Warbreed - Sippenhaft lyrics

rate me

[Jens Kiersted]<br />

I'm a soldier for the Reich<br />

I'm the archetype of the Aryan übermensch<br />

But I am not proud of what I've done<br />

I've killed so many that I finally lost all count<br />

<br />

I was so blind; I did not see my dream<br />

Of unity differed completely from reality<br />

But nothing is like it should be and I feel<br />

I can't breathe, when I recall the madness and the carnage.<br />

<br />

I never wanted to be the pawn in this game<br />

Never wanted to see what I've seen<br />

I naively hope that someday I'll be set free<br />

Days are passing by and I'm still enslaved and forgotten.<br />

<br />

... Enslaved and forgotten.<br />

<br />

I fear not for my life but for that of my wife and son<br />

A pledge of allegiance with a high price<br />

These binds of flesh are a wicked machination<br />

Punishment to the clan, our downfall is called sippenhaft<br />

<br />

I'm a man in quest for his redemption<br />

Whose dreams have turned him into a slave to the slaughterhouse<br />

I wish I could go back in time and turn the story round<br />

And then I would have held back my passion.<br />

<br />

Call me a fool, but at that time the idea sounded right<br />

I guess I am a fool<br />

We were supposed to raise our country from it's ashes<br />

But this way everyday there are more and more ashes... <br />

<br />

I never wanted to be the pawn in this game<br />

Never wanted to see what I've seen<br />

I have lost any hope that I'll be set free<br />

Days are passing by, I'm still enslaved and forgotten<br />

<br />

What am I supposed to do when all hope is lost?<br />

Close my eyes and cry while I pull the trigger<br />

This is no way of life, It's rather a taste of death<br />

Farewell to you all, It's the only way out<br />

<br />

What's there for me?<br />

Silky clouds or ravenous fire?<br />

Death, set me free<br />

I'll kill no more; this last bullet is for me
