Metal Rain Over Berlin: Echoes of War and Lost Innocence
Lyrics
It's getting dark, too dark to see
Darkness has fallen, making it difficult to see.
The streets run cold with anarchy
The streets are filled with disorder and chaos.

Mass slaughter, human holocaust
A large-scale killing of people, likened to a human catastrophe.
Fire over Berlin

Nobody's safe

Berlin, it's all too late
