[quote] I love Immediate Music and Globus, and the music is breathtaking. The lyrics for this one, though, really do not sit well with me. It's not a call to end war. It's a rather incongruous list of all the bloodshed of Europe's history (which is true) mixed with declaring a new religious war and calling for divine help in said war.
This stanza clearly lays out the "western world" vs. "insurgents.. on our shores". Unfortunately, I take that to mean immigrants. ( Europe has even bigger anti-immigration issues than the US does at this point.)
"Of new crusades, religious wars Insurgents imported to our shores The western world, gripped in fear The mother of all battles here"
This clause is an obvious reference to terrorism. Which would be OK if it was condemning it, but the first line suggests "the children of those we threw out". Which makes it a revenge attack?
"Decendants of the dispossessed / Return with bombs strapped to their chests"
The caliphate reference here is blatantly a Muslim reference:
"There's hate for life, and death in hate / Emerging from the new caliphate"
And of course "the bomb" in this case is obviously nuclear:
"Drop the bomb, end this fight! / Never again!"
And yet the Never Again line is completely out of place. That's generally taken as a reference to the Holocaust, and a call to *end* racism and genocide. To use that line immediately after a call to nuclear war is... weird at best.
Were the song a call for divine intervention to finally put an end to war and bloodshed, I'd be fine with it. But it's not. I see it very clearly as a call for divine intervention in yet-another religious war, to ensure (Christian?) Europe's dominance for the next thousand years. And then it mixes in a 20th century please for peace at the end.
I almost wish it could make up its mind. A song that is all "ra-ra Europa, let's kick ass in the world" I could deal with. One that calls on the goddess of Europe to put and end to 2000 years of bloodshed I could deal with. But switching back and forth like that, especially in an openly racist fashion, well, just doesn't sit well and is not up to the amazing nature of the music behind it.
In conclusion the song is about European warfare and has a very clear anti- Islam message. I think that declaring this song racist is incorrect it is certainly anti-Islamic however.

From Agincourt to Waterloo
Poitiers and then Anjou
The Roses War, the Hundred Years
Through battlefields of blood and tears
From Bosworth Field to Pointe Du Hoc
Stalingrad and the siege of York
The bloody turf of Gallipoli
Had no effect on the killing spree
Bannockburn to Austerlitz
The fall of France and the German Blitz
The cruelest of atrocities
Europa's blood is borne of these
Heaven help in all our battles
Heaven send love, heaven help us
Bolsheviks and feudal lords
Chivalry to civil wars
Fascist rule and genocide
Now we face the rising tide
Of new crusades, religious wars
Insurgents imported to our shores
To western world, gripped in fear
The mother of all battles here
Heaven help in all our battles
Heaven send love, heaven help us
Avant hier, avons etre
Deja demain, (nous) sommes eclairee
For glory, For honor
Victory is upon us
Our savior, fight evil
Send armies to defend us
Empires built and nations burned
Mass graves remain unturned
Decendants of the dispossessed
Return with bombs strapped to their chests
There's hate for life and death in hate
Emerging from a new caliphate
The victors of this war on fear
Will rule for the next thousand years
For glory, For honor
Victory is upon us
Our savior, fight evil
Send armies to defend us
Europa, Europa
Find better days before us
In kindness, in spirit
Lead us to a greater calling
Leningrad, Berlin Wall
March on Rome, Bzyantium's Fall
Lightning War, Dresden Night
Drop a bomb, end this fight
NEVER AGAIN!
