Ins Niemandsland Lyrics in English KANONENFIEBER

Imagine strapping on a heavy steel helmet, stepping into a fog-choked night, and hearing your name barked out among rows of trembling soldiers. That is where Kanonenfieber begins their tale. “Ins Niemandsland” plunges you straight into the cratered battlefields of World War I, where orders are short, cold, and merciless: drive the English back. With vivid images of grenades clipped to belts, gas masks at the ready, and earth erupting in fiery fountains, the lyrics recreate the tense march toward No Man’s Land—a place where mud, smoke, and fear swallow identities in seconds.

The chorus pounds like artillery—“Nach vorn zum Sturm, auf in den Kampf” (“Forward to the assault, into the fight”)—showing how commanders treat human lives as expendable pieces on a board. Kanonenfieber’s narrative is less about glory and more about the raw, chaotic terror of modern warfare. Shredding guitars and relentless drums mirror exploding shells, while the repeated line “So schicken sie uns in das Niemandsland” (“That’s how they send us into No Man’s Land”) hammers home the song’s core message: the faceless cruelty of war and the burning hearts of those forced to endure it.
