[Music by Wagner/Schroeder/Gruning, lyrics by Wagner]
|
|
No one could have known that you would end in this way
|
You gotta face it, it's the end
|
This world knows no right, they wouldn't see what is truth
|
They won't believe you're not to blame
|
No one can say - what's coming your way
|
And there ain't no way out
|
They're all looking down
|
No one makes no sound
|
Why must it end all in this way, why, why, why?
|
|
The torture's been surmounted now
|
you told them all they wanted
|
The pain you've overcome somehow
|
but what'll come from now on?
|
|
Dyin' and rotting will be your destiny
|
Sooner than nature planned
|
Where are those who loved you they all turned away
|
|
And no one will shed a tear
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Raise up your eyes
|
The scaffold awaits
|
Truth tells no lies
|
The scaffold awaits
|
|
You're left alone in agony
|
The death blow awaits you
|
The public is your enemy
|
For crime someone must pay
|
|
Lying is right - it's an antinomy
|
But no one gives a shit
|
What is it, this mankind, a crowd of betrayers
|
Fearing for their own lives?
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Dyin' and rotting will be your destiny
|
sooner than nature planned
|
You thought that someone loved you, but they let an
|
innocent die
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Good or evil - it's in their minds
|
But they're so careless, though you've been kind
|
Take care of treason, kiss on your cheek
|
They got perception, but they're too weak
|
|
So many voices outside the room
|
They're waiting for you, await your doom
|
Lay down your head now - you're gonna die
|
The scaffold awaits for your parting cry
|
