Front Angel
Centhron Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The skull upon the shoulder
Closed eyes, a guest of wind
No one cries!
Snow falls, ice rains
The body numb and hard
There's a flower in his hand
From home, fatherland
Stählern ist das Kreuz, das seinen Körper schmückt
Er bricht den Wind zur Erde gedrückt
Hebt den Arm dem Sturm entgegen
Front Angel - Macht heisst leben
Where is future, where is past
Cursed to die at last
Into foreign lands they fell
Deaf ears listen to the death bell
The lyrics to Centhron's song "Front Angel" paints haunting imagery of an unnamed soldier resting in a slumber deep and cold with a skull on his shoulder. The bleakness of the snowfall and the icy rain echoes the numbness of the body. The only comfort is a flower held in the hand, a reminder of the home and the fatherland. The refrain of "no one cries" highlights the futility and loneliness of war.
The lyrics continue with a proclamation of honor and heroism, with the soldier's adorned body representing an emblem of steel symbolizing the strength and sacrifice of the warrior's spirit. The imagery of the soldier fighting against the wind signifies the bravery and determination to persevere, as the "Front Angel" signifies the power of the military force.
The last lines express the soldier's fate and a cruel realization that the efforts of the soldiers who fell in foreign lands may have been in vain, as the sound of the death bell falls on deaf ears. The song concentrates on the poignancy of the military and the never-ending cycle of conflict and death, a powerful and vital message.
