| Hinter einem schwarzen Schleier
| Behind a black veil
|
| Weinen Augen unerkannt
| crying eyes unrecognized
|
| Weinen um verbrannte Erde
| Weeping for scorched earth
|
| Um ein vaterloses Land
| For a fatherless country
|
| Weinen um den toten Bruder
| Weeping for the dead brother
|
| Der in Gottes Namen fiel
| Who fell in God's name
|
| Weinen Tränen ohne Hoffnung
| cry tears without hope
|
| Nur der Tod treibt sein Spiel
| Only death plays his game
|
| Krieg kennt keine Sieger
| War knows no winners
|
| Aus dem Vater und dem Sohn
| From the father and the son
|
| Werden Gotteskrieger
| Become a warrior of God
|
| Krieg kennt keine Sieger
| War knows no winners
|
| Er verschlingt und gibt nichts
| He devours and gives nothing
|
| Wieder, nur tote Krieger
| Again, just dead warriors
|
| Hinter Tempelmauern
| Behind temple walls
|
| Hetzt ein Priester voller Wut
| Rushing a priest full of anger
|
| Und das Gift in seinen Worten
| And the poison in his words
|
| Wandelt sich im Krieg zu Blut
| Turns to blood in war
|
| Söhne werden zu Soldaten
| Sons become soldiers
|
| Beten gläubig für den Sieg
| Pray in faith for victory

| Nur der Tod gewinnt im Krieg
| Only death wins in war

|
| Für wen bist du gestorben?
| Who did you die for?
|
| Für was hast du gebrannt?
| What did you burn for?
|
| Dein Blut verrinnt im Wüstensand
| Your blood runs away in the desert sand
|
| Wer hat dich betrogen?
| who cheated on you
|
| Wem bist du nachgerannt?
| Who were you chasing?
|
| Hast du die Lüge nicht erkannt?
| Didn't you spot the lie?
|
| Was hast du gewonnen?
| What did you win?
|
| Für wen hast du gekämpft?
| Who did you fight for?
|
| Du warst ein großer Krieger
| You were a great warrior
|
| Und doch singt man dir keine Lieder
| And yet no one sings you songs
|
| Du warst ein großer Krieger, doch der…
| You were a great warrior, but the...
