"Carry On" - From the "Hinter uns das Land" / "Behind Us The Land" Project

This is "Carry On," an epic metal rock ballad (5:57 min) by Beyond & Before Music, inspired by the novel "Hinter uns das Land" ("Behind Us The Land") by Frank Talmon l'Armée.

Imagine a conceptual band, "Adelheid's Wisdom," performing this track: A powerful, emotional male lead vocal tells a story of overcoming adversity, of stumbling and rising again. He's supported by haunting, mystical female and male vocals and an epic soundscape blending the intimacy of piano and cello with the power of distorted guitars, driving drums, and orchestral elements.

The song features dynamic shifts, a spoken word interlude with thunderous undertones, a soaring guitar solo (melodic building to a shred), and a massive final chorus. It's a song about the scars that make us stronger, the battles within, and the unbreakable spirit that carries us on, together.

This track is a deep dive into themes of resilience, inner strength, and the hope that endures even in the darkest of times.

"Carry On" (Complete Epic Rock Ballad Lyrics)

[MYSTIC INTRO – André] 
There’s a road where shadows whisper...
Where the lost and lonely gather...
Every scar a buried secret...
Every step... a choice to matter...

[VERSE 1 -André] 
The road of life, a winding, rugged track,
Sometimes a gentle slope, sometimes no turning back.
You see the storm clouds gather, feel the chilling breeze,
And stumble over stones that bring you to your knees.
A heart can shatter... 
(Echo - Elfriede) shatter...
Like fragile, fallen glass...
(Echo - Elfriede) glass… 
Hopes can dim and falter...
Watch the moments... pass... 

[PRE-CHORUS 1 - Adelheide] 
But in that silence, when you’re standing all alone...
You hear a whisper... 
a voice you’ve always known...
A spark to light the darkness...
To re-ignite... the flame... 

[CHORUS 1 – André] 
WE CARRY ON! WE CARRY ON! Together! Side by side!
Through the deepest valleys! Across the raging tide!
Every scar... a lesson! 
Every tear... a sign!
This unbreakable spirit...
(Adelheide) Yours... and... mine!

[VERSE 2 - Adelheide] 
You might have built your fortress... upon the shifting sand...
Watched it wash away... 
(Echo) away...
By forces... you can’t command...
(André) The echoes of a promise... 
A dream you held... so tight...
Fades into the shadows...
Of an endless... lonely night...

[MYSTIC INTERLUDE 2 - André] 
The storm you fear... is already inside...
(Adelheide and André) It carved your courage... from the mountain of pride...

(Adelheide) 
The chains that bind you... are forged by your hand...
Now strike the anvil... and reshape... the land...

[INTRO – REPRISE – André and Adelheide in the back]

There’s a road where shadows whisper...
Where the lost and lonely gather...
Every scar a buried secret...
Every step... a choice to matter...

[BRIDGE] (Full Band But Adelheide Lead)
Oh, the world will test you...
(Echo:) test you...
Try to break your will...
(Echo) break...
Push you to the limits...
Stand you on that hill!

[[FINAL CHORUS - André]
WE CARRY ON! WE CARRY ON! WE CARRY ON! TOGETHER! WE ARE STRONG!
This is where we rise!
(André and Adelheide) THIS IS WHERE... WE BELOOOOONG! (Hold note)

[OUTRO – Adelheide and André] 
The road still winds... (Breathy)
But now we walk it...
Together...

Carry On

"Where My Roots Run Deep" - An Epic Journey (7:23 min)

From Beyond & Before Music, inspired by the novel "Hinter uns das Land" / "Behind Us The Land" by Frank Talmon l'Armée, comes "Where My Roots Run Deep" – an extended epic rock ballad that musically traverses a lifetime of experience.

This track blends the emotional depth of a rock ballad with elements of progressive rock, metal and mystic folk. The powerful, emotional lead vocals of André guide through the narrative verses, which speak of life's challenges and the search for truth. He is joined by the mystical, often whispered or ethereally sung voice of Adelheide, who imparts profound, almost philosophical insights in intros, interludes, and as a harmonic complement in the choruses.

Soaring choruses, backed by a full band and choir effects, declare the enduring power of one's origins: "THIS IS WHERE MY ROOTS RUN DEEP!" The musical journey includes a three-part instrumental solo. A primal bridge leads to a climactic triple finale and acoustic coda brings the epic to a close.

"Where My Roots Run Deep" is a meditation on identity, resilience, the search for belonging, and the unbreakable connection to one's history, even when facing loss and upheaval. It's a song about how our deepest roots, though unseen, give us the strength to endure and ultimately define who we are.

