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
