Es war einst ein Knig, mit groer Macht
der hat ber Gott und den Teufel gelacht
auch hat er sein Volk geqult und beraubt
am Hof da hat er sich sicher geglaubt
doch dann kam der Pbel mit Sense und Axt
und hat seinem Herren den Garaus gemacht
aber der Knig, der grte Tyrann
der war die Ratte, die schwimmen kann
die Ratten verlassen das sinkende Schiff
und der, den die harte Strafe dann trifft
der war nicht schnell genug, um zu fliehn
man sieht die Ratten in Sicherheit ziehn
es war einst ein Prediger, in fernem Land
der brachte die Menschen um den Verstand
sie gaben ihm alles: ihr Gold und die Tiere
und kostbare Stoffe, damit er nicht friere
sie brachten die schnste Jungfrau zu ihm
und waren bereit, in die Fremde zu ziehn
doch schon als sie schliefen und trumten vom Glck
stahl er sich von dannen und kam nie zurck
die Ratten verlassen das sinkende Schiff
und der, den die harte Strafe dann trifft
der war nicht schnell genug, um zu fliehn
man sieht die Ratten in Sicherheit ziehn
es brechen die Planken, es neigt sich der Mast
es strzen die Menschen in tdlicher Hast
sich tief in die Fluten, doch allen voran
entkommt nur die Ratte, die schwimmen kann
die Ratten verlassen das sinkende Schiff
und der, den die harte Strafe dann trifft
der war nicht schnell genug, um zu fliehn
man sieht die Ratten in Sicherheit ziehn

Subway to Sally è un gruppo musicale tedesco formatosi a Potsdam all'inizio degli anni '90. Il loro sound si basa su una combinazione di rock, folk e influenze medievali, con elementi gotici e metal aggiunti nel corso degli anni. L'utilizzo costante di suoni orientali ed elementi della musica classica (come le intricate armonie vocali) insieme a strumenti meno comuni nel genere metal, come il flauto dolce, lo shawm, il violino, l'organetto e la cetra, hanno portato alla definizione del loro stile come "medieval metal". La band ha pubblicato 9 album in studio, due live e due DVD dal vivo. La loro popolarità è principalmente concentrata nei paesi di lingua tedesca, con un numero limitato di concerti all'estero.
