[Instrumental Intro]


[Sampled Intro]

"The court has come. The court of the Nations, and into the courtroom will come the martyrs of Majdanek and Oswiecim. From the ditch of Kerch, the dead will rise. They will rise from the graves, they will rise from the slaves, bringing with them the acrid smoke and the deathly odour of scorched and martyred Europe. And the children, they too will come stern and merciless. The butchers had no pity on them; now the victims will judge the butchers. Today, the tear of the child is the judge, the grief of the mother is the prosecutor."


[Instrumental Intro]


[Verse 1]

You were

What you were

Clean-cut

And unbecoming

Recreation

For the masses

You always mistook fists

For flowers


[Pre-Chorus]

Welcome, Welcome

Soldier smiling

Funeral march for

Agony's last edge


[Chorus]

Six million [Sample?]

Screaming souls [Sample?]

Maybe misery [Sample?]

Maybe nothing at all [Sample?]

Lives that wouldn't [Sample?]

Have changed a thing [Sample?]

Never counted [Sample?]

Never mattered [Sample?]

Never be


[Instrumental Interlude]


[Verse 2]

Arbeit macht frei

Transport of invalids

Hartheim Castle breathes us in

In block five, we worship malaria

Largerstrasse

Poplar trees

Beauty lost dignity young/gone

Rascher surveys butcher bacteria


[Pre-Chorus]

Welcome, Welcome

Soldier smiling

Soon infected

Nails broken

Hunger's a word


[Chorus]

Six million [Sample?]

Screaming souls [Sample?]

Maybe misery [Sample?]

Maybe nothing at all [Sample?]

Lives that wouldn't [Sample?]

Have changed a thing [Sample?]

Never counted [Sample?]

Never mattered [Sample?]

Never be


[Verse 3/ Outro]

Drink it away

Every tear is false

Churchill no different

Wish the workers bled to a machine


[Instrumental Outro / Guitar solo]