"The Anchor in the Gale" - An Epic 90s Metal Rock Ballad

From Beyond & Before Music, this is "The Anchor in the Gale" – an epic, nearly 8-minute 90s-style Metal Rock Ballad that takes the listener on a profound emotional journey.

While inspired by the overarching themes of the novel "Hinter uns das Land" / "Behind Us The Land", this song tells a universal story. It's about feeling lost in the storms of life, searching for a truth that won't fail, and grappling with the ghosts of the past. It's a journey from inner turmoil to the final realization that the true anchor lies within oneself.

Musically, the song builds from a haunting piano intro, led by the emotional baritone vocals of André, to powerful, full-band choruses with soaring guitars and choir effects. The narrative is deepened by the mystical, whispered voice of Adelheide, who acts as a guide. The track features an extended, melodic guitar solo and culminates in a massive, orchestral finale, reflecting the journey from despair to triumphant self-realization.

This is a song about resilience, inner strength, and the hope that can be found even after the greatest losses.

"The Anchor in the Gale" - Eine epische 90s Metal Rock Ballade

Von Beyond & Before Music kommt "The Anchor in the Gale" – eine epische, fast 8-minütige Metal-Rock-Ballade im Stil der 90er Jahre, die den Hörer auf eine tiefgründige emotionale Reise mitnimmt.

Obwohl von den übergeordneten Themen des Romans "Hinter uns das Land" inspiriert, erzählt dieser Song eine universelle Geschichte. Es geht darum, sich im Sturm des Lebens verloren zu fühlen, nach einer unumstößlichen Wahrheit zu suchen und mit den Geistern der Vergangenheit zu ringen. Es ist eine Reise vom inneren Aufruhr bis zur finalen Erkenntnis, dass der wahre Anker in einem selbst liegt.

Musikalisch baut sich der Song von einem ergreifenden Intro aus Klavier, geführt von der emotionalen Baritonstimme von André, zu kraftvollen Refrains mit voller Band, hymnischen Gitarren und Choreffekten auf. Die Erzählung wird durch die mystische, geflüsterte Stimme von Adelheide vertieft, die als eine Art Führerin fungiert. Das Stück beinhaltet ein ausgedehntes, melodisches Gitarrensolo und gipfelt in einem gewaltigen, orchestralen Finale, das die Reise von der Verzweiflung zur triumphalen Selbsterkenntnis widerspiegelt.

Dies ist ein Lied über Resilienz, innere Stärke und die Hoffnung, die auch nach den größten Verlusten gefunden werden kann.

"Some Roads Lead To Heaven - Some Just Disappear West"

From Beyond & Before Music featuring Adelheid's Wisdom, this is an epic rock ballad for everyone who carries the ghosts of their past. We believe this is a song that everyone can identify with, as it deals with the universal experiences that have shaped all of our lives.

Inspired by the narrative style of classic rock epics, this 6+ minute track tells three stories many of us know all too well: the childhood friend who vanished over time, the magical place of our youth that was erased, and the fateful encounter that changed a life forever. These are the moments of loss that make us who we are.

With this song, we believe we have crafted one of the most emotional and powerful rock ballads of the last 20 years. It’s a journey through nostalgia, heartbreak, and the incredible resilience it takes to carry on.

While inspired by the overarching themes of the novel "Hinter uns das Land" / "Behind Us The Land," this song speaks a universal language.

"Some Roads Lead To Heaven - Some Just Disappear West"

Von Beyond & Before Music featuring Adelheid's Wisdom kommt eine epische Rockballade für jeden, der die Geister seiner Vergangenheit mit sich trägt. Ein Song, mit dem sich vermutlich jeder identifizieren kann, denn er handelt von den universellen Erfahrungen, die unser Leben prägen.

Inspiriert vom erzählerischen Stil klassischer Rock-Epen, erzählt dieser über 6-minütige Track drei Geschichten, die viele von uns kennen: die Kindheitsfreundschaft, die in der Zeit verloren ging; der magische Ort der Jugend, der verschwunden ist; und die schicksalhafte Begegnung, die ein Leben für immer verändert hat. Es sind die Momente des Verlusts, die uns zu dem machen, was wir sind.

Wir haben uns zum Ziel gesetzt, eine der emotionalsten und kraftvollsten Rockballaden der letzten 20 Jahre zu schaffen. Ein musikalisches Epos über Erinnerung, Herzschmerz und die unglaubliche Resilienz, die es braucht, um weiterzumachen.

Obwohl von den übergeordneten Themen des Romans "Hinter uns das Land" inspiriert, spricht dieser Song eine universelle Sprache.

