He took the reins of power in 1933   The appointed deputy fuhrer of the N.S.D.A.P.   This is the story of Rudolph Hess, a brave and loyal man   Gave his life for his beliefs because he loved his land   On that night of May, 10th in 1941   He boarded an Me-110, for his mission had just begun   Destination-Scotland, the Duke of Hamilton he must seek   But what was to unfold from his emissary of peace?      Chorus:   Sieg Heil-Rudolf Hess, your legacy lives on   Your courage and your honour keeps us marching strong   Sieg Heil-Rudolf Hess, amongst the gods you lie   You live on in Valhalla, 'cause true heroes never die      Imprisoned, for his proposal of peace   An attempt at White unity so the brother's war would cease   Held as a private prisoner for the duration of the war   Until October 1945 when the trial hit the floor   Hess was found guilty of crimes against peace   Sentenced to a life in hell for fighting for his beliefs   Then for the next 40 years he'd rot in a Spandau cell   'Cause he tried to end the war, they sentenced him to hell      (Repeat Chorus)      solo      Change:   Now stripped of his identity and left to rot away   No longer known as Rudolf Hess,   Number 7 his new name   Until in 1987 on August 17th   When Hess began his journey in to eternal sleep   You're gone but not forgotten,   You live in our hearts and minds   What you have done to save your race   Sends chills down my spine   Every year on the 17th we fly our flags up high   And salute in remembrance   A true martyr of our time      (Repeat Chorus) x2
