Verscharrt Und Ungerühmt Lyrics in English KANONENFIEBER

Verscharrt und Ungerühmt plunges listeners into the frozen trenches of World War I, telling a stark story of soldiers who march step by step through No Man’s Land with no hope of turning back. The narrator grips his rifle, fully aware that his destiny is to be buried hurriedly and without honor. By repeating the chilling phrase “Verscharrt und ungerühmt” (buried and uncelebrated), the song underlines the brutal anonymity awaiting countless fighters on both sides.

KANONENFIEBER emphasizes that, beneath the uniforms, enemy soldiers share the same loyalty, fear, and regret. Fathers, sons, and husbands crouch in opposite trenches, yet their fates mirror each other. In the end, death erases all divisions: the narrator lies lifeless in No Man’s Land, hand in hand with the foe, symbolizing the ultimate equality found in suffering and sacrifice. This grim anthem serves as a haunting reminder of war’s waste, urging us to remember those who vanished without glory.
