I'm a soldier for the Reich I'm the archetype of the Aryan übermensch But I am not proud of what I've done I've killed so many that I finally lost all count I was so blind; I did not see my dream Of unity differed completely from reality But nothing is like it should be and I feel I can't breathe, when I recall the madness and the carnage. I never wanted to be the pawn in this game Never wanted to see what I've seen I naively hope that someday I'll be set free Days are passing by and I'm still enslaved and forgotten. ...Enslaved and forgotten. I fear not for my life but for that of my wife and son A pledge of allegiance with a high price These binds of flesh are a wicked machination Punishment to the clan, our downfall is called sippenhaft I'm a man in quest for his redemption Whose dreams have turned him into a slave to the slaughterhouse I wish I could go back in time and turn the story round And then I would have held back my passion. Call me a fool, but at that time the idea sounded right I guess I am a fool We were supposed to raise our country from its ashes But this way everyday there are more and more ashes... I never wanted to be the pawn in this game Never wanted to see what I've seen I have lost any hope that I'll be set free Days are passing by, I'm still enslaved and forgotten What am I supposed to do when all hope is lost? Close my eyes and cry while I pull the trigger This is no way of life, It's rather a taste of death Farewell to you all, It's the only way out What's there for me? Silky clouds or ravenous fire? Death, set me free I'll kill no more; this last bullet is for me
