Lyrics
Hear the bells still ringing
Through the cold and through the rain
Every child deserves a future
Free from sorrow free from pain
Hands can build instead of breaking
Hearts can open walls of stone
Every stranger has a story
No one walks this world alone
They shall learn war no more
No more fire at the door
No more children in the rain
No more endless trains of pain
Sie werden den Krieg nicht mehr lernen
Wenn die letzten Trommeln sterben
Aus dem Stahl wächst neues Leben
Unter stillen Himmeln eben
Lux aeterna
Domine audi nos
Let the old ones speak of history
Let their voices guide the way
Never let remembrance vanish
Never let the memory fade
Lasst die Alten von damals reden
Lasst uns Ihre Worte nie vergessen
Das Erinnern niemals sterben.
Drive away the walls between us
Drive away the fear and lies
Everything that feeds the hatred
Everything that blinds our eyes
Old men build the borders
Young men pay the price
Let the bridges rise between us
Let compassion lead the way
We were never born for killing
We were born to live and stay
They shall learn war no more
Raise the broken from the floor
Turn the fire into light
Bring the darkness back to night
Sie werden den Krieg nicht mehr lernen
Wenn die Kirchenglocken beben
Neue Hoffnung auf die Erde
Bis aus Hass Erinnerung werde
Menschen sollen Menschen bleiben
Nicht in Hass und Angst zerfallen
Alles was uns je verbunden
Soll am Ende stärker sein
Light over rivers
Light over stone
No more shadows
We are not alone
Hope is rising
After the storm
Hands together
A new world is born
They shall learn war no more…
Through the cold and through the rain
Every child deserves a future
Free from sorrow free from pain
Hands can build instead of breaking
Hearts can open walls of stone
Every stranger has a story
No one walks this world alone
They shall learn war no more
No more fire at the door
No more children in the rain
No more endless trains of pain
Sie werden den Krieg nicht mehr lernen
Wenn die letzten Trommeln sterben
Aus dem Stahl wächst neues Leben
Unter stillen Himmeln eben
Lux aeterna
Domine audi nos
Let the old ones speak of history
Let their voices guide the way
Never let remembrance vanish
Never let the memory fade
Lasst die Alten von damals reden
Lasst uns Ihre Worte nie vergessen
Das Erinnern niemals sterben.

Style of Music
Immediate Hammond and analog synth motif from first second, NO HUMMING, NO WORDLESS VOCALS, NO GENERIC POP VOICES.

Deep weathered storyteller voice, fragile emotional tenor, warm female contralto, distant multilingual choir, occasional spoken phrases, constant vocal variation throughout song. Rich Hammond Leslie, cathedral organ, massive analog synth pads, expressive Moog leads, emotional piano arpeggios, Mellotron flute textures, vibraphone accents, shimmering guitars, orchestral swells, deep melodic bass, organic live drums with dynamic tom work. Instrumental sections dominate identity with long melodic development and atmospheric transitions. Dreamlike floating middle section, dark beginning transforming gradually into luminous hopeful finale. Human imperfections, emotional realism, progressive structure, spiritual atmosphere, unforgettable melodic themes, completely non-commercial art r
