"Ein bericht hat uns aus Smolensk erreicht, wonach die bewohner,

deutsche behörden auf die existenz eines ortes hingewiesen haben

An dem, von der Bolschwiki massenhinrichtungen ausgeführt, und 10.000

polnische offiziere, von der sowjetischen geheimpolizei ermordet wurden"

"A report has reached us from Smolensk to the effect thta the local inhabitants

have mentioned to the german authorities the existence of a place where mass executions have been carried out by the Bolsheviks and where 10.000 polish officers have been murdered by the Soviet secret state police"

Exhume their bodies on the hill of goats, ghosts in Katyn keep secrets of death

The blood soaked roots of the trees reach through the remains of massacre

Thousands moved to this vast woodland, no knowledge of their soon violent end

An order sanctioned by the Politburg, all officers, academics, officials

Bulldozers have cleared the ground

NKVD release the round

A single shot, back of the head

Flows deep a river of Soviet red

Thousands will lie in this endless grave, belief beads clenched in rotten fists

As the lord's prayer is uttered in vain noone can hear the despair

Paranoia causes many deaths but this magnitude unheard

The operation running night and day methodical, maniacal, macabre

Bulldozers have cleared the ground

NKVD release the round

A single shot, back of the head

Flows deep a river of Soviet red

Slaughtered for Stalin's fear, slaughtered for nothing

Families ripped apart, primitive atrocity

Murdered for Stalin's fear, murdered for nothing

Brothers ripped apart, primitive barbarity

How disciplined, Soviet holocaust, cleansing Poland of all
