Sonata Arctica "The Elephant" Songtext

Übersetzung nach:frit

The Elephant

I know, I’ve never been to a warAnd hope I never have to seeMy world go up in flamesWithout greed nor desire

All wars be a feast of deathAnd the truth goes by with a bodyguard of liesThey feed on our fears,War’s a contagion

A tiny child learned to build a wallHe has built a wallHe has sealed the doorHe has been to warHe will wage war

The shortest war in recorded history took place in 1896When Zanzibar surrendered to Britain after 38 minutes.The longest war was the so-called 100-year warBetween Britain and France.It actually lasted 116 years, ending in 1453.One out of every two casualties of warIs a civilian caught in the crossfire.There are 92 known cases of nuclear bombs lost at seas.The doors that cover the US nuclear silosWeigh 748 tons and open in 19 seconds. Wow.About 50% of arms exportsGo to non-democratic regimes.Since 1495, no 25-year period has been without war.Since 1815 there have been more than 210 interstate wars.The NATO attack on Serbia in 1999 duringThe Kosovo war killed more animals than people.The very first bomb the Allies droppedOn Berlin in World War II killed the onlyElephant in the Berlin Zoo.

Killed the only elephant in Berlin ZooA victim of that madnessNo war ends ‘till the war is wonOur template of doom

They will kill the only elephant in your town tooBlue diamond, lifeless, formlessLittle Boy Blue, like his papa once tooBlood will stay on the blade

Children will learn to destroy the things they can’t build

Killed the only elephant in Berlin ZooA victim of that madnessNo war ends 'till the war is wonOur template of doom

They will kill the only elephant in your town tooBlack diamond, lifeless, formlessLittle Boy Blue, like his papa once tooBlood will stay on the blade

He will go to warHe will build a wallHe will seal the doorHe will end all wars
