Weapons of the Modern Age
Long ago in eastern Prussia Young men with great ambitions rise So who can tell me who can say for sure Which one will win the Nobel Prize? It was a golden age for science The Kaiserreich would hold the key And as the conflict came and tensions rose The manifest of the '93 Haber-Bosch, the great alliance Where's the contradiction? Fed the world by ways of science Sinner or a saint? Father of toxic gas and chemical warfarе His dark creation has been revealеd Flow over no man's land, a poisonous nightmare A deadly mist on the battlefield "Perversions of ideals of science" Lost words of alienated wife And in the trenches of the western front Unknowing soldiers pay the price And on the battlefield they're dying And on the fields the crops are grown So who can tell us what is right or wrong Maths or morality alone? Haber-Bosch, the great alliance Where's the contradiction? Fed the world by ways of science Sinner or a saint? Father of toxic gas and chemical warfare His dark creation has been revealed Flow over no man's land, a poisonous nightmare A deadly mist on the battlefield Father of toxic gas and chemical warfare His dark creation has been revealed Flow over no man's land, a poisonous nightmare A deadly mist on the battlefield During times when there's peace he belonged to the world During times when there's war he belonged to his place of birth Where will this lead? What's coming next From your inventions? We wonder where Where does it end? Who can foresee See what will be? Haber-Bosch, the great alliance Where's the contradiction? Fed the world by ways of science Sinner or a saint? Father of toxic gas and chemical warfare His dark creation has been revealed Flow over no man's land, a poisonous nightmare A deadly mist on the battlefield Father of toxic gas and chemical warfare His dark creation has been revealed Flow over no man's land, a poisonous nightmare A deadly mist on the battlefield

Man and machine and nothing there in between A flying circus and a man from Prussia The sky and a plane, this man commands his domain The western front and all the way to Russia Death from above, you're under fire Stained red as blood, he’s roaming higher Born a soldier from the horseback to the skies That's where the legend will arise And he's flying Higher, the king of the sky He’s flying too fast and he's flying to high Higher, an eye for an eye The legend will never die First to the scene he is a lethal machine It's bloody April and the tide is turning Fire at will it is the thrill of the kill Four in a day shot down with engines burning Embrace the fame, red squadron leader Call out his name, Rote Kampfflieger In the game to win, a gambler rolls the dice Eighty allies paid the price And he's flying Higher, the king of the sky He's flying too fast and he's flying to high Higher, an eye for an eye The legend will never die Higher Higher, the king of the sky He's flying too fast and he's flying to high Higher, an eye for an eye The legend will never die Higher Born a soldier from the horseback to the skies And the legend never dies And he’s flying And he’s flying And he's flying Higher Higher, the king of the sky He’s flying too fast and he's flying too high Higher, an eye for an eye The legend will never die Higher Higher, the king of the sky He's flying too fast and he's flying too high Higher, an eye for an eye The legend will never die

A shadow moves across the water in pursuit It splits the waves, commands the sea and defies the wind Instilling fear among its prey, feels naught for itself Ahead, the sea lies calm, awaiting the storm Displace the water in its path Reveal the cannons, align the guns, unleash their wrath Unopposed under crimson skies Immortalized, over time their legend will rise And their foes can't believe their eyes Believe their size, as they fall And the Dreadnoughts dread nothing at all A hull of steel and all big guns to serve the fleet Unrivalled firepower riding the waves to war A devastating blow will send their foes down below Fearless armada now bombarding their shore Light up the night when cannons roar In fear of nothing, they lead the navy into war Unopposed under crimson skies Immortalized, over time their legend will rise And their foes can't believe their eyes Believe their size, as they fall And the Dreadnoughts dread nothing at all The North Sea has drawn them near The Fleet of the High Seas approach A contest of titans commence These days will dictate their fate The grand fleet prepares their guns Unleashed as the Dreadnoughts clash at last Unopposed under crimson skies Immortalized, over time their legend will rise And their foes can't believe their eyes Believe their size, as they fall And the Dreadnoughts dread nothing at all

Sent to kill, to watch no man’s land Snipers are moving unseen Fight for land, to lose it again Shrapnel is filling the air Hell on earth, the trenches mean death Better keep your head down low Charge their lines, the ultimate test It’s a synchronized sacrifice Get the wounded after dark Left alone in no man’s land Maddening chaos at the front Dream of heaven Angels are calling your name Shells and guns, a rifle and scope Bullets are wearing your name Losing track of time and of space Midnight at sanity’s edge Losing friends to artillery shells At the break of dawn Break their will, as yours has been broken, they’re here alone, Dream of home Charge at dawn to gain a yard Scout at night to guard their lines Leave your life in fortunes hand Dream of heaven Angels are calling your name Hell on earth, the trenches mean death Better keep your head down low Charge their lines, the ultimate test It’s a synchronized sacrifice When the bullet hits it’s mark Know your time in hell has been served You won’t return to home Dream of heaven Angels are calling your name Calling you home

Silence Oh, I remember the silence On a cold winter day After many months on the battlefield And we were used to the violence Then all the cannons went silent And the snow fell Voices sang to me from no man’s land We are all, we are all, we are all, we are all friends And today we’re all brothers Tonight we’re all friends A moment of peace in a war that never ends Today we’re all brothers We drink and unite Now Christmas has arrived and the snow turns the ground white Hear carols from the trenches, we sing O holy night Our guns laid to rest among snowflakes A Christmas in the trenches, a Christmas on the front far from home Madness Oh I remember the sadness We were hiding our tears In a foreign land where we faced our fears We were soldiers Carried the war on our shoulders For our nations Is that why we bury our friends? We were all, we were all, we were all, we were all friends A Christmas on the frontline, we walk among our friends, we don’t think about tomorrow, the battle will commence When we celebrated Christmas, we thought about our friends, those who never made it home, when the battle had commenced

You're in for surprise, you're in for a shock In London town streets where's darkness and fog I'm going down, all the way down I'm on the highway to hell from here Blessed by the night, holy and bright Called by the toll of the bell Oh Mr. Crowley did you talk to the dead Sleep with the devil and then you must pay In abandoned land Come on in child take my hand Hear a rising force Watch the devils, the damned They're gonna break their chains Through the night you can hear them I have a phobia, a fear of thе dark Afraid to shoot strangers, the animal talks Guns scare mе shitless but love gun's my friend The sentinel's coming but is this the end? Riding on this crazy train I'm going paranoid Watch me lose my mind and break the law (Breaking the law, breaking the law) I'm a metal machine It's close to midnight and he's barking at the moon Unholy metal machine The rainbow in the dark is shining I'm a metal machine It's close to midnight and he's barking at the moon Don't touch my metal machine The kings of metal ride the sky Take a Skyride with me, then you'll see When the Priest killed the Maiden in the Metal Church Armored Saints and Warlocks watched the Slaughter Rage of the Slayer forced the Pretty Maids To Kiss the Queen in Crimson Glory
