"The Sparrows and the Nightingales"

How long have you been free
In this world of hate and greed?
Is it black or is it white?
Let's find another compromise

And our future's standing still
We're dancing in the spotlight
Where's the leader who leads me?
I'm still waiting! Leaving home...

And god is on your side
Dividing sparrows from the nightingales
Watching all the time
Dividing water from the burning fire... inside

Leave a light on in the night for me
That I can find you
Remember when we both where young
And reckless and so curious

Now you're hiding from your child
A new day's dawning
Remember that you felt alive... sometimes

And god is on your side
Dividing cruelty from tenderness
Watching all the time
Dividing fiction from reality

Move in circles, walk on lines
No human being in sight
Calm the winds and calm the seas
Try another kind of peace
Who fights this holy civil war?
A million men in uniform
Wo ist der Führer der mich führt?
Ich warte immer noch! Leaving home...

And god is on your side
Dividing presence from our1 history
Watching all the time
Dividing deaf men from the listening ones

Leave a light on in the night for me
That I can find you
Remember when we both where young
And reckless and so curious

Now you're hiding from your child
A new day's dawning
Remember that you felt alive... sometimes

And god is on your side
Dividing cruelty from tenderness
Watching all the time
Dividing fiction from reality

Move in circles, walk on lines
No human being in sight
Calm the winds and calm the seas
Try another kind of peace
Who fights this holy civil war?
A million men in uniform
Wo ist der Führer der mich führt?
Ich warte immer noch! Leaving home...

And god is on your side
Dividing soldiers from the fishermen
Watching all the time
Dividing warships from the ferryboats...

The Sparrows and the Nightingales is my track + video favorite!!!

[ThanassiV01]

I mean heart not heard.

I feel my heart when I hear this song.

@jmbrosendo I, for one don't associate gothic music and metal in any way. Sure there are some bands that try to bring both together. I like both of these kinds of music and there are some commonalities, i think. I like industrial, gothic rock,new- and Dark Wave, death metal, pagan metal and power metal.

very variied.

[jmbrosendo]

Easy to forget there was a time when gothic music was not necessarily associated with metal. Pity.

@spydersrun Yes, this was big at the goth clubs, still a favorite of mine. I think I know the true meaning of it, but still I need to ask to be sure. Do you know what it's about?

[annamelia765]

What is this song really about?



[mara9971]

Oli hats oft gespielt........

[spydersrun]

This song reminds me of everything from ex's to dancing at the goth clubs to DJing and playing this song and seeing every single person stop what they were doing to dance. Wolfsheim is something that I am sure, is missed by all who have heard them.

Ja, schöööönet Ding! ;o)

Back in the late '90s, a retro / gothy club in Atlanta called the Vault in the Buckhead region of town played this song would come on and the dance floor would become a circus of expressive dance. I can't believe it has been over 10 years already. Great track. Fans of Chapter 13 and Xymox would enjoy this.
