Mother [Theme]

Only love ...

When you get what you want in your struggle for pelf,
And the world makes you King for a day,
Then go to the mirror and look at yourself,
And see what that guy has to say.
For it isnt your Father, or Mother, or Wife,
Who judgement upon you must pass.
The feller whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the guy staring back from the glass.
He's the feller to please, never mind all the rest,
For he's with you clear up to the end,
And you've passed your most dangerous, difficult test
If the guy in the glass is your friend.




When you become rich, everyone knows you,
Look in the reflection -
The guy in the mirror can look and say with love
And you listen carefully.
Not father or mother, not your friend, not wife,
Judged strictly for your business.
The guy, whose sentence is always the most important,
Looks from the mirror straight in the eye.
No matter what the guy will be with you
Before you leave us suddenly.
And, believe me, you passed the hardest test of your,
If in the mirror the guy is your friend.
(When you once succeed
And be king for one day
Then look in the mirror, look at yourself,
And listen to what you say, this man is.
This - not the mother, not the father or wife,
Whose judgment you must pass.
The man, whose judgment has the most weight
Is the person looking at you from the mirror.
To him, you have to like and not others
Because only he will be with you until the end.
And you've passed your most dangerous,difficult test
If he says that he's your friend.)

Sword and shield, bone and steel, rictus grin,
Deaf forever to the battles din,
Deaf forever to the battles din,
Deaf forever stone deaf forever.
Mother earth, mother earth
enfold you in her cold embrace.
Sinking down, killing ground,
worm crawling on your cold white face.
Win or lose, nought to choose,
all men are equal when their memory fades.
No one knows, friends or foes,
if Valhalla lies beyond the grave...




The sword and shield, bone and steel, fangs,
Deaf forever in the DIN of battle,
Deaf forever in the DIN of battle,
Deaf forever, deaf forever frozen.
Mother earth, mother earth
Takes you in its cold embrace.
Fall to the bottom, the deadly land,
Worm crawling on your cold, pale face.
Win or lose, nothing to choose,
All men are equal when their memory fades.
No one knows neither friends nor enemies,
If Valhalla lies beyond the grave...
