about

Song number 6 will sober you right up again: "1000 Years of Human Flesh" points the finger at organized religion that led to the burning of heretics in Europe in the year 1022 (Orléans heresy). 1000 years later the influence of the church is still strong in countries like Austria and even has a resurgence in other countries. Using a mix of German and English lyrics, the band reminds us that no shepherd will safe us, only we can save ourselves. The music is a touch darker and has an almost Primordial, black metal vibe.

lyrics

Und wieder seid ihr eingeladen, meinen Visionen beizustehen
Die beste aller Welten in universellem Licht zu sehen
Versucht mein Bangen, Hoffen, Flehn, vielmehr der Worte Sinn verstehn
Denn kommt nicht bald ersehnte Wende, wird es so nicht weiter gehen

Stand your ground
Stand your ground
Make it count
Make it count

Longing eternally
For an unknown destiny
No shepherd will save our soul
You are part of the whole
Longing eternally
For an unknown destiny
No shepherd will save our soul
You are part of the whole

So viele 1000 Jahre wälzen Menschen fleischlich Hüllen
Über der satt und grün und saftig Erde Rund
Oftmals tat man seither Wahrheit, Wissen, scheiternd kund
Doch wäre es so einfach, wäre es nicht so schwer
Gäben nicht so viele ihr Leben für die Lösung her
Wären nicht so viele Augen ausdruckslos und leer

Longing eternally
For an unknown destiny
No shepherd will save our soul
You are part of the whole
Longing eternally
For an unknown destiny
No shepherd will save our soul
You are part of the whole

1000 years of human flesh
Empty husks on rotten soil
Every drop, part of the river
Knowledge lost forever
1000 years of human flesh
Empty husks on rotten soil
Every drop, part of the river
Knowledge lost, remember

Der Ewigkeit Vielfältigkeit liegt uns verflochten ausgebreitet
Silbern Streif den Sinn hin zur Erkenntnis leitet
Der Tropfen ist ein Teil des Flusses
Das Rad, es dreht sich weiter
Es findet nur wer nichts mehr sucht und kommt mit sich ins Reine


Longing eternally
For an unknown destiny
No shepherd will save our soul
You are part of the whole
Longing eternally
For an unknown destiny
No shepherd will save our soul
You are part of the whole

Longing eternally
For an unknown destiny
No shepherd will save our soul
You are part of the whole
