Soldiers [Nachts weinen die Soldaten - auf Englisch]

Lyrics

[Intro] A lonely cross, the grave of a soldier I ask myself, if what they told was true Did you cheer? So proud to be a warrior? Did you fall in love? And who loved you? [Verse 1] And your cross even lacks your name 1916 is the only thing it reads There was no god, no prayers and no amens You paid with blood for supposed peace Where you still young? Perhaps already father? Did you know? Have you ever met your son? [Chorus] At night the soldiers are crying Nameless tears are running down my face At night the soldiers are crying Mеrely Numbers are writtеn in your place [Verse 2] And your cross is really not alone This rabbit hole is a million miles deep Now all that's left from your comrades are their bones And from this war a giant bloodred sea So tell me please, when you took your last breath Did it hit your heart? Was your suffering cut short? [Chorus] At night the soldiers are crying Nameless tears are running down my face At night the soldiers are crying Merely Numbers are written in your place [Bridge] So tell me why? What took you to this nightmare? Wrong allegiance to a broken fatherland? Did your friends tell ya, we would win the fight there? Tell me soldier, when did your dreams end? [Chorus] At night the soldiers are crying Nameless tears are running down my face At night the soldiers are crying Merely Numbers are written in your place [Outro] And now I'm here, alone amongst the dead And I wished the world had never burned The spring sends flowers to your deathbed But I'll guess, we still haven't learned...
