Song | Sippenhaft |
Artist | Warbreed |
Album | History Undone |
I'm a soldier for the Reich | |
I'm the archetype of the Aryan übermensch | |
But I am not proud of what I've done | |
I've killed so many that I finally lost all count | |
I was so blind; I did not see my dream | |
Of unity differed completely from reality | |
But nothing is like it should be and I feel | |
I can't breathe, when I recall the madness and the carnage. | |
I never wanted to be the pawn in this game | |
Never wanted to see what I've seen | |
I naively hope that someday I'll be set free | |
Days are passing by and I'm still enslaved and forgotten. | |
...Enslaved and forgotten. | |
I fear not for my life but for that of my wife and son | |
A pledge of allegiance with a high price | |
These binds of flesh are a wicked machination | |
Punishment to the clan, our downfall is called sippenhaft | |
I'm a man in quest for his redemption | |
Whose dreams have turned him into a slave to the slaughterhouse | |
I wish I could go back in time and turn the story round | |
And then I would have held back my passion. | |
Call me a fool, but at that time the idea sounded right | |
I guess I am a fool | |
We were supposed to raise our country from its ashes | |
But this way everyday there are more and more ashes... | |
I never wanted to be the pawn in this game | |
Never wanted to see what I've seen | |
I have lost any hope that I'll be set free | |
Days are passing by, I'm still enslaved and forgotten | |
What am I supposed to do when all hope is lost? | |
Close my eyes and cry while I pull the trigger | |
This is no way of life, It's rather a taste of death | |
Farewell to you all, It's the only way out | |
What's there for me? | |
Silky clouds or ravenous fire? | |
Death, set me free | |
I'll kill no more; this last bullet is for me |
I' m a soldier for the Reich | |
I' m the archetype of the Aryan ü bermensch | |
But I am not proud of what I' ve done | |
I' ve killed so many that I finally lost all count | |
I was so blind I did not see my dream | |
Of unity differed completely from reality | |
But nothing is like it should be and I feel | |
I can' t breathe, when I recall the madness and the carnage. | |
I never wanted to be the pawn in this game | |
Never wanted to see what I' ve seen | |
I naively hope that someday I' ll be set free | |
Days are passing by and I' m still enslaved and forgotten. | |
... Enslaved and forgotten. | |
