In Extremo

Lyrics Weckt die toten In Extremo

 399

Weckt die toten


Der Fels in der Brandung
Ist fast nicht mehr zu sehn
Das wird die letzte Schlacht
Bevor wir untergehn
Der Jüngste Tag wird zum Gericht
Das Böse zeigt uns sein Gesicht
Keiner will, dass es so endet
Keiner will, dass das Blatt sich nicht mehr wendet

Wir atmen ein, wir atmen aus
Bevor wir uns erheben

Weckt die Toten, weckt die Toten
Die Verrückten sind in der Stadt
Weckt die Toten, weckt die Toten
Das Testament ist schon gemacht
Wir tanzen auf den Gräbern
Trotzen unsrem Untergang
Denn zum Sterben ist die Welt zu schön
Weckt die Toten, weckt die Toten
Die Verrückten sind in der Stadt

Es reicht ein kleiner Funke
Dann steht alles hier in Flammen
Und die Lügen und Versprechen
Fall'n in sich zusammen
Wir haben alles was wir brauchen
Trommel, Sack, Schalmei
Wenn das nicht genug ist
Hilft auch noch Geschrei
Lasst uns des Teufels Hörner stehlen
Von uns bekommt ihr keine Seelen

Wir atmen ein, wir atmen aus
Bevor wir uns erheben

Weckt die Toten, weckt die Toten
Die Verrückten sind in der Stadt
Weckt die Toten, weckt die Toten
Das Testament ist schon gemacht
Wir tanzen auf den Gräbern
Trotzen unsrem Untergang
Denn zum Sterben ist die Welt zu schön
Weckt die Toten, weckt die Toten
Die Verrückten sind in der Stadt

Gläser splittern, Feinde zittern
Tausend Kehlen singen
Die Guten sind ab jetzt am Zug
Die Feigen trifft der Spielmannsfluch

Weckt die Toten, weckt die Toten
Die Verrückten sind in der Stadt
Weckt die Toten, weckt die Toten
Das Testament ist schon gemacht
Wir tanzen auf den Gräbern
Trotzen unsrem Untergang
Denn zum Sterben ist die Welt zu schön
Weckt die Toten, weckt die Toten
Die Verrückten sind in der Stadt

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'* .
