Country in depression, nation in despair

One man seekin' reasons everywhere

Growing hate and anger, the Fuhrer's orders were precise

Who was to be blamed and pay the price?

Wicked propaganda turning neighbors into foes

Soldiers of the Third Reich searchin' homes

And then their former friends are watchin'

As they are round up one by one

Times of persecution's just begun

Ever since it started on Kristallnacht '38

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

There was a country in depression, there was a nation in despair

One man findin' reasons everywhere

Then there was rising hate and anger

The Fuhrer's orders still apply

Who was to be blamed and sent to die?

Ever since it started on Kristallnacht '38

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
