Krieg kennt keine Sieger [English translation]

Behind a black veil

crying eyes unseen,

crying for scorched earth,

for a fatherless land.

Crying for the dead brother

who fell in the name of God,

crying tears without hope

Only death plays its game.

[Refrain]

War knows no victors

The father and the son

turn into holy warriors

War knows no victors

It devours and gives nothing

back, only dead warriors

(and no victors)

Behind temple walls

a priest full of rage instigates

and the poison in his words

turns into blood in the war

Sons turning into soldiers

praying faithfully for victory

dying young without getting the chance to live

Only death wins in war

For whom did you die?

For what did you burn?

Your blood trickles away in the desert sand

Who betrayed you?

After whom did you run?

Didn't you realize it was a lie?

What did you win?

For whom did you fight?

You were a great warrior

and still they don't sing songs in your honor

You were a great warrior, but...

[Refrain]
