Schmertzgarten Lyrics


Smoke lifts up, slowly form the chimney pot

snow melts down before touching ground

The never return train comes aloud

like a metal dreadful syth

throwing up its daily river of ghosts

I knew evil in the words of a man

elation and hate in his servants' deeds

men deprived of any humanity

without any respect or compassion

driven by insanity

in their evil’s gardens we are

chopped roses

victims of ignorance

hanging in the dark

humiliated and tortured

just to honor science

Raped puppets dancing

to entertain the masters of war

submission and anarchy behind respect and discipline

marked bodies

faith and hope are burnt by fire

shouted prayers flying up through Black smoke

faith and hope are burnt by fire

1941: confined to ghettos

1943: hunted and killed

1944: dug up and cremated

1945: deported and exterminated
