lyrics

Speaking from an empty room
I walk out
Looking to an open field
I go south
Waking up to realize
That I've been found out
The fatherland is after me
It wants me wiped out

I'm hiding in the countryside
And living in fear
But despite it all I tell myself
That I will persevere
I don't even know
If they've been 'round here
I cannot do anything
Can't go anywhere
I'm with my wife and my children
Our supplies are scarce

They've chased us down
Like I knew that they would
I know that we did everything
That we could
Can't think about what'll happen next
I don't think that I should
With all my thoughts, I try my best
To keep them good

They've murdered my family
They've taken my pride
Destroyed my home
And starved my insides
I am not of German blood
I am impure
I am but a number now
My fate is ensured

Hope is fading
It's slim to nil
They've broken my spirit
They've broken my will
I've no conception
Of myself
I don't have the strength
To call for help
