(Music & Lyrics by Kötterl)
-January 1942-
Today I found my dearest friend ... dead
The face of an aged and tired man
While I covered his still warm stomach
With my frozen fingers
I finally and absolutely realised
That this raging war is nothing but insanity
I write these words with tears in my eyes
As for now I know
They could be the last I leave to this cursed world
We failed to see through the web of lies
We failed to understand that there is nothing glorious about war
And now we have to pay...
Verse 1:
Back then when things all fell into place
We got intoxicated by war's shady embrace
For the welfare of our reich
We took victory for granted
Just as we were told
Years went by and by now we are in doubt
In doubt of our charge across the lands
The dying we wittnessed can't be of avail
For anyone
Prechorus:
The clock of war will prove
That hope is but in vain
Obliterated youth
How shall we bear up all the pain
Chorus:
We've marched on as the ones who still believed
Before our minds perceived
The downfall's closing in on us and
One by one will the sun set down on us
Our memories to dust
Our Farewell though'll be sung forevermore
Verse 2:
This war is a shortcut to the absolute demise
It's all unfolding before our dying eyes
The death of millions of fathers
The death of millions of sons
No longer I care soon all will be gone
Yet forced to still march on
Chorus:
We've marched on as the ones who still believed
Before our minds perceived
The downfall's closing in on us and
One by one will the sun set down on us
Our memories to dust
Our Farewell though'll be sung forevermore
Leads: Kötterl & Schafberger
Chorus:
One by one will the sun set down on us
Our memories to dust
Our Farewell though'll be sung forevermore
One by one will the sun set down on us
Our memories to dust
Our Farewell though'll be sung forevermore
One by one will the sun set down on us
Our memories to dust
Our Farewell though'll be sung forevermore
One by one will the sun set down on us
Our memories to dust
Our Farewell though'll be sung forevermore
For our cause we sacrificed
For the cause we sacrificed
For a cause we sacrificed
For which cause we sacrificed
For nothing we did sacrifice ourselves
