Feuer
Ewiges Reich Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feuer das Licht des Todes
Faszinierend versengen Flammen das Leben
in ihrer Pracht in ihrer Vielfalt
werden Lichter erlöschen
Ein Gebäude, alt erbaut in der Vergangenheit
verblendete Menschen welche es an ihrem
heiligen Sonntag besuchen
ein Mann in schwarz der sie belügt
um sie von der Wahrheit fern zu halten
Flammen erst klein, dann größer, dann überall
schreinede Menschen wollen heraus
sie können nicht, jeder Ausgang ist verschlossen
ich kann ihre Schmerzen spüren
sie werden eines grausamen Todes sterben
Feuer das Licht des Todes
Faszinierend versengen Flammen das Leben
in ihrer Pracht in ihrer Vielfalt




werden Lichter erlöschen
Der Mann in schwarz, schreit sein letztes Amen

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song Feuer by Ewiges Reich explore the destructive power of fire and how it can bring about death and destruction in a matter of seconds. The opening lines, "Feuer das Licht des Todes / Faszinierend versengen Flammen das Leben" (Fire, the light of death / Fascinating flames scorch life), describe how the flames of the fire consume everything in their path with a mesmerizing and captivating intensity. The song goes on to describe a building that was built in the past, and how people blindly visit it on their holy Sunday without realizing the deceitful intentions of the man in black who is lying to them to keep them away from the truth.

The desperation and pain of the people trapped inside are palpable as they scream for help, but to no avail. The final line, "Der Mann in Schwarz, schreit sein letztes Amen" (The man in black, screams his last Amen), suggests that even the man who perpetrated this horror is not immune to the destructive power of the fire.


Overall, the lyrics of Feuer by Ewiges Reich are a chilling reminder of the unpredictable nature of fire and its ability to bring about death and destruction in a matter of seconds.
