Lieb vaterland, magst ruhig sein


Im Frühjahr, wenn die Blumen blühen,
Ist es Zeit für mich zu ziehen.
Der Flaum am Kinn, so jung an Jahren,
Erste Liebe, kaum erfahren,
Viel Ruhm und Ehr' fürs Vaterland,
So ist mir auch vorm Tod nicht bang.
Die Pflicht, sie ruft: "Auf, in die Schlacht!",
Auf dass sie mich zum Manne macht.

Nun zieh´ ich in ein fremdes Land,
Hab´ das Eigene kaum gekannt.
Die Heimat schwindet Stück für Stück,
Die Brüder kehrten nie zurück.
Kanonendonner, Feuerschein,
Werden meine Liebsten sein
Die Fahne flattert stolz im Wind,
Das Herz pocht schnell vor feurig Wind.

Lieb Vaterland, magst ruhig sein
Ein jeder stirbt für sich allein
Ich bin klein
Mein Herz ist rein
Kann niemand darin wohnen Nur der Tod allein
Lieb Vaterland, magst ruhig sein
Ein jeder stirbt für sich allein.
Ich bin klein, mein Herz ist rein,
Kann niemand darin wohnen,
Nur der Tod allein.

Das Säbelrasseln, nicht mehr weit,
Mein Gott nochmal, jetzt wird es Zeit!
Mutters Tränen sind mir Leid,
Der Waffenrock, mein stolzes Kleid
Wir stürmen vor, die Herzen brennen,
Töten das, was wir nicht kennen.
Haben sorglos all den Tod verlacht,
Was hat die Welt aus mir gemacht!

Aus Schützengräben stöhnt es matt,
Weh dem, der keine Freunde hat!
Die Stiefel hart, die Wangen blass,
Die Wunden rot, den Blick voll Hass,
Auf Blut getränkter Erde dann
Bricht der Zweifel seinen Bann
Am Ende steht mir zu der Lohn,
Es rollt mein Kopf vor deinen Thron.

Lieb Vaterland, magst ruhig sein,
Jeder stirbt für sich allein.
Ich bink klein, mein Herz ist rein
Kann niemand darin wohnen,
Nur der Tod allein.

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

In Extremo is a German medieval metal band originating from Berlin. The band's musical style combines metal with medieval traditional songs, blending the sound of the standard rock/metal instruments with historical instruments (such as the bagpipes, harp, hurdy-gurdy and shawm). Versions of well-known traditional/medieval ballads make up the main part of their repertoire, but the band has written an increasing share of original material in recent years. Their own material is written in German, whilst the traditional songs are in a variety of languages, including Gaelic, Spanish, English, Norwegian, Swedish, Icelandic, French, Estonian, Hebrew, Latin, Occitan, Old High German. Some of their most representative songs include: *'Mittelalterschlager*' , *'Komm, süßer Tod*' , *'In Extremo'*, *'Edda'* .
