E5 A5
country in depression
G5 A5
nation in despair
D5 G5 A5
one man seeking reasons everywhere
E5 A5
growing hate and anger
G5 A5
The Fuhrer's orders were precise
D5 G5 A5
Who was to be blamed and pay the price!
E5 A5
Wicked propaganda
G5 A5
Turning neighbors into foes
D5 G5 A5
soldiers of the Third Reich searching homes
E5 A5
and then the former friends are watching
G5 A5
as they are rounded up one by one
D5 G5 A5
times of persecutions has begun
E5 A5
Ever since it started on crystal night of 38
D5 G5
when liberty died and truth was denied
E5 A5
sent away on train on a one-way trip to hell
D5 E5
enter the gates - Auschwitz awaits!
Chorus
E5 A5
When freedom burns
G5 A5
The final solution
D5 C5 G5 A5
Dreams fade away and all hope turns to dust
E5 A5
when millions burn
G5 A5
the curtain has fallen
D5 C5 G5 A5
lost to the world as they perish in flames
E5 A5
There was a country in depression
G5 A5
There was a nation in despair
D5 G5 A5
one man finding reasons everywhere
E5 A5
then there was raising hate and anger
G5 A5
the fuhrer's orders still apply
D5 G5 A5
who was to be blamed and send to die!
E5 A5
Ever since it started on crystal night of 38
D5 G5
when liberty died and truth was denied
E5 A5
sent away on train on a one-way trip to hell
D5 E5
enter the gates - Auschwitz awaits!
