The Snow Fell

He sat in a room, in a square 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 minarets on top of the towers

For he was the 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 warm for survival

And the snow fell, and defeated the beast's only rivals

They took the old roads, that Napoleon had taken before

They fought as the forces of light against the darkness in a holy war

One day they were looking out in the sunshine on the cornflowers

The next day they were freezing to death in the snow and the ice cold showers

(chorus)

And then came the deadly road back on the steps of their retreat

The cold racked their bodies, but worse was the pain of defeat

And people who had hailed them once now turned and looked away

These people now knew that the beast was on his way

(chorus)

You finally came back to the borders of your Fatherland

Now enemies came, traitors everywhere at hand

Many people had fought and died, knowing that they had to win

And still it sickens my heart to see the picture of the Red flag in Berlin
