The Secret Germany (For Paul Celan)

[Intro]
Verschließe nicht das Tor
Verschließe nicht Dein Herz
Lasst weder Angst noch Hass Europas Erbe bestimmen
Wer rettet uns den Frieden wenn nicht wir selbst?

[Verse 1]
How slowly it changed your mirth into moan
How slowly estranged you from the girth of home
You were no friend to your king, you faithful few
A few last wolves will have to do

[Chorus]
Oh, what care for all of our dreams, it's the sweetest memory
To have seen you fall to your knees for your Secret Germany
Oh, what care for all of our dreams, it's the sweetest memory
To have seen you fall to your knees for your Secret Germany

[Verse 2]
How slowly you threw him off your throne
How thoroughly sealed the books of Rome
The trap was laid to recover what was lost
Now holy thy name and holy thy thrust

[Chorus]
Oh, what care for all of our dreams, it's the sweetest memory
To have seen you fall to your knees for your Secret Germany
Oh, what care for all of our dreams, it's the sweetest memory
To have seen you fall to your knees for your Secret Germany
Oh, what care for all of our dreams, it's the sweetest memory
To have seen you fall to your knees for your Secret Germany
Oh, what care for all of our dreams, it's the sweetest memory
To have seen you fall to your knees for your Secret Germany
Oh, what care for all of our dreams, it's the sweetest memory
To have seen you fall to your knees for your Secret Germany
Oh, what care for all of our dreams, it's the sweetest memory
To have seen you fall to your knees for your Secret Germany
Oh, what care for all of our dreams, it's the sweetest memory
To have seen you fall to your knees for your Secret Germany

[Outro]
Wer rettet uns den Frieden wenn nicht wir selbst?
