Text skladby No Turning Back
z alba Der Schattenjäger
(Verse 1)
I hear the engines start to hum,
The sky is waiting, cold and numb.
I was born for this, I know the drill,
But something’s heavy, and it feels so still.
These clouds don’t answer when I call,
We’re just ghosts, above it all.
I’ve flown through fire, I’ve seen the night,
But this time I don’t know what’s right.
(Pre-Chorus)
Am I the hunter, or am I prey?
Is this the moment I fly away?
Or crash and burn in the afterglow,
Do we rise, or let go?
(Anthemic Chorus)
There’s no turning back, we’re out of time,
The stars are fading, and the sun won’t shine.
We’re on the edge, and I can’t pretend,
I’ll fly until I reach the end.
No turning back, it’s written in the sky,
I’ll fly this mission, I won’t ask why.
We fight, we fall, and we rise again,
No turning back, no turning back again.
(Verse 2)
I’ve seen my share of broken wings,
I’ve heard the dying angels sing.
This path was chosen, but it feels so cold,
The air is thick with lies we’ve told.
Every target marked on maps we make,
Another life that’s ours to take.
I’ve worn this armor, I’ve worn it well,
But now it feels like we’re chasing hell.
(Pre-Chorus)
Am I the hero, or am I blind?
Chasing shadows I’ll never find.
I’ve made my choice, but I still don’t know,
Is it worth the cost of letting go?
(Chorus)
There’s no turning back, we’re out of time,
The stars are fading, and the sun won’t shine.
We’re on the edge, and I can’t pretend,
I’ll fly until I reach the end.
No turning back, it’s written in the sky,
I’ll fly this mission, I won’t ask why.
We fight, we fall, and we rise again,
No turning back, no turning back again.
(Bridge)
I see the horizon, but it’s slipping away,
I’ll follow the mission, but who will pay?
These wings were meant to soar,
But are we fighting for more?
Or just burning out the light?
Tell me, what’s wrong, what’s right?
(Final cathartic, intense Chorus)
There’s no turning back, we’re out of time,
The stars are fading, and the sun won’t shine.
We’re on the edge, and I can’t pretend,
I’ll fly until I reach the end.
No turning back, it’s written in the sky,
I’ll fly this mission, I won’t ask why.
We fight, we fall, and we rise again,
No turning back, no turning back again.
(Outro)
No turning back… no turning back…
We rise, we fall…
No turning back again…
