  • He sat in a room
    In a square of the color of blood.
    He'd rule the whole world
    If there was a way that he could.
    He'd sit and he'd stare
    At the minreds on top of the towers.
    For he was a beast
    As he hatched his new plans to gain power.

    (chorus)
    And the snow fell
    Covering the dreams and ideals.
    And the snow fell
    Freezing the blood and the wheels.
    And the snow fell
    They had to keep up for survival.
    And the snow fell
    Defeating the beast's only rival.

    They took the old roads
    That Napoleon had taken before.
    They fought as a force as a light
    Against the darkness in a holy war.
    One day they were looking around
    And the sun was shining on the cold flowers.
    The next day they were freezing to death
    In the sleet and the ice cold showers.

    (chorus)

    Then came the deadly roads
    Back from the stairs of their retreat.
    The cold racked their bodies
    But worse was the pain of defeat.
    Many people who had hailed them once
    Now turned and looked away.
    These people now knew
    That the beast was on it's way.

    (chorus)

    You finally came back
    To the borders of your fatherland.
    Now enemies came
    Traitors everywhere at hand.
    Many people who had fought and died
    Knowing that they had to win.
    It still sickens my heart
    To see the picture of the red flag in Berlin.
