46 Years in Hell Lyrics


On a warm and sunny day in Wunsiedel

I've come to pay my respects to you

Sleep forever in peace, my friend

You're an inspiration in everything I do

You were an honest man

that wanted peace

To stop a brother's war

For your mission of peace

they locked you up

And never opened the door

[Chorus]

Until I'm old and gray

I will fight to clear your name

Justice for Rudolph Hess

We will never forget

46 Years in Hell (x3)

May your spirit rest in peace

You took the truth to the grave

They called it "suicide"

We all know you won the fight

They couldn't rest until you died

Just like you we won't give an inch

The struggle for the truth

continues today

We'll show the world

the hero you were

No matter what the history books say

[Chorus]

I see you're loved,

honored, and cherished

By the flowers and candles on your grave

From all over the world

none have forgotten

The price for freedom you paid

You swore the oath, duty until death

For 46 years they couldn't steal the pride

It's 12 years later

and none have forgotten

That your ideals and spirit's alive
