We awaken from
our slumber, by the paces --
of a grave death march.
Sluimerend schrikken	Wir schlummerten und
we wakker van de schreden --	erwachen zu den Schritten --
van een dodenmars.	des Todesmarsches.

of power drowns weaknesses,
displaces sorrow.

overstemt de zwakheden,	der Macht übertönt Schwächen --
verdringt het verdriet.	und verdrängt Trauer.

through each other, thus forming --
a tightly closed front.
De gelederen	Durcheinander marsch-
