Album: White Rider
He sat in a room
in a square of the color of blood
He'd rule the whole world
if there was a way that he could
He'd sit and he'd stare
at the minreds on top of the towers
For he was a beast
as he hatched his new plans to gain power
(chorus)
And the snow fell
covering the dreams and ideals
And the snow fell
freezing the blood and the wheels
And the snow fell
they had to keep up for survival
And the snow fell
defeating the beast's only rival
They took the old roads
that Napoleon had taken before
They fought as a force as a light
against the darkness in a holy war
One day they were looking around
and the sun was shining on the cold flowers
The next day they were freezing to death
in the sleet and the ice cold showers
(chorus)
Then came the deadly roads
back from the stairs of their retreat
The cold racked their bodies
but worse was the pain of defeat
Many people who had hailed them once
now turned and looked away
These people now knew
that the beast was on it's way
(chorus)
You finally came back
to the borders of your fatherland
Now enemies came
traitors everywhere at hand
Many people who had fought and died
knowing that they had to win
It still sickens my heart
to see the picture of the red flag in Berlin
(chorus)
