The bass guitar is frickin awesome on this song. The bass player has his sound perfect. The engineer/producer bla blah mixed the bass perfectly.

I know, it's only interpretation, but still... One day, years ago, while listening to this song, I translated the lyrics into my own language (Dutch, which is not German). At a certain point I thought: "It feels like this song is about Lady Diana!" Let's have a look at the first 2 verses: Who stole your heartbeat in the night? (The accident happened when it was dark outside) The acolytes fearful in the flickering light (Diana's helpers must've been frightened by the flash lights of the paparazzi) They hold a mirror to catch the breath from your mouth (Examining, if she was still alive) But your breath was stolen by the wind from the south (The accident happened in France, south of the U.K.) Another winter's tale is done (It happened in the Summer) Your immortal lover he's gone (Her lover Dodi Al-Fayed also died in the crash) The chalice stolen from her hand (People believe, she has been killed)) Eternal life at her command Now all that she rules must sleep... (I must admit, that I don't exactly understand, what the last 2 lines mean, if they are separate lines or are related, because of the word "now", which can be interpreted in two ways. The remarkable thing: the album "Accident Of Birth" had been released about 2 months earlier! It makes you think: could Bruce be a clairvoyant? 😉

Bruce is one of those guys that can do it all, sing, fly planes, etc. A very special individual.

...and he was ill. Kinda sore throat...He told it months later during an interview. What If he had been entirely healthy that night? Wow! He would've been killer. At Rock in Rio 2013 and 2019 he had been sick.

Lyrics - Who stole your heartbeat in the night? The acolytes fearful in the flickering light They hold a mirror to catch the breath from your mouth But your breath was stolen by the wind from the south Another winter's tale is done Your immortal lover - he's gone The chalice stolen from her hand Eternal life at her command Now all that she rules must sleep... The howling shriek of death in your eyes The hawklord and the beast enter your room The gold will turn to rust Your empire follows you into your tomb The wraiths of night caress And whisper softly now, "We are the dead" They bear your life away They tear your heart in two They've taken the queen To some better place, so they think As the flame burns low Now the flame burns higher And it purifies the love that died stone rolls closed on a life Back to the earth, sealing the tomb Our skeletons rise through the veil of blood Who summons us now from our graves? "We are the dead" The shriek of death in your eyes The hawklord and the beast enter your room The wraiths of night caress And whisper softly now, "We are the dead" They bear your life away They've torn your heart in two They've taken the queen
