about

"No Man's Land" is a mid-tempo rock track that delves into both musical and philosophical realms. It explores the thought that in times of conflict, individuals bear a moral duty to adopt a stance. Remaining neutral merely benefits the aggressor, leaving one susceptible to attacks from all sides.

lyrics

No Man's Land

I only mind my business, I hear you say
They leave me be if I stay out of the fray
What am I supposed to do, a single man alone?
It will blow by, soon will be gone

It’s time to take a stand
Before we wake up in no man’s land
Under fire from all sides
Hiding in castles made of sand
Right in no man’s land

With pride and a broad chest you declare
I´m a pacifist! The pacifist’s dilemma is
If he keeps out of it, he adds to the bully’s score
´cause it takes two for peace, but only one for war

It’s time to take a stand
Before we wake up in no man’s land
Under fire from all sides
Hiding in castles made of sand
Right in no man’s land

You have it comfy in your bubble
You don´t wanna stand on one side or the other
You choose your battles carefully, so you say
But It´s never the right place nor the right day

You cover your eyes, but they will see you
You cover your ears, but your heart talks too
You cover your mouth, and the silence pierces through
You have to do, what a single man can do
You have to do, what a single man can do
You have to do, what a single gal can do
You have to do, what a single gal can do

It’s time to take a stand
Before we wake up in no man’s land
Under fire from all sides
Hiding in castles made of sand
Right in no man’s land
It’s time to take a stand
Under fire from all sides
Taking a beating by every hand
Right in no man’s land
