Hideous crimes, atrocities   The slaughter of millions - beyond belief   Those were dark times, so different from now   The law of evil ruled our fatherland      I was but a pawn in their game   Why should I feel any guilt?   Still when I close, close my eyes   The words unfold, it all comes back      I can't defy it, can't deny it   I know it ot be true   In my sleep - they come to haunt me   They know it to be true   Tears of the dead      We are all on the turning wheel of fate   A young man, standing proud in uniform   I never stopped to hesitate   Until it was far to late      My hands are soiled, covered in blood   Stains that never wash away   Their hollow eyes...   Confronting me - Judging me      Now an old man, at the end of my days   Contemplating - My life of sin   Living is never simple - the rosad is hard   I had no say - just a puppet in a sick play
