Europica - Unsounded Crosses

When storms are getting closer
Towards our lovely land
The frontier-guard is waiting
And longing to defend

What we have built and raised
Can never be erased
The wind is cold, the clouds are dark
The battlefield is hazed

Though winds may blow
The sun is shining as you go
Worlds fall apart
But you stay brave inside your heart
Frontier-guard!
Though winds may blow
The sun is shining as you go
Worlds fall apart
But you stay brave inside your heart
Frontier-guard!

The ancient shady trees
surrounded by the borders
salute you like a friend
If you accept the orders

What we have built and raised
That cannot be erased!
The wind is cold, the clouds are dark
The battlefield is hazed

Though winds may blow
The sun is shining as you go
Worlds fall apart
But you stay brave inside your heart
Frontier-guard!

Tiny the path and winding the lane
All the goals far we 're trying to gain
Heavy the stones to build up the hill
But we build it of free will!

Only the cowered is running from chance
When a battle is waiting we start the offense
When our world is burning, we don 't try to flee
Death to the enemy!

When no longer blood and bones face the shields
You already ride on the heavenly fields
After the night arrives a new day

When a raven's guiding your way
I'm praising the Lord to be one of your crowd
One of the last and one of the proud
Life is a moment in death's mighty hand
To defend your motherland
To defend your motherland
Defend your motherland!

The day dawned cold windy, the sun is almost hiding
Silently a galley on the water waves is gliding
The night was long and shivering, but although our bones are aching,
The fire in our hearts and in our spirits is awaking

But down the line God knows
How long this river flows
If you 're not there in time
To defend the borderline!

Keep your powder dry, fight hand in hand!
if someone´s conquering our fatherland.
Let their fleet be smashed by cannon balls
And beat them ´till the last invader falls

lalalalalaa row and fight!
lalalalalaaaa, until the night!
lalalalalaaa, row and fight!
lalalalalaaaaa

The hills look blank and frightening but the old and shattered sail
Is leading us and guiding us and showing us the trail
The evening comes closer and to the song that I sing
In the twilight spectres and phantoms started rising

But at the lower bound
Rest will not be found
A wine´s making it’s round
And the sun sinks to the ground.

Keep your powder dry, fight hand in hand!
if someone´s conquering our fatherland.
Let their fleet be smashed by cannon balls
And beat them ´till the last invader falls Открыть страницу с текстом

From far the drums are calling
The empire is falling
Flames burning the hands
that built our fatherland

Hear us, our Lord
We claim for our right
To keep our ancient land
And never fear the fight

Shaman's
Ringing voice were lulling our
Cradles
For centuries our souls were forged of
Iron
Our folk went through the bloody fight for
Freedom
We'll always be prepared!

Always look around
When hyenas appear
And try to make you fear
Your old famliar ground

The stars guided our way
Don't let our history burn
We're calling our Gods
And justice to return

A silent song´s resounding in my heart
The wind blows memories to my mournful mind
About a book that´s going to be closed
Our ears are thumb, our eyes are blind

The unknown comes, tomorrow or today
And may destroy here all it can find
A fleeting tear will come into my eyes
When after all I´ll look behind

Silently I sink to my knees
Thoughts running circles round and round
What shall I do? What can I even try
To save my sweet familiar ground

The silent song is getting harsh and loud
The wind is blowing sand in my eyes
The fight will come, I see the darkest cloud
And within me a sad voice cries

Now I see the end getting closer
In the far there´s white caring light
Oh Lord, here´s all I´m praying for:
Not giving up without a fight!

The unknown comes, tomorrow or today
And may destroy here all it can find
A fleeting tear will come into my eyes
When after all I´ll look behind

You don’t belong to us, if you offend your motherland
And forget about the conquered home we had bloodily to defend
You don´t belong to us, if you´re loyal to foreign nations
And give away just piece by piece what we’ve built for generations

You just belong to us, if you don´t try to run away
And don´t fear to keep on fighting here until your dying day
Don´t fear! don´t fear! don´t fear! don´t fear!

You don´t belong to us, if you live your life as a thief
And steal away from the old people their money and belief.
You don´t belong to us, if you don´t care about life
And manslaughter or kill somebody´s little child and wife

You just belong to us, if you don´t try to run away
And don´t fear to keep on fighting here until you dying day
Don´t fear! don´t fear! don´t fear! don´t fear!

You don´t belong to us, if you just bought a home for pelf
And betray us while you´re making some good business for yourself
You don´t belong to us, if you just came to twist the knife
And make a fool of both our religion and our life.

