Tears of the Dead

Hideous crimes, atrocities

The slaughter of millions beyond belief

Those were dark times, so different from now

The law of evil ruled our fatherland

I was but a pawn in their game

Why should I feel any guilt?

Still when I close, close my eyes

The words unfold, it all comes back

I can't defy it, can't deny it

I know it to be true

In my sleep, they come to haunt me

They know it to be true

♪

Tears of the dead

We are all on the turning wheel of fate

A young man standing proud in uniform

I never stopped to hesitate

Until it was far too late

I was but a pawn in their game

Why should I feel any guilt?

Still, when I close, close my eyes

The words unfold, it all comes back

I can't defy it, can't deny it

I know it to be true

In my sleep, they come to haunt me

They know it to be true

♪

Tears of the dead

My hands are soiled, covered in blood

Stains that never wash away

Their hollow eyes confronting me

Judging me

♪

Now an old man, at the end of my days

Contemplating my life of sin

Living is never simple, the road is hard

I had no say, just a puppet in a sick play

I was but a pawn in their game

Why should I feel any guilt?

Still, when I close, close my eyes

The words unfold, it all comes back

I can't defy it, can't deny it

I know it to be true

In my sleep, they come to haunt me

They know it to be true
