Grave Digger - "Barbarian" (lyric video)

Raging through fields
Covered with death
Killing families
A never ending tragedy
Hunting the victims
Till blood runs dry
Pursued all enemies
Eye to eye

Fire and blood
Torture and pain
Darkness and sorrow
Again and again

Cold blooded murderer
Killer of the Jacobites
Butcher of Culloden
Cumberland the barbarian

Winds of war
Tales from hell
Chaos reigns
Endless pain
A trail of devastation
He leaves behind
Merciless they call him
Wretched for his mind

Fire and blood
Torture and pain
Darkness and sorrow
Again and again

Cold blooded murderer
Killer of the Jacobites
Butcher of Culloden
Cumberland the barbarian

Cold blooded murderer
Killer of the Jacobites
Butcher of Culloden
Cumberland the barbarian
Cold blooded murderer
Killer of the Jacobites
Butcher of Culloden
Cumberland the barbarian

Το καλοκαίρι του 1996 κυκλοφορούσε το album "Tunes of War", το οποίο ουσιαστικά έβαλε τους Grave Digger στους heavy metal χάρτες (από άποψη αναγνωρισιμότητας εννοώ, γιατί καλλιτεχνικά είχε προηγηθεί το πολύ καλό "Heart of Darkness").

24 έτη αργότερα οι Γερμανοί metallers ξαναφορούν τα κιλτ και επιστρέφουν στην Σκωτσέζικη κουλτούρα - θεματολογία. Το νέο τους δισκογραφικό πόνημα τιτλοφορείται "Fields of Blood" και κυκλοφόρησε προ μηνός...

Δελτίο τύπου: «BARBARIAN... the new Grave Digger single "Barbarian" from the album Fields of Blood is Teutonic steel in its purest form. No prisoners are taken here ... you can feel how Cumberland pushes the "Highland Cleanings" and how whole villages are getting destroyed.

He violates the Highlander women and kills everything in his way. His indescribable Cruelty is unparalleled in the history of Scotland. "Barbarian" will become another band classic Chorus will be hammered in your head... "Cold blooded murderer, Killer of the Jacobites, Butcher of Culloden, Cumberland the BARBARIAN.»
