Falco Rides Again lyrics

These are the given lyrics for this song, but to my ears, most of the first verse sounds to me to be in German.

This is the story of a lonely man
Who's seen the world
From Japan to Afghanistan
Hey! Ho!

Everybody thought that I was gone for good
But I'm back - understood
Hey! Ho!

I've been through the snow and the storm
Felt the cold
No one to keep me warm
Agony and pain

Falco rides again - Bang bang
I won't break
I won't bend
Falco rides again
It's me and my gang
I came back just like a boomerang
I'll fight 'till the end
Falco rides again
I've been up, I've been down
I've been pushed around
Beated, mistreated,
Gagged and bound
Hey! Ho!

Not a soul in the world thought I would survive
Took every muscle in my body to stay alive
Hey! Ho!
I'll break down the walls
No more defeat
I want the taste of victory
Revenge is sweet

... rides again!
