Inmate 4859
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The dawn of century, a boy born by a lake
Resettled from Karelia’s plains
Grown to a man in exile as the Great War came
Unleashed it’s shadow on his world
Witold
Witold
Who knows his name?
Inmate in hell or a hero in prison?
Soldier in Auschwitz, who knows his name?
Locked in a cell, waging war from the prison
Hiding in Auschwitz, who hides behind 4859?
Outside help never came, decided to break free
The end of April -43
Join the uprising, fight on the streets while hiding his rank
Takes command all while serving his country in need
Witold
Witold
Who knows his name?
Inmate in hell or a hero in prison?
Soldier in Auschwitz, who knows his name?
Locked in a cell, waging war from the prison
Hiding in Auschwitz, who hides behind 4859?
Sent to a prison, where the heroes are judged as traitors
Accused of treason by his own
Sentenced by countrymen under pressure of foreign influence
Men he once fought to free
Witold
Witold
We know his name!
Inmate in hell or a hero in prison? (White eagle, blood of heroes)
Soldier in Auschwitz, we know his name! (In Heaven)
Locked in a cell, waging war from the prison (Forever, rest in Heaven)
Hiding in Auschwitz, he hides behind 4859! (True Hero)
