In many a time, in many a land   With many a gun in many a hand   They came by the night, they came by the day   Came with their guns to take us away      With a knock on the door, knock on the door   Here they come to take one more, one more      Back in the days of the Roman Empire   They died by the cross and they died by the fire   In the stone coliseum, the crowd gave a roar   And it all began with that knock on the door      Just a knock on the door, knock on the door.   Here they come to take one more, one more      The years have all passed, we've reached modern times   The Nazis have come with their Nazi war crimes   Yes, the power was there, the power was found   Six million people have heard that same sound      That old knock on the door, knock on the door   Here they come to take one more, one more      Now there's many new words and many new names   The banners have changed but the knock is the same   On the Soviet shores with right on their side   I wonder who knows how many have died      With their knock on the door, knock on the door   Here they come to take one more, one more      Look over the oceans, look over the lands   Look over the leaders with the blood on their hands   And open your eyes and see what they do   When they knock over their friend, they're knocking for you      With their knock on the door, knock on the door   Here they come to take one more   With their knock on the door, knock on the door   Here they come to take one more, one more
