"Maybe Hell's Not Fire" (Unplugged Ballad) - performed by Adelheide's Wisdom

A new, soulful interpretation from the "Hinter uns das Land" universe: Adelheide's Wisdom, the conceptual band from Beyond & Before Music, presents "Maybe Hell's Not Fire" as an intimate unplugged ballad. This version strips the song down to its emotional core, telling a universal story of memory, loss, and the quiet hope that shimmers in the dark.

Carried by a memorable, fingerpicked acoustic guitar and a wistful harmonica, the poetic lyrics unfold with a special intensity. The drums are used only subtly, leaving space for the vocals and the melancholic melody to breathe.

This is a song designed to give you goosebumps, taking you on a search for the lost "fireflies" of life.

"Maybe Hell's Not Fire" (Unplugged Ballad) - performed by Adelheide's Wisdom

Eine neue, gefühlvolle Interpretation aus dem "Hinter uns das Land"-Universum: Adelheide's Wisdom, die konzeptuelle Band von Beyond & Before Music, präsentiert "Maybe Hell's Not Fire" als intime Unplugged-Ballade. Diese Version reduziert den Song auf seinen emotionalen Kern und erzählt eine universelle Geschichte von Erinnerung, Verlust und der leisen Hoffnung, die in der Dunkelheit schimmert.

Getragen von einer einprägsamen, fingergezupften Akustikgitarre und einer sehnsüchtigen Mundharmonika, entfaltet sich der poetische Text mit einer besonderen Intensität. Das Schlagzeug wird nur sehr dezent eingesetzt und lässt Raum für die Stimme und die melancholische Melodie.

Ein Song, der unter die Haut geht und auf die Suche nach den verlorenen "Glühwürmchen" des Lebens mitnimmt – ein garantierter Gänsehauteffekt.

lyrics:

Your voice still hums in the upstairs room –
A dusty Metallica tape on play...
The ribbon bled through every tune...
Now the silence screams...
Your name.

I count the cracks in every wall,
Where our heights in blood were scrawled...
The house forgets...
But the shadows...
Still crawl.

I'm forging the sparks...
To burn their lies to flame!
What the storm stole in whispers...
I scream...
In chains!

And though the road still reeks of pain...
I'll walk it...
Anyway!

The oak tree swings with a noose so tight,
Its roots are snakes in the cellar light...
They told me "cut it down"...
I whispered "try"...
Now the axe rusts...
Underground.

"Maybe hell's not fire...
Just a room where ghosts
Rewrite your story...
In charcoal...
And smoke..."

I'm forging the sparks...
To light your face anew!
What the wind couldn't carry...
The dead...
Remember you!

And when the sirens sing my name...
I'll laugh...
And fade...
Away.

Maybe Hell's Not Fire

It’s out there.
It knows where you live.
It waits for YOU
And no matter how fast you run,
it’s still one step behind.

LOVE Is Here

Album Title: After The Bat Was Freed ... But Before Metal Died

An Ozzy Requiem

Description:

This is more than an album. This is a requiem. A two-part rock opera epic exploring the complete life, legacy, and psychological journey of a rock and roll icon. Performed by the virtual progressive metal band Adelheide's Wisdom.

LP 1: "After The Bat Was Freed ... But Before Metal Died"
A nine-act narrative that chronicles the rise and reflection of a legend. The journey begins in the industrial haze of 1960s Birmingham, capturing the spark of a Beatles-inspired dream ("The Day The Bat Was Freed"). It crashes through the chaotic birth of a new sound ("Sounds Like a Bunch of Cats Fightin'"), explores the creation of the demonic "Madman" persona ("They Call Me The Madman"), and descends into the self-destructive excesses of the 80s ("Wings of Sin"). The album finds its emotional core in the heartbreaking ballad "I Was Just A Dreamer," before culminating in a final, monumental tribute to the man behind the myth ("Prince of Eternal Fire").

7. I Was Just a Dreamer

The turning point: The album's grand, emotional power ballad. This is the "morning after," the moment of catharsis and vulnerable reflection after all the excess. The loud facade of the "Madman" crumbles, revealing the heartbroken dreamer behind the mask.

Official Song Description: Adelheide's Wisdom – "I Was Just A Dreamer"
What remains when the spotlights fade and the myths begin to crack?

With "I Was Just A Dreamer," the virtual band Adelheide's Wisdom releases the first single and emotional centerpiece from their monumental concept album, "The Laughing Shadow: An Ozzy Requiem."

