[00:02.20]Written by：Stormwitch/Höninger
[00:20.39]When I'd attained the age of seventeen
[00:24.74]My parents send me to a cadet school
[00:29.53]All my fellow students were like me
[00:33.92]Coming from distinguished homes
[00:38.31]They treated us hard but not unfairly
[00:43.00]They drilled us and we learned to stand straight
[00:47.30]We looked so fine in our uniforms
[00:51.44]And our parents were so proud of us
[01:14.81]We went to many fancy dress balls
[01:19.09]And met the sisters of our fellow friends
[01:23.69]And also women that we shouldn't know
[01:28.01]But these were things that we kept for ourselves
[01:32.82]We didn't have
[01:34.95]The faintest notion
[01:37.29]What fighting on the battleground means
[01:41.93]In those days everything was glorious
[01:46.33]And the departure was not easy for us
[02:31.59]The rain whips my face and like struck by lightning
[02:34.00]My comrade falls near by my side
[02:37.31]I creep over him I pull him back
[02:40.18]Hopefully he is alive
[02:42.63]Through smoke fire and blood through all that hellfire
[02:45.79]I carry him safe to our camp
[02:48.41]But in my excitement I lost attention
[02:51.15]That something has taken his soul
[02:54.20]Was it worth the price this human sacrifice
[03:00.53]I have tried it with might and rain
[03:05.76]Alas but I had to underlay
[03:11.38]Against the Death everything's in vein
[03:16.78]I was just a puppet in a play
[03:27.88]I'm wounded and sick
[03:29.14]My comrade beside me
[03:30.48]Is wounded and struggles with death
[03:33.46]I try to help him as best I can
[03:36.30]All in this horror and pain
[03:38.85]In blaze blood and danger with kindred emotions
[03:41.82]I try to ease his mind
[03:44.71]But deep dark shadows that move like monsters
[03:47.43]Shake him and time him away
[03:50.36]Was it worth the price
[03:52.97]This human sacrifice
[03:56.73]I have tried it with might and rain
[04:02.05]Alas but I had to underlay
[04:07.60]Against the death everything's in vein
[04:12.83]I was just a puppet in a play
[04:22.88]In a play
[05:03.39]Now war is over but I'm still in service
[05:06.10]I survived in this horrible dream
[05:09.11]I miss my brother who deserted the colours
[05:11.68]He wrote me he is alive
[05:14.67]By night fall they called me for an execution
[05:17.34]But oh God what did I see
[05:20.15]These clear proud eyes were the eyes of my brother
[05:22.98]I close my eyes as I shoot
[05:25.91]Was it worth the price
[05:28.63]This human sacrifice
[05:32.37]I have tried it with might and rain
[05:37.60]Alas but I had to underlay
[05:43.33]Against the death everything's in vein
[05:48.45]I was just a puppet in a play
[05:58.36]In a play
