Can you see the dawn when the dark nights shroud the Sun
Can you feel a pleasure when your life is full of pain
Tombstones and earth guard the rest of the fallen heroes
Tears drop from eye-lashes like spring rain
Through the gates of hatred and spite
Chorus:
When the darkness grows
And the ancient pride is forgotten
And sly alien poisoned the rivers of life
A nation falls to the realm of oblivion
A kingdom of the Elders of lies
Can you hear a voice when a mouth doesn't talk from fear
Can you be free when your hands are shackled by chains
Where is the palm, which seized Wotan's spear
Destiny calls for the vanguard of the war
Running wind drives the triumphant chariot's wheels
Chorus:
When the cowards rule
And inborn instincts are blunted
The gates of destiny are opened like a medieval grave
From the crowds of slaves rises a man-the son of thunder
Let him proclaim salutations to the brave