This epic power ballad is a profound and heartbreaking confession that looks behind the facade of the "Prince of Darkness." It tells a story of deep inner conflict – from the celebrated rock star on the world's biggest stage to the lonely "ghost at home," alienated from his own family and confronted with a lifetime of "scrambled eggs and mistakes."

Beginning with a fragile, intimate piano theme, the song unfolds into a massive, orchestral anthem. The haunting duet vocals of Adelheide and André guide the listener through a landscape of regret, pain, and the faint, almost lost hope for forgiveness.

"I Was Just A Dreamer" is more than just a song; it is the key to understanding the entire requiem. It is a meditation on the price of fame, the walls we build around ourselves, and the tragic search of a man trying to master the one role that always seemed out of reach: that of a father.

We all together worked day and night. As the Godfather of Metal was a musical role model and one of the first albums that our producer bought was 'Paranoid'.

Lyrics (by Frank Talmon l'Armée]

I Was Just a Dreamer

Spotlights burn my face, 
the crowds scream my name 
But it ain't my name, 
just a mask in the game. 
At home there are wrinkled hands and plates, 
Scrambled eggs and a life of mistakes.

Who's the mask, who's the face? 
Am I lost inside this place?

I'm a fading star with a burning heart, 
A joke to them, 
a ghost at home from the start. 
I'm screaming out but it falls apart...

All he ever wanted... was a father

Frozen clocks in an empty room, 
Maps lead nowhere, 
the compass a tomb.

But the wind still carries ancient tunes, 
Of brighter days and kinder moons.

And maybe tomorrow... 
The sun will break through... 

I was just a dreamer 
I dreamt my life anyway 
I was just a dreamer 
missing mostly better days

[Solo]

And the wind still carries ancient tunes, 
Of brighter days and kinder moons.

And maybe tomorrow... 
The sun will break through... 

I was just a dreamer 
I dreamt my life anyway 
I was just a dreamer 
missing mostly better days

They cheer for the beast... 
but my kids...

I Was Just a Dreamer

Official Song Description: Adelheide's Wisdom – "The Day When Metal Died (Act III: The Historical Marker)"

What does it sound like when 250,000 fans mourn their hero in unison?

Adelheide's Wisdom delivers a preview of their forthcoming epic, "The Day When Metal Died," with the release of the monumental third act, "The Historical Marker." This track is not just a song; it's a visceral, immersive experience designed to place the listener directly into the heart of a massive, passionate stadium crowd.

Driven by the raw, majestic energy of classic 80s heavy metal, the song combines galloping rhythms and soaring twin-guitar harmonies with a soundscape that captures the electric atmosphere of a legendary live concert. In this powerful chapter of the requiem, the private grief of the earlier acts transforms into a collective, defiant roar.

"The Historical Marker" is the moment the fans raise their voices, the moment a tribute becomes a timeless anthem. It's a sonic monument where the roar of the audience becomes an instrument in itself, creating a powerful, shared ritual of remembrance.

This is Act III of a larger story, a Glimpse into the epic scale of the full requiem to come.

An Epic Novel. A Sonic Universe. One True Story.

Welcome to the sonic universe of "Behind Us The Land" (Hinter uns das Land). What began as a soundtrack for an epic historical novel has evolved into a global, cross-genre music phenomenon, celebrated by millions of listeners and a worldwide community of artists.

Discover the different worlds within this project:

The official soundtrack to the 80-year true story of the Feyerabend family.

The epic progressive metal of the virtual band Adelheide's Wisdom.

The chart-topping indie pop of the virtual artist Ulla F.

Helmed by author, producer, and lifelong music curator Frank Talmon l'Armée, this project is the result of a deep-seated passion for music and storytelling. As the human visionary, he employs a hybrid method of traditional songwriting and the pioneering use of AI tools as his "orchestra" to bring this monumental saga to life.

This is a place for deep listeners, for fans of epic stories and genre-defying music. Dive in, explore the albums and playlists, and become part of a story that connects the past with the future.

At its heart, 'Behind Us The Land' is more than just the 80-year story of one German family. It's a universal parable about loss, resilience, and the unbreakable will to build a new home from the ruins – a story that repeats itself tens of thousands of times every single day, all over the world. Our music aims to give a voice to this universal experience and to inspire courage.

OUR VISION & MISSION

Our Vision: We believe that resilience can make even the deepest wounds bearable.

Our Mission: This project is dedicated to a profoundly human, true story to achieve two things:

To Bear Witness: To show what war does to ordinary people and how its scars echo for generations.

To Give Courage: To strengthen and inspire anyone who has suffered loss or lived through difficult times.

This is music as a testament. A story that repeats itself every day.

A Beyond & Before Music production.
