Caught in this trap

A deathtrap for our senses

Detained because of this war

A so called “war on terrorism”

When the day turns into night

There's no way to take a rest

A sound like bells out of hell

Is running through our heads

The sounds are marching

like grunting pigs

into our innocent ears

But we try to stay alive

to escape this Babylon

of loudness -

Ear-battering noise

They want to let us know

that they are the champions

But no one wins a gold medal

in this senseless war

It seems like they're firing

shots to thrill our bodies

by shouting profane slogans

like “Fuck your God”

The sounds are marching

like grunting pigs

into our innocent ears

But we try to stay alive

to escape this Babylon

of loudness -

Ear-splitting pain

We feel dirty and ashamed

not just somewhat damaged

But sandman doesn’t enter

this place of restlessness

How far can a man go?

When does this madness end?

The sounds are marching

like grunting pigs

into our innocent ears

But we try to stay alive

to escape this Babylon

of loudness -

Ear-deafening agony
