Album title and lyrics

Regarding the title track, vocalist Marcel "Schmier" Schirmer said: "I think we are all under attack, it all starts with our mobile phones and our computers, (...) We are a hi-tech society, Under Attack was (...) a perfect title for showing the state of the earth, we're definitely going to have a lot of problems in the future if we don't wake up soon and chase some stuff. We always change stuff when it's too late!"[2]

The lyrics on the song Second to None deal with cyber bullying and harassment, especially over the internet.[2]

Track listing

All songs written by Schmier and Sifringer, except track 11 (written by Conrad "Cronos" Lant, Jeffrey "Mantas" Dunn and Anthony "Abaddon" Bray) and track 12 (written by Schmier, Sifringer and Sandmann).
