We stand at the crossroads with holes in our hands
For those crucified, forgotten fatherlands
I kissed your forehead and I kissed your lips
And I dreamed of four girls for an apocalypse
But one day, someday, for you and me
An angel with talons will set us free
We drove through the mist, to a house by a lake
And wait in the garden for D'Annunzio to wake
We stand at the crossroads with holes in our hands
For those crucified, betrayed, lost motherlands
Behind the soft words of liars and fools
You're either the ruler or you're the ruled
The fuse has been lit, the sacrifice bled
And nature's deciding we are more use to her dead
But one day, someday, for you and me
An angel with talons will come and set us free
On the ledge of a cliff, hang onto rosary beads
My wrists are aching and my fingers bleed
Below me there's flies and disease
But above me the light and the breeze
And we stand at the crossroads with holes in our hands
For those brutalized, genocide, paranoid lands
They're cutting up corpses, putting them into sacks
And blood in the moonlight looks ever so black
You pick wild flowers, dream of love and respect
In this world of the noose, the knife and the rack
But one day, someday, for you and me
An angel with talons will set us free
For one day, someday, for you and me
An angel with talons will set us free
For one day, someday

Lives in the balance

I've been waiting for something to happen
For a week or a month or a year
With the blood in the ink of the headlines
And the sound of the crowd in my ear
You might ask what it takes to remember
When you know that you've seen it before
Where a government lies to a people
And a country is drifting to war
There's a shadow on the faces
Of the men who send the guns
To the wars that are fought in places
Where their business interest runs
On the radio talk shows and TV
You hear one thing again and again
How the USA stands for freedom
And we come to the aid of a friend
But who are the ones that we call our friends
These governments killing their own
Or the people who finally can't take anymore
And they pick up a gun or a brick or a stone
And there are lives in the balance
There are people under fire
There are children at the cannons
And there is blood on the wire
There's a shadow on the faces
Of the men who fan the flames
Of the wars that are fought in places
Where we can't even say the names
They sell us the president the same way
They sell us our clothes and our cars
They sell us everything from youth to religion
The same time they sell us our wars
I want to know who the men in the shadows are
I want to hear somebody asking them why
They can't be counted on to tell us
Who our enemies are
But they're never the ones to fight or to die
And there are lives in the balance
There are people under fire
There are children at the cannons
And there is blood on the wire

Wir lieben die Stürme

Wir lieben die Stürme, die brausenden Wogen,
der eiskalten Winde rauhes Gesicht.
Wir sind schon der Meere so viele gezogen,
und dennoch sank uns're Fahne nicht.
Heijo, heijo, heijo, heijo, heijoho, heijo, heijoho, heijo!
Unser Schiff gleitet stolz durch die schäumenden Wogen,
jetzt strafft der Wind uns're Segel mit Macht.
Seht ihr hoch droben die Fahne sich wenden,
die blutrote Fahne, ihr Seeleut, habt acht.
Heijo, heijo, heijo, heijo, heijoho, heijo, heijoho, heijo!
Wir treiben die Beute mit fliegenden Segeln,
wir jagen sie weit auf das endlose Meer.
Wir stürzen auf Deck, und wir kämpfen wie Löwen,
hei, unser der Sieg, viel Feinde, viel Ehr!
Heijo, heijo, heijo, heijo, heijoho, heijo, heijoho, heijo!
Ja, wir sind Piraten und fahren zu Meere,
wir fürchten nicht Tod und den Teufel dazu,
wir lachen der Feinde und aller Gefahren,
am Grunde des Meeres erst finden wir Ruh.
Heijo, heijo, heijo, heijo, heijoho, heijo, heijoho, heijo!

Geister Im Waldgebirg (2014 edition)
by Sturmpercht
supported by 7 fans who also own “Vente Vent - Bonus”
Man,the day i discovered Sturmpercht, i thought they're a fun alpine take on Death in June but no. They're far more than that and their text&sounddesign is genius at times. Try "wir rufen deine Wölfe" next time you go cold turkey from a heroin binge and somehow you manage to transform all that pain,anger,desperation and sickness into something enjoyable. Thats the power of Sturmpercht,raw and full of pathos
