I have been to hell today

I saw the Devil's naked face

I felt the poison freeze my heart

In that evil, evil place

I heard the ghosts cry out in warning

Their voices ringing through the years

I stood beneath the barbed wire fence

And wept, and wept, bitter tears

Never, never again!

I stood alone that winter's day

On that barren killing ground

Inside my head the voices grew

Till my brain was bursting with thе sound

They cried, "Comrade, do not forgеt us!"

And I replied, "I never will!"

And as my soul in anguish wept

One by one, the voices stilled

Never, never again!

Europe, sixty years ago - remember?

Depression, millions on the dole - remember?

In those dark despairing times

Of unemployment and bread-lines

A cancer grew, fat and malign - remember?

Its banner was a crooked cross - remember?

Its destiny a holocaust - remember?

Its creed was racial purity

It fed on fear and bigotry

Its touch was death and slavery - remember?

It's happening again. It's happening again

Can't you see it's happening again?

Treblinka, Auschwitz and Dachau - remember?

David's Star, a people's shroud - remember?

No refuge and no hiding place

For non-members of the Master Race

Whole nations enslaved and debased - remember?

Blood and toil and sweat and tears - remember?

The nightmare lasted six long years - remember?

The world drowned in a bloody tide

Of war and death and genocide

Fifty-seven million died - remember?

I've lived in freedom all my life

Never thinking much about the cost

Of those who suffered and who died

So that freedom's flame would not be lost

I saw the flame in Sachsenhausen

In spite of all, it's burning yet

To all the ghosts who guard the flame

I promise you, I won't forget

Never, never again!

Never, never again!
