Segel setzen Lyrics
Dich die Sonne nicht mehr wärmt
Wenn aus Zwergen Riesen werden
Die Welt von alten Helden schwärmt
Wenn die Schatten länger werden
Wenn dir der Hass die Luft abdrückt
Worte tief im Herzen brennen
Und du spürst du wirst verrückt
Dann komm mit mir weit hinaus
Nimm sie mit deine Träume
Bevor das Jahr ergraut
Spinnen ihre Netze zieh´n
Wenn alle Worte schon gesagt
Dann ist es an der Zeit zu flieh´n
Wenn das Grollen lauter wird
Falsche Töne plötzlich Kunst
Feiglinge zu Götzen werden
Dann ist hier kein Platz für uns
Lass uns von hier flieh´n
Ich will dich nicht missen
Du darfst mich entführ´n :

"Hoisting sails
When the moon is losing it's light The sun no longer warms you When dwarfs become giants The world is praising old heroes When the shadows grow longer When the hate makes breathing hard Words burn deep in the heart And you feel, you're going mad
Then come with me on the journey Then come with me far away Take with you your dreams Before the year gets grey
When the days are getting longer Spiders weave their webs When all words have been said Then it's time to flee When the thunder is growing louder Wrong notes are suddenly art Cowards become tin gods Then there's no place here for us
Then come with me on the journey Then come with me far away Take with you your dreams Before the year gets grey
Let us hoist the sails Let us flee from here I don't want to miss you You may kidnap me
Take them with you - your dreams
Then come with me on the journey Then come with me far away Take with you your dreams Before the year gets grey"
I think this one is quite easy to understand for a song of In Extremo: It's about realizing when things have changed and you no longer fit in the way you are. This song does not promote to fight the changes, but to get away from them. Better leave those who no longer understand you and remain who you are and keep your dreams. Because it's about someone who is offering to take one with him this is not a song of despair, but in fact of hope for a better place to live.
