Tragedy

Commander of the reich, they followed him like sheep
Awaiting the fight of the jewish defeat
Death of thousands at one man’s word
They do his bidding, although absurd

Death, power, slaves, torture
Death, power, slaves, torture

People shipped in on trains of death
Packed like sardines, they take their last breath
No one is spared, they all bear the mark
The star of david, a stake through the heart

Death, power, slaves, torture
Death, power, slaves, torture

Tragedy, who needs a world of hate?
Tragedy, where people hurt and take?
So oblivious to the pain and strife
Where one man can take another man’s life

Smoke filled the air at the auschwitz camp
From the bodies burned, the air cold and damp
Carcasses dumped in a twenty foot pit
A lifeless place where no one lives

Death, power, slaves, torture
Death, power, slaves, torture

Tragedy, who needs a world of hate?
Tragedy, where people hurt and take?
So oblivious to the pain and strife
Where one man can take another man’s life
