After experimenting with a variety of music styles, such as futurepop with Icon of Coil, as well as electro and industrial with "Combichrist", LaPlegua furthered his sound by increasing the aggressiveness of both his lyrical content and his music. Whereas Icon Of Coil and Combichrist are both pure electronica, Panzer AG combines elements of hard rock, gospel music and symphonic metal. The result was the full-length album, "This is My Battlefield" on the Metropolis Records label. The album explores the topic of corruption in government and society in a harsh and satirical manner which successfully sets Panzer AG apart from other bands in the genre.
Panzer AG followed up the success of 2004's "This is my Battlefield" with the album "Your World is Burning", released in 2006. In style, it departs somewhat from "This is My Battlefield". It is said to incorporate "more of a 'Pretty Hate Machine era' industrial rock feel."

When Death Embrace Me
Panzer AG Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Belief would give me comfort
Believe that what i've done
Made a difference
That I gave you strength to carry on
Without me on your side
That what we have, Will never be forgotten
Will you still be my side?
When death embraces me?
Will you give me comfort,
When death embraces me?
Will you still remember me,
When death embraces me?
Will you taste my one last breath,
When death embraces me?
I believe in eternity,
Something's are meant to be
What if you suddenly change your mind
And leave me here to suffer
What difference would it make
If the angels would be laughing,
Dancing on a grave without a name
All i know
Is how to live in fear
That you
Would ruin my kingdom
All I know
Is how to live in fear
These lyrics of Panzer AG's song When Death Embrace Me are an expression of the singer's contemplation on the aftermath of his death. He wishes to believe that his life had a purpose and that he made a difference in the lives of the people he loved, but he is uncertain if his belief would bring him any comfort after death. He is concerned about how the people close to him, especially his loved ones, would remember him after his demise. He asks if they would still stand by him when death embraces him, if they would still find comfort in his memory, if they would still taste his last breath, and if his memories would stay alive in their minds even after his physical presence is long gone.
The lyrics also reveal the singer's fear of losing the people he loves, which is evidenced by his repeated references to fear. He is anxious that his kingdom, which could be interpreted as symbolizing his world, would get ruined by the people he loves. The singer believes in eternity, which he thinks safeguards the memories of the people he loves, but the contemplation of their fading memories after his death fills him with uncertainty.

If i could believe
If I had faith
Belief would give me comfort
Believing would console me
Believe that what i've done
Trust that my actions
Made a difference
Had an impact
That I gave you strength to carry on

Without me on your side
In my absence

Our bond will endure
Will you still be my side?
Will you stay with me?

When death embraces me?
As I pass away?
I believe in eternity,
I believe in an afterlife,
Something's are meant to be
Some things are destined
What if you suddenly change your mind
What if you have a change of heart
And leave me here to suffer
And abandon me to my pain
What difference would it make
What impact would it have,
If the angels would be laughing,
Even if heavenly beings would mock,
Dancing on a grave without a name
Celebrating over an unknown burial site
All i know
What I am certain of
Is how to live in fear
Is living in constant dread
That you
That you,
Would ruin my kingdom
Would destroy my life's work
All I know
What I am certain of
Is how to live in fear
Is living in constant dread

Took me so long, but now I know...
The movie with the old man and the devil plaguing the citizens is called Faust, by Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau, year 1926. A magnificent classic from when movies were mute. Strongly recommended to see.
The one with the creey smiling guy is Nosferatu the Vampyr, if I'm not mistaken.
And the last scene, I don't know... yet.
Also, great song!
