Country in depression
nation in despair
one man seeking
reasons everywhere
Growing hate and anger
the Führer's orders
were precise
who was to be blamed
and pay the price
Wicked propaganda
turning neighbors
into foes
soldiers of the
third reich
searching homes
And then their former
friends are watching
as they are round up
one by one
times of persecution's
just begun
Ever since it started
on Kristallnacht thirtyeight
when liberty died and
truth was denied
Sent away on trains
set on a one-way
trip to hell
enter the gates
Auschwitz awaits
When freedom burns
the final solution
dreams fade away
and all hope
turns to dust
When millions burn
the curtain has fallen
lost to the world
as they perish in flames
There was a country
in depression
there was a
nation in despair
one man finding
reasons everywhere
Then there was raising
hate and anger
the Führer's orders
still apply
who was to be blamed
and sent to die
Ever since it started
on Kristallnacht thirtyeight
when liberty died and
truth was denied
Sent away on trains
sent on a one-way
trip to hell
enter the gates
Auschwitz awaits
When freedom burns
the final solution
dreams fade away
and all hope
turns to dust
When millions burn
the curtain has fallen
lost to the world
as they perish in flames
When freedom burns
the final solution
dreams fade away
and all hope
turns to dust
When millions burn
the curtain has fallen
lost to the world
as they perish in flames
