Move
Bombenalarm Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Move
We will fight and use our voices
In defense of our dreams
Or will we hide in our cages
Of concrete and steel?
Will we recognize
The pogroms of the future
As the dumb witnesses
Like former generations did?
Or will we be the fire and the fuel
Versus the next fascist state?
Will we continue to rot in denial
Of the daily hopelesness in sight
Or will we raise our fists
Move
Move
Ready to explode
Move
Move
Ready to explode
Will we continue to pray
With hands deep in our pockets?
Or are we ready to explode?
Sick of the never ending lies
That we swallow every day?
Or will we cut all the fences?
Will we march in countless numbers
With eyes glued to the ground
It's possible to raise a head
Move
Move
Ready to explode
Move
Move
Ready to explode
How could you stop a worldwide opression
Of people who don't care
And how to raise a single head
when no one opens his eyes
When are you ready to explode




When are we ready
When are you ready to explode

How could one put an end to global suppression

By those who lack empathy


And how to raise a single head
And how to inspire a single person to take a stand


When no one opens his eyes
When others remain ignorant and unaware


When are you ready to explode
When will you finally take action


When are we ready
When will we collectively take action


When are you ready to explode
When will we finally take matters into our own hands
