Farewell Germania (of Glory and Decay - Part III)

Warbreed


[Adolf Hitler:] 
The end has taken me by surprise 
I found myself lost among snakes in the grass 
And now that I sense my doom is near 
I can see that almost no one's left by my side 

My love for Thee is endless 
But your sons have been most ungrateful 
They turned their backs on their own leader 
Denying all that we believe in 

It all began with that hard-hearted Russian winter 
All those dear Germans laid to rest in that godless land 
They died alone in the cold, in the darkness 
It is now that I know there'll be no Valhalla for them 

Not every war on two fronts is bound to end in failure 
It's your lack of faith that brought the storm 
No matter what you say, you've betrayed your very own selves 
And once again as always... I'm alone. Alone! Oh no! 

My long-dreamed empire torn asunder 
El Alemein, Normandy and Stalingrad: three mortal wounds 
The reds are swiftly approaching Berlin 
May this bunker be my haven from those barbarian hordes 

You have spent many hours asking the heavens 
That they may send you a new messiah 
But then you have him in front of you 
And you betray him: such is your nature 

In the darkest hour of all my existence 
Only a few remained faithful to their guiding light 
Oh, my dear Eva, you really love me 
I'd be honoured if you married me and stayed by my side 

[Narrator]: 
On the thirtieth day of April, 1945 
After marrying his mistress Eva Braun 
And formally leaving the Nazi party 

He came to a hard decision 
Since the end was close at hand 
That day he would commit suicide 
He would never be caught alive 

For if they caught him alive and kicking 
They would expose him like a circus clown 
His carcass would become a war trophy 
Total desecration of his pride 

He helped his beloved Eva 
To take one pill or two 
He aimed the gun at his temple 
And pronounced his final words... 

[Adolf Hitler]: 
I'm alone. Alone! 
Farewell, Germania! 
Farewell, my love! 
Farewell, Germania! 
Farewell, my land… my love!
