Macksy - Soldiers (Nachts weinen die Soldaten - auf Englisch) songtext (lyrics)

A lonely cross, the grave of a soldier
I ask myself, if what they told was true
Did you cheer? So proud to be a warrior?
Did you fall in love? And who loved you?

And your cross even lacks your name
1916 is the only thing it reads
There was no god, no prayers and no amens
You paid with blood for supposed peace

Where you still young?
Perhaps already father?
Did you know? Have you ever met your son?

At night the soldiers are crying
Nameless tears are running down my face
At night the soldiers are crying
Mеrely Numbers are writtеn in your place

And your cross is really not alone
This rabbit hole is a million miles deep
Now all that's left from your
Comrades are their bones
And from this war a giant bloodred sea

So tell me please
When you took your last breath
Did it hit your heart? Was
Your suffering cut short?

At night the soldiers are crying
Nameless tears are running down my face
At night the soldiers are crying
Merely Numbers are written in your place

So tell me why? What took
You to this nightmare?
Wrong allegiance to a broken fatherland?
Did your friends tell ya
We would win the fight there?
Tell me soldier, when did your dreams end?

At night the soldiers are crying
Nameless tears are running down my face
At night the soldiers are crying
Merely Numbers are written in your place

And now I'm here, alone amongst the dead
And I wished the world had never burned
The spring sends flowers to your deathbed
But I'll guess, we still haven't learned
