Warbreed - The Spandau Enigma lyrics

rate me

[Prisoner No. 7]<br />

I died yesterday<br />

Strangled by two men<br />

They said I took my life<br />

But they'd taken mine twice<br />

<br />

They say they know me well<br />

But I know I am innocent<br />

My name is Alfred Horn<br />

Dead since May, 1941<br />

<br />

Then at last I closed my eyes<br />

Forgotten? Forgiven?<br />

<br />

Before my light goes off<br />

I want you all to know<br />

Before my soul ascends<br />

I wish to be absolved<br />

<br />

I was a simple man<br />

A scapegoat for the great plan<br />

The big owl's left it's cage<br />

And flew into oblivion... <br />

<br />

[Chorus:]<br />

[The Scholar]<br />

Who died there... in that cold cell?<br />

Quid est Veritas? - His diary read.<br />

Truth or tale?<br />

<br />

[Prisoner No. 7]<br />

So many years have passed<br />

Since that dreadful night<br />

When I landed on the glens<br />

And kissed my freedom goodbye<br />

<br />

A thousand miles away<br />

Four walls to drive me insane<br />

The flames of desperation<br />

Burnt my hopes right to the ground<br />

<br />

Not alone<br />

No, no, not alone<br />

No, never, never alone<br />

Never, ever, utterly alone<br />

Voices in my head! <br />

My madness dies with me<br />

<br />

Then at last I've found my rest<br />

Forsaken? Forgiven?<br />

<br />

So this is how it ends, <br />

I take the blame to the grave<br />

The men in black are here<br />

My fate's becoming clear<br />

<br />

The enigma lies unsolved<br />

Six feet underground<br />

But I have told my tale<br />

And crave for absolution... <br />

<br />

[Repeat chorus].<br />

<br />

We may never ever know, <br />

The Spandau Enigma, one and all, <br />

The mystery lingers on, <br />

The Spandau Enigma lies unsolved!
