The Victory of Light

Wer ist dein Meister?

Erlöse Mich

A stark protest song about modern warfare at a distance. The lyrics follow a drone operator caught between the cold detachment of screens and the bloody reality that never reaches him directly. Blending haunting imagery with blunt reportage, the track highlights how war can look like a video game from afar while leaving devastating human costs on the ground. A mix of storytelling and protest, it closes with a plain-speech quote that grounds the song in real numbers and real grief.

(Verse 1)
He’s a ghost in the house, a shadow in the wire
Trained by the code, not his own desire
Virtual headset on, release the drone
A strike in the desert, a place he’s never known

Chorus
They tell me it’s a war, but it looks like a screen
The bodies are falling where he’s never been
The killing feels distant, the carnage unseen
Just numbers and targets in a terrible machine

Verse 2
He goes to sleep and sees the faces, the ones he never knew
Flickering like static, in a hell that’s something new
Tries to tell his wife about the ghosts that haunt the screen
She says, “honey, it’s a war, and it’s something you have never seen”

Chorus
They tell me it’s a war, but it looks like a screen
The bodies are falling where he’s never been
The killing feels distant, the carnage unseen
Just numbers and targets in a terrible machine

Bridge
Every single mission, every single kill
Is just another credit, another box to fill
A target in the crosshairs, a pixel on a screen
The most expensive video game the world has ever seen

Final Verse
He shuts down the system, and goes out in the sun
His only enemy, the quiet syrup in his veins
He sees the kids at the bus stop, their laughter like a chime
And a thousand miles away, he doesn’t recognize his crimes

[Plain Speech]
"The Gaza Health Ministry has reported a staggering death toll of over 64,000 Palestinians since the war began, with a significant proportion being women and children"




ANOTHER DIGITAL SOLDIER

Why do you do
What you do
Why do you think
It's okay

Do you believe in you
Do you believe in yourself
Do you have the strength

Say No to Vanity
Say No to Vanity
Say No to Vanity
Say No to Vanity

Sometimes
We need a little help in this world
Sometimes
We need love
Sometimes
We need support
Sometimes
Self-belief isn't enough

To

Say No to Vanity
Say No to Vanity
Say No to Vanity
Say No to Vanity

If someone helps you
Makes sure
You pay them back
Not only to them
But to someone else
Who needs the hack

Of life
Of strength
Of love
And support

And to

Say No to Vanity
Say No to Vanity
Say No to Vanity
Say No to Vanity

Keep on your purpose
No one else needs to know

Don't manipulate others
Don't trick them into something wrong
Don't manipulate others
Love and support
Keeps us all strong

And don't forget

Say No to Vanity
Say No to Vanity
Say No to Vanity
Say No to Vanity

Say No To Vanity!

Attention please… I’m never late

When I Feel You

Apoptygma Berzerk se creó en Noruega el 1989 por Stefan Groth junto a Jon Erik Martisen, cuya música estaba clasificada dentro del género de la EBM, y claramente influenciada por Front 242 y Nitzer EBB. Poco después editaron un par de maquetas e iniciaron un primer contacto con Tatra Records, que editó el maxi-single «Ashes to Ashes» en 1991.

A principios de 1993 editaron el EP «The Seconds Manifesto», y telonearon a Nitzer Ebb, Young Gods y Die Krupps. «Soli Deo Gloria» (1994) era uno de los álbumes más esperados del año, y sin duda cumplió con las expectativas creadas.

Stefan esperó dos años para presentar el segundo larga duración de Apoptygma Berzerk titulado «7». Éste es el álbum que marca un antes y un después en su carrera: suma a su sonido influencias del techno y el pop electrónico de los ochenta. Las ventas de este disco se disparan.

Durante 1997 Apoptygma Berzerk edita «Mourn E.P». Su buena reputación y fama hace que en 1998, grandes bandas como Front 242 y Project Pitchfork les encarguen remezclas para maxi-singles. También realizan su primer tour en USA, donde reúnen a más de 20.000 personas.

En 1999 editan un álbum en directo y se encierran en el estudio para empezar la grabación del tercer álbum. «Welcome to Earth» ve la luz a principios del 2000. Modernos ritmos Techno-Trance, deliciosas voces pop… El álbum se convierte en nº1 de las listas alternativas alemanas durante más de 6 meses.
