Kaizers Orchestra – Djevelens Orkester Lyrics 20 years ago
Djevelens Orkester
The Devil's Orchestra

Now that you're drifting between life and death
Wipe away that smirk
Cause you don't know what it'll be like
Then you can regret you lied
And you'll get used to breathing smoke
Cause down here you have to face the blows

And the conductor is spitting blood
He demands maximum effort
When his men sing in harmony
It applies to sisters, it applies to brothers
He makes no exceptions
And our law is his word

No, not all is like you think
So show some respect
Cause he's a true master, he's your mother
He's your sister
He's the conductor of the Devil's Orchestra

Here no one has it easy
Here everyone's on a diet
Over 90% have cancer
Here it's hot and smells sweaty
Here they fall into the fire
And now you know he was right


And the conductor's drinkin wine
As if it was gasoline
Is this what is called dicipline
And when he's swinging his baton
Out towards the masses
Then they sing sha-la-la


Here there's no turning back
This is how you'll spend your last days
Everybody wants to go to heaven
When it's too late

This song is presumably about people suffering in hell.

Kaizers Orchestra – Evig Pint Lyrics 20 years ago
Evig Pint
Eternally Tormented

If I could just find a hole into heaven
To avoid shoveling coal into the great furnace
I've been stitched up a 1000 times
I'm blind and coughing my lounges up
My face looks old and joints are stiff

But things will it'll get better if we do it together
If we just take it day by day
I would just like to hold
My father one last time
But I'm afraid my heart is too weak

I'm eternally tormented
All I have is in a chest
I'm filled with adrenalin
I'm eternally tormented
God let me be eternally tormented

Put yourself in my place
So maybe you'll understand
That they'll never let me
Into your heaven

Six men and six hands hold this coffin tightly
Nobody knows who's next in line
Soon it'll be my turn. The night is over
But no one can tell me what's to be


This song is about a man who is terrified of going to hell once the mafia kills him.

Kaizers Orchestra – Bak Et Halleluja Lyrics 20 years ago
Bak Et halleluja
(Behind A hallelujah)

Father I must ask forgiveness
It's my fault that Tony's packed in a car cover
I've broken Monsieur Clavier's regulations
You know I can’t take care of him

I plead to you. Help, Father help me
I'm standing in boots of concrete, Father help me
I said, Russian roulette's not a good idea
But he felt fine so he forced me along

I watched him spin the cylinder
he put the barrel between his teeth
I’ll pray for you my son

Cos by him you've not yet been judged
Cos nobody can say no to the amount Monsieur Clavier gave
And only Father martin knows what's behind a hallelujah
Tony has a genuine double

Track him down, set up a contract, give him money
You may take a handful out of our collection
You may become as most people, or you may become a priest
But never return cos your days here are numbered

This song is linked with resistansen, rullet, Mr. Kaizer, and others. It is about Tony's brother confessing to the preist because he beleives the fact that Tony died from Russian Roulette is his fault.

Kaizers Orchestra – 170 Lyrics 20 years ago
170

Relax, we'll soon be returning
You know we'll get sufficient funding
Now I enlist as a voluntary soldier
When I go out I've become a father

It was night and it became day and night again
I wrote letter after letter but never got one back
half a year with shots and open wounds
half a year! God, how time goes slow

Thank God for the medical corps
Cos they sew together recruits and generals
The day came and I waited for a signal
And I got my last order from the highest in command

And he yelled;
170 go out and see if it is clear!
No, general, spare me. It's easy for you to send in a
voluntary soldier
But who'll take care of my wife and my child?

170 is it clear, is it clear?
170 we're waiting for a response

As junkboot said, this song is about a volunteer soldier fighting in world war II. He enlists and finds out he's a father, just then he is called to battle, contacts home with no responce and after a long time of combat, bleeding, torment and suffering he still receives no responce. He is ordered to scout out in the battle but he asks the general if he could use a voulenteer, it would be easy, as he is wounded and fears dying before ever seeing his child. He is sent out anyways and this time it is him who makes no responce to the army.
