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
