Krieger Lyrics in English Blutengel

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Krieger by Blutengel from German to English.
False faith and conformity
We don't wanna hear your words
You can only reap what you sow
You can't destroy our will
You can't destroy our will
And even if the world is in flames
We'll rise again
So raise your fists, up to the light
You won't get our black souls
And even if the world is in flames
We'll rise again
So raise your fists, up to the light
You won't get our black souls
You're scared of what you don't know
We don't fit into your system
We're brighter than the sun, we're darker than the night
Darker than the night
We're warriors without weapons, our will is our power
Is our power
And even if the world is in flames
We'll rise again
So raise your fists, up to the light
You won't get our black souls
And even if the world is in flames
We'll rise again
So raise your fists, up to the light
You won't get our black souls
And even if the world is in flames
We'll rise again
So raise your fists, up to the light
You won't get our black souls
And even if the world is in flames
We'll rise again
So raise your fists, up to the light
You won't get our black souls

SONG MEANING

Krieger (German for Warrior) is a gothic battle-cry against blind conformity. The song dismisses “false belief and conformity”, warning that oppressors will only reap what they sow. Even if the entire world is “in flames”, these warriors swear they will “rise again”. With the chant “Hoch die Fäuste” (raise your fists), Blutengel urges listeners to thrust their hands toward the light while guarding their own “black souls”, a vivid symbol of untouchable individuality.

At its core, the track celebrates unconventional heroes: “warriors without weapons”. Their strength is pure willpower—brighter than the sun yet darker than night. The message is clear: true power comes from standing apart, thinking for yourself, and refusing to be boxed into any system. Whether you feel like an outsider or just need a surge of courage, “Krieger” is a sonic shield that reminds you that identity, conviction, and spirit can never be destroyed.
