Serenity - Tannenberg songtekst
Over deze songtekst:
Dit lied gaat over de Slag bij Tannenberg in 1410. De strijd ging tussen Duitsland en het koninkrijk Polen. De Polen hadden hulp van soldaten uit Litouwen en van Lipka-Tartaren. Dat was een bevolkingsgroep die zich in Litouwen had gevestigd. De Slag was nodig om de uitbreidingsdrift van de Duitsers te beteugelen. De Duitsers stonden onder leiding van Ulrich von Jungingen. De Duitsers verloren deze Slag. De meeste Duitse soldaten werden of gevangen genomen of gedood. Ook Ulrich stierf. Na deze slag volgden nog meer kleinere slagen.
Tannenberg ligt in het Noorden van Polen. Tannenberg is de naam die de Duitsers aan de stad gaven. De stad heet nu St?bark.
Het lied wordt vanuit het oogpunt van Ulrich von Jungingen gezongen.
(PS In 1914 was er ook een Slag bij Tannenberg. Toen werd daar gevochten tussen Duitsland en Rusland, WO1)
Mid of July, the summer breeze Carries scent of blood along Those times we fear To lose a dream, to lose a nation Our strategy, a master plan Slowly writing history A genius trap coming their way Fate will not let us down today I don't defeat the enemy I defend what I believe is right My role in this war is to bring To my country a glory to taste Tannenberg when they lost the game Surrounding their men We let them no chance Tannenberg, luck was on our side That they never changed their mind Tannenberg, when I chose that name I remember the knights Who fell in the past Shall this victory lighten their memory Everywhere, all the same Together as one, in the fronting line Men are ready for the fight I know they fear To lose a dream, to lose their reason Falling around, one by one Victims of fate will soon abound But rules are clear as they see They can only survive by killing They don't defeat the enemy They obey orders we have given You soldiers of fortune know We owe you the glory we taste Tannenberg when they lost the game Surrounding their men We let them no chance Tannenberg, luck was on our side That they never changed their mind Tannenberg, when I chose that name I remember the knights Who fell in the past Shall this victory lighten their memory Everywhere, all the same Here I stand Watching the line There they stand, together Fall with pride On both sides Men are a band of brothers But counting the dead is somehow Changing the glory to waste Tannenberg , if I had done wrong I wouldn't live to long, a regret so strong Tannenberg, luck was on our side That they never changed their mind Tannenberg, when I chose that name I remember the knights Who fell in the past Shall this victory lighten their memory Everywhere, all the same
