During the mid-1970s, with guitarist Uli Jon Roth (who replaced Schenker's younger brother Michael) part of the lineup, the music of the Scorpions was defined as hard rock. After Roth's departure in 1978, Schenker and Meine took control of the group, giving them almost all the power to compose music and write lyrics. Matthias Jabs joined in 1978, and with the melodic rock he played and the influence of producer Dieter Dierks in the band, the Scorpions changed their sound to melodic heavy metal mixed with lyrical "power rock ballads", which is evident in the album Lovedrive (1979), which began the evolution of the band's sound, with recording a developed later in several of their albums. Michael Schenker also played on the Lovedrive album. Over the next decade, the band achieved influence, approval from music critics, and significant commercial success with the albums Animal Magnetism (1980), Blackout (1982), Love at First Sting (1984), the live recording World Wide Live (1985), Savage Amusement (1988), their best-selling compilation Best of Rockers 'n' Ballads (1989), and Crazy World (1990), all awarded at least one platinum award in the United States. The band has released thirteen consecutive studio albums that were in the top 10 in Germany, one of which reached No. 1, as well as three consecutive albums that were in the top 10 in the Billboard 200 in the United States. Their latest studio album, Rock Believer, was released in February 2022.
Scorpions are estimated to have sold over 100 million records around the world, making them one of the best-selling hard rock and heavy metal bands. One of their most recognized hits is "Wind of Change" (from Crazy World), a symbolic anthem of the political changes in Eastern Europe in the late 1980s and early 1990s and the fall of the Berlin Wall, and it remains as one of the best-selling singles in the world with over 14 million copies. Two of the songs on their ninth studio album Love at First Sting, "Rock You Like a Hurricane" and "Still Loving You", are regarded as some of the most influential and popular works, both in heavy metal music and among rock ballads, defined as "rock anthem" and "a true hymn of love".

We Will Rise Again
Scorpions Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every touch cuts deeper than the last
I know I should leave
But it feels so good to bleed
Poison kisses lock us in this cage
Our lives got twisted in this masquerade
I can't seem to shake this incurable need
Angels on fire
They fall from the sky
Heaven and hell will be burning tonight
Covered in ashes I cry out your name
And out of the flames
We will rise again
Run in to the shadows where we hide
Bodies tender as our worlds collide
Nothing is sacred and everything's wrong
But you and I keep holding on
Angels on fire
They fall from the sky
Heaven and hell will be burning tonight
Covered in ashes I cry out your name
And out of the flames
We will rise again
No temptation is my sin
Not my darkest deepest whim
Angels on fire
They fall from the sky
Heaven and hell will be burning tonight
Covered in ashes I cry out your name
And out of the flames
We will rise
Angels on fire
They fall from the sky
Heaven and hell will be burning tonight
Covered in ashes I cry out your name
And out of the flames
We will rise again
We will rise again
We will rise
The lyrics to Scorpions' song We Will Rise Again are a melancholic depiction of two individuals trapped in a destructive and toxic relationship that, despite the pain it inflicts, they cannot seem to escape. The first stanza utilizes the metaphor of broken glass to illustrate the fragility of their relationship and its destructive power, with every touch cutting deeper than the last. The singer recognizes the toxicity of their situation and the need to leave, but the allure of the pain and the pleasure it brings them keeps them bound to their partner. The next stanza describes how their lives have become entangled in a masquerade, with poison kisses and an incurable need driving them further into their addiction.
The chorus introduces a sense of hope for their situation, with the angels falling from the sky and the promise that although heaven and hell will be burning tonight, they will rise again. The bridge emphasizes the sense of desperation and darkness surrounding the relationship, as they run to the shadows to hide and collide in a world where nothing is sacred and everything is wrong. Yet they continue to hold onto each other. The final stanza asserts that their addiction is not a temptation or a sin, but a part of them that cannot be ignored.
Overall, We Will Rise Again is a poignant depiction of a dysfunctional relationship that manages to capture the pull of addiction, the all-consuming pain of toxic love, and the hope for redemption and renewal that can come from rising from the ashes of a destructive spiral.
Line by Line Meaning
Holding on to you like broken glass
I am holding onto you tightly but it hurts like holding onto broken glass
Every touch cuts deeper than the last
Every time we touch, it feels more painful
I know I should leave
I know I should end this toxic relationship
But it feels so good to bleed
But the pain feels too good to let go
Poison kisses lock us in this cage
Our love has become poisonous and we are trapped in this unhealthy relationship
Our lives got twisted in this masquerade
Our relationship is like a twisted game or performance, where we pretend to be someone we're not
I can't seem to shake this incurable need
I can't seem to get rid of this unhealthy desire for you
This endless addiction I feed
I keep feeding into this addiction and it never ends
Angels on fire
Even though they are pure and usually bring comfort, they are now burning
They fall from the sky
They are descending down from the heavens
Heaven and hell will be burning tonight
Both the heaven and hell will be on fire tonight, maybe to reflect the turmoil in the relationship between the two lovers
Covered in ashes I cry out your name
I am consumed by the flames and crying out your name
And out of the flames
Despite suffering in the flames
We will rise again
We will come out stronger and overcome the challenges of our relationship
Running to the shadows where we hide
We are trying to escape from reality and our problems by hiding in the shadows
Bodies tender as our worlds collide
We are fragile and vulnerable as our different worlds meet
Nothing is sacred and everything's wrong
Our relationship is lacking in morality and everything seems to be going wrong
But you and I keep holding on
But despite everything, we still hold onto each other
Angels on fire
Once again, the guardian angels are burning in the flames
They fall from the sky
They are descending from above
Heaven and hell will be burning tonight
The chaos and duality of love is reflected in the symbolism of both heaven and hell on fire
Covered in ashes I cry out your name
I am consumed by the flames once again and crying out your name
And out of the flames
Despite the destruction
We will rise again
We will come out stronger and survive the fire and pain of our relationship
