Iron Sky, Distant Stars and Galaxies

Iron sky up above, distant stars, galaxies,
I will not return home anytime soon from here.
Poisoned air, drones and shells, endless fire and fight,
Burning cities in smoke that is heavy and drear.

Marching forward with strength, with no fear in our eyes,
Shoot and run through the chaos, the battle is long.
For our Earth to the death, under alien skies,
We are standing together, united and strong!

From our Earth to the stars, to the dark cosmic space,
Where the alien drones and machines fill the view,
We have started this hard and dangerous race,
Like a game on a screen, but the terror is true.
This reality’s grim and the price is so high,
For the stake is our world, our planet doomed to die.

Железное небо, далёкие звёзды, галактики,
Домой я вернуться не скоро смогу отсюда.
Отравленный воздух, дроны, снаряды, нескончаемый бой,
Горящие города в дыму, тяжёлом и мрачном.

When I started to play, I just wanted it light,
Never knowing this war would be bloody and near.
And in this distant system of planets and pain,
Where fatigue and the wounds are awaiting us all,

We still hope for the best, we believe not in vain,
And we’ll fight to the end, standing proud and tall.
If we weaken or fail, then disaster will come,
And the enemy strikes where our families dwell.
Through the portals the way is so simple for them.
Hold the line to the death! Break the Horde and their hell!

Iron sky up above, distant stars, galaxies,
I will not return home anytime soon from here.
Let me dream of the Sun and the blue sky so bright,
And a house in the woods that I used to hold dear...
Where I'll go when it's done, when the path becomes clear.

But today I can only pray God for my life:
I'll come back! Yes, I can! And I promise to you!
I’ll come back, I survive through this fire and strife.
Iron sky lets me go when the horror is through,
I’ll come back to my home... but I don't know the day...
I’ll come back to my home, though I'm so far away!

For our world, for the planet we swear to defend.
Iron sky, I am back in the ranks of the bold.
Iron sky, distant stars till the universe end.
I will not return home anytime soon, I am told.

German, Russian, Ukrainian, Frenchmen in stride,
Arab, Iranian, Yankee and Hindu embrace.
On this planet together we fight side by side,
Dropping borders away, as a single grand race.
As a single grand race...
We stand! Мы выдержим!
