet of red wine and bread
When you hunger for life but on death you are fed?
Hey, Berlin
I can't see you
Still moshing
You people over here, come on
See your hands in the air
Each morning you wake is an ember day dawning
Your penance for living in permanent mourning
By erstwhile ideals your hearts are enslaved
You crawl out of the cradle straight into the grave
Do not underestimate the task you undertake
Overcome your hopes and fears and meet them face to face
These spirits aren't your enemies, but neither are they friends
Do not dare insult them lest all nature you offend
They who were here before us will remain when we have gone
And though we're long forgotten, still, their memory will live on
Perhaps one day mankind will see the error of its ways
And in its future glimpse reflections of our yesterdays
Scream for me
Come on, Berlin
Come on, see you
You can bang it
Danke schon
Thank you
Fucking hell
Deutschland รผber alles
Good night
