Metternich
Battle of the nations, blood and fear and death
Thousands fought with fury till their dying breath
Friedrich Wilhelm III.
Crush the western tyrant, force him to his knees
Liberating Europe, dawn of destinies
Wilhelm I.
Wars of liberation left our lands blood red
Yet the dreams of liberty were never left for dead
Metternich
Out of today’s ashes a nation will arise
Hear the peoples’ voices soaring to the skies
Franz I.
As the Holy Empire was buried by time’s hands
With justice and god-given strength we will rule the lands
Metternich
Confederation – Divided and as one
Confederation – Bow nevermore
Confederation – Never again we’ll run
Confederation – The end of war
The Rhine is running in my veins and it always will
Europe is in our hands, time will not stand still
Franz I.
Our beloved Vienna, this is where we’ll be
Council of the great lords shaping Europe’s destiny
Wilhelm I.
For weeks and endless months no silence falls
Words never cease
Friedrich Wilhelm III.
We’re on the edge of battle when our duty calls
While everything we really want is to live in peace
Franz I.
Unity and liberty, this is what they say
Monarchy’s downfall in France is what paved the way
Friedrich Wilhelm III.
Young men speak of liberty, honour, fatherland
I must fear this situation’s getting out of hand
Franz I.
Kotzebue is murdered, a dagger in his chest
“Traitor of the fatherland”, Sand put him to rest
Metternich
This is everything I need, all I need to do
I will teach that lawless scum, punishment is due
Fraternities will be banned, censoring the press
Universities they must be purified no less
Friedrich Wilhelm III.
In the shadow of the gates of Karlsbad we will sign
The decrees that keep them down, our reign is divine
Wilhelm I.
Young men of our good lands, sons of liberty
Dreaming of a nation, one day to be free
Friedrich Wilhelm III.
There’ll be no constitution no matter what I said
Only god will judge me no matter how they bled
Metternich
There’ll be no new beginnings, the young must learn
The present past
Wilhelm I.
In Wartburg’s castle walls songs for freedom yearn
How long will our confederation be made to last