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

lyrics:

Intro:
Hush now, don’t you cry...
The monsters love...
When you try...

Verse 1:
I polish the silver to hide the cracks,
While the china dolls stare from the shelf.
Their porcelain smiles never warned me –
That sanity hangs...
By a thread...
Of its own.

Pre-Chorus:
The wallpaper peels...
In the shape of your laugh –
And the clocks all run...
Backwards.

Chorus:
THESE SCARS DON’T BLEED –
They breathe through the night!
Every "I’m fine" just feeds the lie –
While the cracks...
Multiply.

Verse 2:
The mailman brings bills, never ghosts –
But the hallway still echoes...
Your last...
Goodbye.

Bridge:
We’re all just ghosts...
Feeding ghosts...
In a house...
Built on silence...

Final Chorus:
THESE SCARS DON’T HEAL –
They sing in the dark!
Every "I’ve moved on" just draws the map...
Of where the knives...
Still are.

These Scars Don't Bleed

Dive into the haunting depths of "The Key to Nowhere" — a symphonic metal-rock ballad where raw guitar grit clashes with ghostly folk whispers.

What if the heaviest thing you carry fits no lock? A song about relics we cling to — letters, lies, lost homes — and the courage to let rust set us free.

What if the key you cherish opens only graves? A hymn to the boxes inside us – where faded keys, unspoken words, and loves that "wouldn’t matter" wait.

Tauche ein in die gespenstischen Tiefen von "The Key to Nowhere" – eine symphonische Metal-Rock-Ballade, in der roher Gitarren-Grit auf geisterhafte Folk-Flüstern trifft.

Was, wenn das Schwerste, das du trägst, in kein Schloss passt? Ein Song über Relikte, an die wir klammern – Briefe, Lügen, verlorene Heimat – und den Mut, Rost uns befreien zu lassen.

Was, wenn der Schlüssel, den du liebst, nur Gräber öffnet? Eine Hymne an die Kisten in uns – wo verblasste Schlüssel, ungesagte Worte und Lieben, die "nichts bedeuteten", warten.

lyrics:

This key to nowhere....
it opens every grave...

I sit in front of a box of keys,
Collected from me through all the years.
Some I don’t know how to use,
Some open doors...
But in the middle of the box,
There is a faded key...

This key was forged in a fire long cold,
Its teeth bite deep but fit no hole.
I wear its weight like a crown of rust –
A kingdom of dust...
A kingdom of dust...

The locksmith laughed when I begged for a map,
Said ‘Some doors, child, are meant to stay snapped.’
But I carved my own...
With a thief’s trembling hands...
Now the frame won’t hold...
And the hinges demand...

The messenger brings no answers now,
Just echoes of winds...
And the whispers of vows...
That once swore...
To never...
Let go...

THIS KEY TO NOWHERE –
IT OPENS EVERY GRAVE!
Every chain I kiss for luck...
Just drags the lock...
Through the muck...
Of the past I couldn’t shatter...
The love that wouldn’t...
Matter...

The halls are lined with the words I’ve left unsaid,
Each one a ghost that haunts my head.
I trace their shapes in the gathering dark,
But the light won’t spark...
The light won’t spark...

THIS KEY TO NOWHERE –
IT OPENS EVERY GRAVE!
Every chain I kiss for luck...
Just drags the lock...
Through the muck...
Of the past I couldn’t shatter...
The love that wouldn’t...
Matter...

I built a shrine where the key won’t turn,
Filled it with ghosts and watched them burn.
The ashes spelled...
‘You’re already free.’
But freedom’s just...
Another...
Prison...
For me...

I sit in front of a box of keys,
Collected from me through all the years.
Some I don’t know how to use,
Some open doors...
But in the middle of the box,
There is a faded key...

This Key To Nowhere

This is a quiet, intimate piano ballad about the unexpected paths that life takes. It's about the acceptance that the life we live is often not the one we once planned—and that there is a unique and profound beauty in that deviation. The song explores the bittersweet wisdom found in hindsight, carried by a voice that is both fragile and resilient.

Musically and emotionally, this song is a deep and respectful homage to Joni Mitchell's masterpiece, "Both Sides, Now." It does not attempt to copy it, but to honor its spirit: the ability to express complex life truths in simple, poetic language. The raw, vulnerable performance is also inspired by the heartbreaking interpretation by Emilia Jones in the film "Coda."

A song for anyone who has learned to find the beauty in the scars of their own journey.

