Discover the story of the song > Es reiten die Toten so schnell – Angizia

In these lyrics, the protagonist Kezman is gathering a group of eager horses to ride through the snowy fields of Russia. He is calling on the dead to rise from their graves and join his ritual. Kezman and his riders gather the things that the living no longer need and bring them to the land of the dead. They ride through villages and forests, collecting all the forgotten and discarded things of life. The dead ride quickly and fervently, following Kezman's commands.
