Silent Warrior
Enigma · 15 Years After [2005]
White men came in the name of God
They took their land, they took their lives
A new age has just begun
They lost their gods, they lost their smile
They cried for help for the last time
Liberty was turning into chains
But all the white men said
That's the cross of changes
In the name of God, in the name of God
The fight for gold, these were the changes
Tell me is it right in the name of God
These kind of changes?
They tried to fight for liberty
Without a chance in hell, they gave up
White men won in the name of God
With the cross as alibi
There's no god who ever tried
To change the world in this way
For the ones who abuse his name
There'll be no chance to escape on judgement day
In the name of God, in the name of God
The fight for gold, these were the changes
Tell me is it right in the name of God
These kind of changes?
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
The white men said
That's the cross of changes
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
In the name of God
These kind of changes
Silent Warrior
Enigma's "Silent Warrior" stands as a defining track from the 1990s New Age and trance fusion movement, originally released on the album *15 Years After [2005]*. The song exemplifies the group's signature style, blending ethereal vocals with atmospheric electronic instrumentation to create a meditative soundscape. While the band is often associated with their earlier hits like "Sadeness," this recording reflects a more introspective approach, utilizing the distinctive vocal techniques of the lead singer to evoke a sense of quiet strength and spiritual contemplation. The track remains a staple in the genre, frequently cited as a prime example of the era's ability to merge organic textures with synthesized rhythms, influencing countless subsequent productions in ambient and downtempo music.
