He went on a mission in a far off land In merciless heat all covered in sand He vanished from sight in the vast dry sea God please send back my soldier to me He went off to fight a war unplanned Sent by people who don’t understand He’s just a number not even a name He’s just a pawn in a political game Under the sand there lies black gold The reason why some will never get old It’s no reason that one soldier should die Maybe we should all be asking why Please search the desert the huge sandy sea Try to find my soldier for me He went off to fight in that far away land Now you have lost him In those vast seas of sand. He went on a mission in a far off land In merciless heat all covered in sand He vanished from sight in the vast dry sea God please send back my soldier to me

Opfer der Zeit

By Roland Köhler


Es handelt sich hierbei um eine Art deutsche Version der Songs "Victims" und "Time" von Culture Club. Dieser Text entstand auf der Rückfahrt von Schladming im Oktober 2012, wo mir in einem kleinen Tal der Tod begegnet war. Oben war es schön warm, in diesem Tal schlagartig eiskalt und frostig und ich war überzeugt den Tod zu spüren. Dort kam mir die Melodie zu "Victims" in den Sinn und schrie verlangend nach einem deutschen Text. In der darauffolgenden Nacht kam eine Freundin von mir nach einem Herzanfall ins Krankenhaus. Sie hat es überlebt, ich habe ihr diesen Song gewidmet.
