    The Dark Eye is a very successful German high fantasy tabletop role-playing game started in 1984. The Finsterwacht (darksome watch) defends a series of watchtowers against the orks along the darksome ridge. The Saltatio Mortis album is set in that Dark Eye world and is acompanied by a novel The Fires of the Darksome Watch and a new Dark Eye solo adventure The Final Victory of the Pen (=female swan) where you can choose to play as Alea the travelling Bard based on the singer of Saltatio Mortis.

    Lyrics of “Finsterwacht” = “Darkwatch”
    [intro]
    Darkness weighs heavily on the land
    The looming peaks of the mountains rise ominously into the sky
    After all these years it's back, that eerie whisper in the night
    What is hidden there in the dark forests?
    A storm is coming, it is getting cold on the Dark Ridge
    But there is hope
    For in the midst of all this gloom, the Guardians of the Watch stand high up on the towers
    Day after day, night after night
    Ready to defend our families and our country with their lives
    When they light their fires, the Goddess has mercy on us
    It is the fires of fear that burn there
    May the heroism of the Guard shine brighter than the light of the flames
    Because they are our last bastion from what lurks for us in the shadows
    And our hope there on the Finsterwacht
    [Verse 1: Alea]
    The flames burn high up
    The sky is black and distant
    A memorial in the darkness
    Every fire is a star
    Say goodbye friends
    Sing one last song
    Sign after sign together into the night
    On the Darkwatch
    [Verse 2: Hansi Kürsch]
    Silent heroes without rest
    The looks sharp as steel
    United, inspired by the courage to die
    Let's stand here one last time
    Be vigilant friends
    The shadows have awakened
    Sign after sign together into the night
    [Chorus: Alea & Hansi Kürsch]
    And the world is on fire
    I want to go through the fire with you
    Until our ashes unite for eternity
    And the world is on fire
    Then we'll see each other again
    Beyond here, beyond time
    [Instrumental Break]
    [Chorus: Alea & Hansi Kürsch]
    And the world is on fire
    I want to go through the fire with you
    Until our ashes unite
    For eternity
    And the world is on fire
    Then we'll see each other again
    Beyond here, beyond time
    For eternity
    [Bridge: Choir, Hansi Kürsch & Alea]
    Fires flare up
    We are the light in the night
    Rondra, hear our choir
    Come stand with us, for we are the guard
    Friends, be careful (fires blazing)
    On the Darkwatch
    Be the shield wall at the end of the world (We are the light in the night)
    Hold the tower (Rondra, hear our choir)
    Also in Orkensturm
    Stand together for we are the watch (Come stand with us for we are the watch)
    Friends, be careful (fires blazing)
    On the Darkwatch
    Be the shield wall at the end of the world (We are the light in the night)
    Hold the tower (Rondra, hear our choir)
    Also in Orkensturm
    Stand together for we are the watch (Come stand with us for we are the watch)
    [Chorus: Alea & Hansi Kürsch, only Hansi Kürsch]
    And the world is on fire
    I want to go through the fire with you
    Until our ashes unite
    Forever (Forever)
    And the world is on fire
    Then we'll see each other again
    Beyond here, beyond time
    For eternity

    It wasn't Wacken, it was a medieval market. From the making of video:
    "I have a little flashback: I feel like I used to, 15 years ago at a medieval market, in the morning when I woke up on the campsite and I didn't know how I got there."
    “Is that how you always woke up?”
    "Yes, yes, I had a surprising amount of clothes for it..."
    "Did you always have so many orcs lying on top of you?"
    "Partly, you could call them orcs."

    This Video is about the fight in Germany in the 80s/90s between the "Dungeons & Dragons" followers of Gary Gygax against the "Das schwarze Auge" Army standing with Ulrich Kiesow... :D (just a joke)
    But I remember that until the late 90s, even into 2000, many fantasy RPG Players in Germany where either D&D or DSA players, and seldom someone was able to admit liking both systems for different reasons.
    Saltatio Mortis Members have a history with RPG, as one of their members was (or is) in the editorial office, and even wrote chapters about Karlsruhe, for the german publisherand books of Shadowrun.
    EDIT: I never was at Wacken, just some smaller festivals in Germany, but: Your interpretation this song from an after festival infield aftermath was just so hilarioius great! And could really be so on point! :)

    The story you told during the video was funny in general, but I have to admit that I think it's a shame that this reaction really wasn't about the song at all. Sure, it's in German and you don't understand the lyrics, but still there were very few comments about the music in this video, from my perspective.
    I like watching your reactions, and I'm always happy when you get a reaction to a song I like.
    I also always like how you manage to talk about the story behind the song as well as the music itself with the Sabaton songs for example, but in my opinion the music was given relatively little attention in the reaction and you may have gotten a bit fokused on the Story about Wakken etc., which is ok, just not really my thing.

    Intro speech:
    Darkness burdens severely upon the land.
    The menacing hilltops rising ominous into the sky.
    After all this time,it´s back again...
    these scary whispers in the night.
    What it is hiding there,in these woods?
    A storm is coming,it`s getting cold at the FINSTERKAMM.
    But there`s hope.
    Within all this darkness,the guards stand high upon their towers.
    Day by day,night after night.
    Ready to protect our land and families with their lifes.
    But if they light their fires,our goddess may have mercy on us.
    Cause those fires burning ,are the fires of fear.
    May the valor of our guards burn brighter than any fire.
    They are our last bastion against what is lurking in the shadows,waiting for us.
    They are our only hope,there on their FINSTERWACHT (darknesswatch)
    --------------------------------------------
    the flames blaze up high
    to the sky ,black and far
    a memorial in the dark
    every fire is a star
    say farewell friends
    and let´s sing a final song
    shield by shield,together into the night
    on the FINSTERWACHT (darknesswatch)
    silent heroes without rest
    their glances sharp as steel
    united,inspired by the courage of death
    we will stand here one last time
    watch out friends
    the shadows woken up
    shield by shield
    united through the night
    Refrain:
    and as the worlds in flames
    I will go through the fire with you
    until our ashes will unite
    in eternity
    and as the worlds in flames
    we will meet again
    beyond here
    beyond time
    and as the worlds in flames
    I will go through the fire with you
    until our ashes will unite
    in eternity
    and as the worlds in flames
    we will meet again
    beyond here
    beyond time
    in eternity
    fires blazing upon high
    we are the light in the night
    RONDRA listen to our choir
    come stand by our side
    cause we are the guardians
    watch out friends
    (fires blazing upon high )
    on the FINSTERWACHT (darknesswatch)
    let`s be the shieldwall at the end of the world
    (we are the light in the night)
    guard the tower
    (RONDRA listen to our choir)
    even within a storm of orcs
    let´s stand side by side,cause we are the guardians
    (come stand by our side,cause we are the guardians)
    watch out friends
    (fires blazing upon high )
    on the FINSTERWACHT (darknesswatch)
    let`s be the shieldwall at the end of the world
    (we are the light in the night)
    guard the tower
    (RONDRA listen to our choir)
    even within a storm of orcs
    let´s stand side by side,cause we are the guardians
    (come stand by our side,cause we are the guardians)
    Refrain:
    and as the worlds in flames
    I will go through the fire with you
    until our ashes will unite
    in eternity
    (in eternity)
    and as the worlds in flames
    we will meet again
    beyond here

You are fucking awful and I have always loved your humour, my dude. Keep being fantastic!
    God damned Swedish Pagans always bringing their bows to Wacken when Sabaton is playing! Don't they know you can put an eye or carotid artery out with those things?! Next thing we know they'll be sacking Lindisfarne again and you know what they were told after last time, right?! Right!.
