I have been to hell today
I saw the Devil's naked face
I felt the poison freeze my heart
In that evil, evil place
I heard the ghosts cry out in warning
Their voices ringing through the years
I stood beneath the barbed wire fence
And wept, and wept, bitter tears
Never, never again!
I stood alone that winter's day
On that barren killing ground
Inside my head the voices grew
Till my brain was bursting with thе sound
They cried, "Comrade, do not forgеt us!"
And I replied, "I never will!"
And as my soul in anguish wept
One by one, the voices stilled
Never, never again!
Europe, sixty years ago - remember?
Depression, millions on the dole - remember?
In those dark despairing times
Of unemployment and bread-lines
A cancer grew, fat and malign - remember?
I saw the Devil's naked face
I felt the poison freeze my heart
In that evil, evil place
I heard the ghosts cry out in warning
Their voices ringing through the years
I stood beneath the barbed wire fence
And wept, and wept, bitter tears
Never, never again!
I stood alone that winter's day
On that barren killing ground
Inside my head the voices grew
Till my brain was bursting with thе sound
They cried, "Comrade, do not forgеt us!"
And I replied, "I never will!"
And as my soul in anguish wept
One by one, the voices stilled
Never, never again!
Europe, sixty years ago - remember?
Depression, millions on the dole - remember?
In those dark despairing times
Of unemployment and bread-lines
A cancer grew, fat and malign - remember?
