Germany - The Machine

[Intro] Cold lights over concrete lines White paint frozen in straight designs [Verse 1] We line up before the sound Boots on frozen training ground Ball placed still at the mark Waiting in the dark [Verse 2] Steps repeat, left then right Touch and pass, no wasted stride Lines are sharp, goal stands bare Net unmoved, waiting there [Pre-Chorus] We don’t shout, we don’t pray Kickoff comes, we’re in play [Chorus] Gear by gear, frame by frame No fire, no flame We don’t rise, we don’t fall Wir gehen voran, das ist alles [Instrumental] [mechanical instrumental break, tension builds without melody] [Verse 3] Stadium breathing cold and slow Concrete seats in ordered rows Crowds are quiet, faces blend Ninety minutes to suspend [Pre-Chorus] No signs raised, no demand Just the pitch beneath our stand [Chorus] Gear by gear, frame by frame Same motion, same game No voices, no refrain Wir gehen voran, das ist alles [Outro] Final whistle cuts the air Scoreboard still, we’re already there [Instrumental Break] [Spoken] Nebenbei. Bestes Bier.
