Oak leaf, out heart has turned to stone,
oak leaf, our bodies in the snow,
and she?s crying and she?s weeping
but you?re blinded by the lie,
you just cannot see the duty
oblivion and sacrifice.
I?m begging her to embrace me again,
keeping the winter away,
my blessing has the colour
in the autumn of decay,
my blessing has the colour
in the autumn of today,
my blessing has the colour of your eyes,
today...
Oak leaf, out hearts have turned to fire,
oak leaf, our bodies in the mire
and she?s wailing and she?s weeping
but you cannot see the truth,
you just cannot see the beauty,
the martyrdom of our youth