---

Dies ist eine leise, intime Piano-Ballade über die unerwarteten Wege, die das Leben nimmt. Es geht um die Akzeptanz, dass das Leben, das wir führen, oft nicht das ist, das wir einst geplant haben – und dass es in dieser Abweichung eine eigene, tiefe Schönheit gibt. Der Song erkundet die bittersüße Weisheit, die man im Rückblick findet, getragen von einer zerbrechlichen, aber standhaften Stimme.

Musikalisch und emotional ist dieser Song eine tiefe Verneigung vor Joni Mitchells Meisterwerk "Both Sides, Now". Er versucht nicht, es zu kopieren, sondern seinen Geist zu ehren: die Fähigkeit, komplexe Lebenswahrheiten in einfacher, poetischer Sprache auszudrücken. Die rohe, verletzliche Darbietung ist zudem inspiriert von der herzzerreißenden Interpretation durch Emilia Jones im Film "Coda".

Ein Song für alle, die gelernt haben, die Schönheit in den Narben des eigenen Lebensweges zu finden.

Lyrics:

Maps can be drawn to show a distant shore... 
And open books all promise something more.  
Lines on a page for a life to be led...  
A different garden in a different bed.  
That's how the plans for futures often look... 
Before the first page... ...of the real book.

But looking at your life from both sides now,  
From what was lost and what the fates allow...
It's life's illusions I see you recall...  
You never really knew... 
...your life at all.

Words can be shields to teach and to write,  
To turn fading darkness to brilliant light...  
A legacy built on a victory loud,  
Your echo trapped in a cheering crowd. 
That's how the plans for greatness often feel...  
Before the wounds... that time won't let conceal.

But looking at your life from both sides now,  
From give and take, and still somehow...  
It's life's illusions you cling to, standing tall...  
Did you ever know... your life at all?

The child you were...
...would never understand 
This broken soil in a foreign land.  
She'd only see the things you had to lose... 
The simple choice... you didn't get to choose.

But she could never see his hand in yours...  
A different sun that opens different doors.  
No, this was not the life...
But it was yours...   
...and it was... 
grand.

A Different Garden In A Different Bed

Adelheide's Wisdom - The Project & The Song
About the Project

Adelheide's Wisdom is more than a band—it is a musical saga. It is the sound of a story, a journey from a lost world into the heart of resilience.

This project is the official musical companion to the German historical novel "Hinter uns das Land" (The Land Behind Us) by Frank Talmon l'Armée. Based on the true autobiographical account of Inge Talmon l'Armée (1927-2006), the story follows a family's journey through the loss of their East Prussian homeland during World War II, their traumatic flight, and the arduous process of rebuilding a new life from the ruins of the old. The music translates universal themes of trauma, memory, inner strength, and the search for a new identity into a powerful sonic experience.

Our sound is a fusion of Epic Progressive Rock and Symphonic Metal, infused with elements of melancholic Folk and classical forms like the Pavane and Bolero. The music mirrors the narrative's arc, shifting from delicate, atmospheric passages to powerful, heavy riffs—a constant dialogue between a fragile past and a complex present. The members of Adelheide's Wisdom are virtual artists, their names and personalities drawn from the key characters of the novel, each bringing their unique part of the story to the music.

Featured Epic: "When the River Sings"

At the heart of our concept album lies the monumental 28-minute epic, "When the River Sings." This track is a multi-act symphonic journey that encapsulates the entire narrative arc of the project, exploring trauma, confrontation, and ultimate catharsis.

The song uses the metaphor of a river to tell the story of a refugee's soul. It begins with the arrival of a fragile protagonist (Adelheide) who sees only her painful past in the water's reflection, asking, "Will it heal me… or just drag me deeper?" The river (voiced by André) responds as a majestic yet menacing force, leading to a powerful confrontation. After a chaotic inner struggle, she finds strength not by defeating her pain, but by embracing it ("THE PAIN YOU INFLICTED IS NOW MY THRONE!"). In the triumphant finale, the river becomes a cleansing stream, leading to the profound realization: "I AM BOTH THE WRECK AND THE SHORE!"

Musically, the song is a masterclass in fusion. It opens with an instrumental Pavane/Bolero carried by a classical wind ensemble, establishing the melancholic theme of a lost world. This fragile beginning explodes into a driving Progressive Rock section, led by a virtuosic and aggressive flute in homage to the pioneers of 70s prog. The song’s core is a long, complex instrumental piece that shifts between a brutal symphonic dialogue—where orchestra and rock band "answer" each other—and moments of profound silence featuring a sorrowful cello solo and whispered words. The journey culminates in a slow, majestic, and hymnic finale, where all the sonic worlds—orchestral, metal, and baroque—merge into a single, soaring statement of healing and redemption.
