The Sheep Chose a Wolf

[HANS SCHOLL]
What I saw at the rallies
What I felt in my heart
Was a truth that was hidden
Obscured from the start

Discipline, order
These appealed in my youth
But they took a dark turn
As I learned the truth

I marched with that damn Nazi flag in my hand
Those boys all saluted, obeyed my command
I let it consume me, it was all I could feel
Authority, power, the seduction is real

I watched the sheep choose a wolf as their shepherd
I watched the sheep choose a wolf as their shepherd
And now, now we just watch them fall

Hitler, he spoke to us
He spoke to our youth
He valued, empowered us
He told us "the truth"

How was I the only one who heard?
He did tell it straight, every single word
A vow that the world to us would soon cower
Restore our great nation to glory and power
Bring back our strength and our previous might
Prepare us to win any glorious fight

I watched the sheep choose a wolf as their shepherd
I watched the sheep choose a wolf as their shepherd

But it's so hard to resist, an offer to count
To matter at last as threats seem to mount
Sieg heil, mein Führer, you are revered
He told us he'd use us, and gladly we cheered
He'd treat us as equals, each boy was a man
He promised to use us as part of his plan
He was so proud, so proud, so proud of us, each and every one
We'll dishevel today and tomorrow we're gone

I watched the sheep choose a wolf as their shepherd
I watched the sheep choose a wolf as their shepherd
And now, now we just watch them fall
And now we watch him devour them all
