Subway to Sally - Besser du rennst

I promised music from diverse genres, but now I'm posting another rock video. Sorry about that! But this is one of my favorite band's new songs, so you'll just have to deal with it. :)

Subway to Sally is usually credited as being the first Mittelalter Rock (aka Medieval Metal) band. Their sound is similar to Folk Metal, but generally less harsh, fast, and upbeat. They have evolved significantly over the years to the point where I'm not even sure if their latest album conforms to the label of Mittelalter Rock, but they're still good. Herzblut, Hochzeit, and Nord Nord Ost are my favorite albums of theirs.

"Besser Du Rennst" is from Subway to Sally's newest album, Kreuzfeuer. This isn't my favorite song of theirs, and I'm not all that impressed by the video, but they aren't well known outside Germany, so they don't have many videos to choose from.

Once again, the translation and similar bands can be found below the cut.




Empty your bags
Throw everything on the floor
You don't need these things
That weigh down your coat

You have cheated yourself
Of truth and of time
That demonically quickly vanished
You're borrowing your life

You will destroy everything here
I can only swear to you
It is time to start anew
It is time to flee

Better that you go
Better that you move
Better that you run
As fast as you can
And as far
As your breath can take you

Better that you go
Better that you move
Better that you run
As fast as you can
Don't turn around
Maybe you'll escape sometime

Better that you run

Say goodbye to everyone
To the days gone by
Let your stars dance
Clear the air at last

For you must now dare everything
You should not hold any sorrow
The world continues to turn
With or without you

You will destroy everything here
I can only swear to you
It is time to start anew
It is time to flee

Better that you go
Better that you move
Better that you run
As fast as you can
And as far
As your breath can take you

Better that you go
Better that you move
Better that you run
As fast as you can
Don't turn around
Maybe you'll escape sometime

Better that you go
Better that you move
Better that you run

You will destroy everything here
I can only swear to you
It is time to start anew
It is time to flee

Better that you go
Better that you move
Better that you run
As fast as you can
And as far
As your breath can take you

Better that you go
Better that you move
Better that you run
As fast as you can
Don't turn around
Maybe you'll escape sometime

Better that you go
Better that you move
Better that you run
As fast as you can
And as far
As your breath can take you

Better that you go
Better that you move
Better that you run
As fast as you can
Don't turn around
Maybe you'll escape sometime

Better that you go
Better that you move
Better that you run

Better that you run
