The Snow Fell

[E]He sat in a room, in a [A]square the color of [E]blood
[E]He'd rule the whole world, [A]if there was a way that he [E]could
[E]He'd sit and he'd [D]stare at the [A]minarets on top of the [E]towers
[E]For he was the [D]beast, as he [A]hatched his new plans to gain [E]power

As the [G]snow [D]fell, [A]covering the dreams and [E]ideals
And the [G]snow [D]fell, [A]freezing the blood and the [E]wheels
And the[G] snow[D] fell, [A]they had to keep warm for [E]survival
And the[G] snow[D] fell, [A]and defeated the beast's o[E]nly rivals

They took the old roads, that Napoleon had taken before
They fought as the forces of light against a darkness in a holy war
One day they were looking out in the sunshine on the cornflowers
The next day they were freezing to death in the snow and the ice cold showers

Then came the deadly road back on the steppes of their retreat
The cold racked their bodies, but worse was the pain of defeat
And people who had hailed them once now turned and looked away
These people now knew that the beast was on his way

You finally came back to the borders of your Fatherland
Now enemies came, traitors everywhere at hand
Many people had fought and died, knowing that they had to win
And still it sickens my heart to see the picture of the Red flag in Berlin
