WK III
Centhron Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Die Luft, die ich atme
Digitale Angriffsmacht
Ein totes Mondlicht scheint
Die Stalinorgeln sind erwacht
Der Gegenschlag steht schon bereit
Die bei Nacht die Bestie frisst
Sie wird tausend Nippel saugen
Opfer, die sie nie vergisst
Marsch im Gleichschritt für die Ehre
Taifun der tausend Heere
Engel fallen in die Nacht
Bluten bis der Tag erwacht
WK III
WK III
Eins, zwei, WK III
Eins, zwei, WK III
Es sucht sich zartes Fleisch
Es ist für alle Zeit
Und es wird immer sein
Sie werden immer schreien
Krieg ist die See, in der ich schwimme
Die Luft, die ich atme
Ohne meinen Panzer bin ich nichts
Marsch im Gleichschritt für die Ehre
Taifun der tausend Heere
Engel fallen in die Nacht
Bluten bis der Tag erwacht

ENGLISH
War is the lake where I swim
The air that I breathe
Digital power attack
A dead moon light shines
The Stalin organs are awake
The backlash is already available
War is made with black eyes
The eats at night, the beast
It will suck one thousand nipple
Victims who never forgets
March in lockstep for the honor
Typhoon of a thousand armies
Angels fall in the night
Bleeding until the day awakes
WK III [2x]
One, two, WK III [2x]
It looks for tender meat
It is for all time
And it will always be
You will always shout
War is the lake where I swim
The air that I breathe
Without my armor, I am nothing
March in lockstep for the honor
Typhoon of a thousand armies
Angels fall in the night
Bleeding until the day awakes

WK III
The song "WK III" by Centhron is a commentary on war and its effects on individuals and society. In the song, war is described as a metaphorical sea in which the singer swims and the air he breathes. The lyrics reference digital attacks and the use of Stalinorgeln (rocket launchers used by the Germans in WWII), suggesting a connection between past and present wars. The lyrics also speak about the toll war takes on those involved, with references to black eyes (physical and emotional trauma), the consumption of victims, and the desperate need for armor to protect oneself. The call to march in lockstep for honor and the sight of fallen angels bleeding in the night all suggest the horrors of war and the futility of trying to conquer it.
The song has a very clear anti-war message, with a focus on the physical and mental damage caused by warfare. The lyrics also suggest the cyclical nature of war, with a reference to "WK III" (World War III) potentially occurring. The use of chanting "Eins, zwei, WK III" emphasizes the militaristic aspect of war and the indoctrination of soldiers. The song also touches on the idea that war will always exist, with the line "It will always be, you will always shout". Overall, the lyrics of "WK III" paint a bleak picture of war and its effects on individuals.
