Pasadena 1994 Songtext
von Nanowar of Steel feat. Joakim Brodén

Pasadena 1994
Last fight of the heroes sent to war
Pasadena 1994 for the glory

Eleven soldiers marching
Under the sun on fields of green
It′s their last battle, death or victory
Against the odds and all the bets
Bookmakers say there is no chance
Carioca's win outnumbers two to one

And Captain Baresi leads bravely the last line of defence (immortal)
While Roberto Baggio is ready to fire on Taffarel

Pasadena 1994
Last fight of the heroes sеnt to war
Pasadena 1994 for the glory
Pasadena 1994
First half is ovеr and no score
Pasadena 1994 for the FIFA World Cup


36 degrees of fire
70% of humidity
Castel Sant′Angelo sets a jumbo screen
Their nation stands behind them
Catenaccio dignified
To defend the honour of the FIGC

Romario and Bebeto are neutralized by the Italian offside trap (Maldini)
While general Sacchi displaces his troops for the final stand

Pasadena 1994
Last fight of the heroes sent to war
Pasadena 1994 for the glory
Pasadena 1994
Second half is over, still a draw
Pasadena 1994 for the FIFA World Cup

Baresi shot towards Japan like a North Korean warhead
Albertini lights up the crowd as napalm in Vietnam
Evani quickly outflanks the Maginot line of Taffarel
Massaro got pushed back like the Entente in Gallipoli
Baggio's charge collapses, it's the Italian Waterloo


Pasadena 1994
Last fight of the heroes sent to war
Pasadena 1994 for the glory
Pasadena 1994
The battle is lost and the hope is gone
Pasadena 1994 for the glory
Pasadena 1994
Their memory lives forevermore
Pasadena 1994 for the glory

For the second place
The divine ponytail waves on
