Cold
Scorpions Lyrics

The Scorpions' song "Cold" is a powerful song about the horrors of war and the deception of those in power. The first verse begins with the singer acknowledging that he is just an ordinary man who never intended to be a soldier fighting in a foreign land. He expresses his confusion and lack of clarity about the reasons for the war, and how he has been stripped of his simple life and his freedom. The chorus is a stark indictment of those who have brought him to this situation. The singer notes that the lies he has been told are just as cold as the world around him, and the side of the people responsible for the war that he sees is a cruel and unfeeling one.

The second verse continues the theme of deception and manipulation by those in power. The singer notes that the master plan of those in charge has gone too far, and that they have even crucified the name of God in their quest for power and wealth. The chorus repeats again, expressing the singer's disgust with the lies and the coldness of those in charge. The final chorus is a powerful statement about the ongoing nature of this cycle of war and deception, as the singer notes that everyone loves and admires the people who have done this to him, even as they continue to be cold and indifferent to the suffering of others.
