[English]

Deep in our heart a fire will rise

(Deep in our heart a fire will rise)

This one is built from a million lies

(This one is built from a million lies)

How can we live in the land of the dead,

(How can we live in the land of the dead)

Where everyone speaks but nothing is said

Deep in our souls burns the fire

In our veins flows the black blood

We ride ever onward through the night

The new freedom has awakened within us

Deep in our souls burns the fire

In our veins flows the black blood

We ride ever onward through the night

The new freedom has awakened within us

...

Everyone is afraid of what he doesn't know

(Everyone is afraid of what he doesn't know)

But they keep so many secrets they don't want to show

(They keep so many secrets they don't want to show)

Don't let the last hope beside you die

Don't waste your life, stop living a lie

Deep in our souls burns the fire

In our veins flows the black blood

We ride ever onward through the night

The new freedom has awakened within us

Deep in our souls burns the fire

In our veins flows the black blood

We ride ever onward through the night

The new freedom has awakened within us

...

Deep in our souls burns the fire

In our veins flows the black blood

We ride ever onward through the night

The new freedom has awakened within us

Deep in our souls burns the fire

In our veins flows the black blood

We ride ever onward through the night

The new freedom has awakened within us

...
