Rammstein (English) Lyrics
A human burns
Rammstein
The smell of flesh in the air
Rammstein
A child dies
Rammstein
The sun shines
A sea of flame
Rammstein
Blood coagulating on the asphalt
Rammstein
Mothers cry
Rammstein
The sun shines
A mass grave
Rammstein
No escape
Rammstein
No birds sing any more
Rammstein
The sun shines
The base is called 'Ramstein Air Force Base' (RAFB) not 'Rammstein AFB'. Also, I've been there (military brat) it's huge, just like a little America. Ramstein is the name of the village [of Ramstein] surrounding the base. And to the guy who called this song stupid, you ought to piss off and keep your comments to yourself, this song is a dedication to the dozens of people killed in a violent airshow crash back in the mid-80s, don't be so insensitive.
not just a city not only an airbase not only the biggest us-base outside usa not only an axident but one of europes biggest coruption/conspirathy themes after ww2 the pilote in the midle-mashine was the only surviving witness of the airplanecrash at ustica the reporter who found out was already on his way to germany to interview him...
Rammstein is a great band, strait from a great country. i think this song has somthing to do with WW2 and the holocaust(i think i spelled it right). i herd that rammstein ment battering ram in english.
The song is about an air-crash at the Ramstein Airforce in Germany base that occurred in the late 80's during an air-show. The Italian aerobatics team collided during their performance and two jets crashed into the crowd killing several dozen people. The band was originally called Ramstein but added the extra 'r' to their name later and yes it can be translated as 'battering ram' into english although not easily ;-)
I heard it was battering ram made of stone...but what do I know?
yup the baron is spot on
Yup but he made a LITTLE mistake they didnt add an extra R but an extra 'M' RamMstein, and it doesn't mean batering ram, it is just the name of the place where the aircrash tookplace
thaks thebaron
a ramstein is a battering ram made of stone but the song and the band name are references to the air crash.
ya I heard the wanted a chant so they added the M. Like the Vikings used to chant RAMMSTEIN RAMMSTEIN before they took a castle and pludered it (because of their battering ramm). I heard that somewhere I think it was on the LAB Concert Interview.
