Awake from your sleep It's been a long slumber It's been over 50 years of the spell you've been under Awake o' Fatherland Destruction and prosperity-- you've seen it all Built the greatest empire, then seen it fall You stood alone against jealousy and hate The world couldn't stand to see you so great [repeat chorus] You were ravaged and torn, your will defiled Villanized by the world in a series of trials Now broken, they tried to drown you in guilt You picked up the pieces and now you've rebuilt [repeat chorus] Your citizens divided and families kept apart Divided by a wall built right through your heart Prisoners of twin evils, their fates were decided But then the wall fell and the people were reunited [repeat chorus] [repeat chorus] Awake from your sleep It's been a long slumber It's been over 50 years of the spell you've been under I look to the future, it's in your hands It's time to awake, my fatherland [repeat chorus] Awake, my fatherland