You just belong to us, if you don´t try to run away
And don´t fear to keep on fighting here until you dying day
Don´t fear! don´t fear! don´t fear! don´t fear! Открыть страницу с текстом

„Reginam occidere nolite timere bonum
est si omnes consentiunt ego non contradico”

This is the land that has written its name
With huge fiery letters inside my heart
Surrounded by mountains, surrounded by oceans
Whatever may come, you can´t tear us apart!

This is the land that was sucking the bloodshed
Within our combats for freedom and rights
All martyrs are buried in her bloody arms
A new generation´s prepared for the fights

Whatever is waiting I´m still here at home
I´m one of my nation, I´m never alone
Saluting the moon, saluting the sun
Life always is ending where it´s begun
Saluting the moon, saluting the sun
Life always is ending where it´s begun

This is the land that has given me life
Given me all ever needed by men
That´s bearing and standing the huge hordes of wild wolves
Hungrily grabbing whatever they can

This is the country that´s part of my soul
Bleeding from wounds that no one can ease
Always forgiving, always arising
That´s how she´s living for long centuries

Whatever is waiting I´m still here at home
I´m one of my nation, I´m never alone
Saluting the moon, saluting the sun
Life always is ending where it´s begun
Saluting the moon, saluting the sun
Life always is ending where it´s begun Открыть страницу с текстом

I´m the unflagging old rebel
The outcast the invincible
Inside you hear you hear my yell
My soul is still unbreakable

The ancient chains will fall apart
I feel the fire in my heart
I raise the flag of liberty!
Raised up by fighters and by priests
I won´t be scared of men or beasts
My sword destroys the agony!

The sun shall never rise again
As long as you´re a captive man
The fields and harvest shall grow stale
Until our home is still a jail
Never shall grow the greenest grass
As long as strangers plunder us
Never shall fall bliss-bringing rain
If we don´t fight to win the game!

I saw the conquerors arrive
I saw my folk try to survive
The rivers colour turned to red
Though if the skies will break apart
I keep our history in my heart
Nothing to shame nor to regret

The sun shall never rise again
As long as you´re a captive man
The fields and harvest shall grow stale
Until our home is still a jail
Never shall grow the greenest grass
As long as strangers plunder us
Never shall fall bliss-bringing rain
If we don´t fight to win the game!

The past is falling to the ground
Who bears its burden can´t be found
The future´s birth is full of pain
The opportunists gained their soil
Our weakened mind will be their spoil
Don´t let them win their dirty game!

The sun shall never rise again
As long as you´re a captive man
The fields and harvest shall grow stale
Until our home is still a jail
Never shall grow the greenest grass
As long as strangers plunder us
Never shall fall bliss-bringing rain
If we don´t fight to win the game! Открыть страницу с текстом

A frozen breeze is blowing through the land
Where endless lines of still crosses stand
And where a girl is blankly wandering
Still searching for her one broken wing

Unsounded crosses just speak to me
What have you seen that I can´t see?
I listen to your history
Unsounded crosses just speak to me

Only a name and rank adorn the grass
A broken helmet hanging above
Faithfully he fought until the end
He gave his life for his native lan

Unsounded crosses just speak to me
What have you seen that I can´t see?
I listen to your history
Unsounded crosses just speak to me

Unsounded crosses just speak to me
What have you seen that I can´t see?
I listen to your history
Unsounded crosses just speak to me

Unsounded crosses just speak to me
What have you seen that I can´t see?
I listen to your history
Unsounded crosses just speak to me Открыть страницу с текстом

In the beginning we were like angels from a fairytale
Trying out our wings and flying without fail
And when the forbidden fruit´s taste came to entice us
We still didn´t care for the future or the past.

And then we started to lose our feathers one by one
Pretending that our growing-up is almost done
But still happy for today we believed in any way
That only the brave are going to stay

And if destiny already called
To a brotherhood that we should hold
Then let´s stand on life´s battlefield tight
And we´ll never be lost in the fight
And if destiny already called
To a brotherhood that we should hold
Then let´s stand on life´s battlefield tight
And we´ll never be lost in the fight

Now we´re searching for life´s meaning with a broken wing
And discovered God´s spirit within everything
But believers and unbelievers always dividing
After every answer a new question is hiding

Then the world started turning with a higher speed
And we saw the evil in each and every need
And when the skies were falling down
And the goddess lost her crown
We were yearning for our lost wings from the ground

And if destiny already called
To a brotherhood that we should hold
Then let´s stand on life´s battlefield tight
And we´ll never be lost in the fight
And if destiny already called
To a brotherhood that we should hold
Then let´s stand on life´s battlefield tight
And we´ll never be lost in the fight Открыть страницу с текстом
