Collateral [English translation]

A man stands protectively in front of the child

Oh, how much he'd love to find peace

The fusillade penetrates, then the wound gapes

The son sinks into the background

A man speaks valiantly in uniform

He knows what's right because he's at the front

We believe the General

We're all the same to him - but fuck it!

Collateral

It sprays from flesh and bone

Where cross and crosshair unites

The finger presses at supersonic speed

Hits the target

Collateral

The word - soft as a scarf of silk

But it hides hard armoured steel

Steel is shredded, people subverted

We call that

Collateral

It sprays from flesh and bone

Where cross and crosshair unites

The finger presses at supersonic speed

Hits the target

Collateral

We had no other choice

Freedom fails otherwise

Who's interested in the death toll?

Oh, are children playing everywhere?

I only did what they ordered me to do

It sprays from flesh and bone

Where cross and crosshair unites

The finger presses at supersonic speed

Hits the target
