Ghosts Of Dachau Lyrics
I close my eyes - I reach out my hand
And there you are - beautiful in scabs
Caressing my scalp - under the mounts of the gun towers
I shout your name - I kick out in dreams
And here we are - the searchlight beams
The siren squeals - and hopeless shuffle to certainty
The crab lice bite - the typhoid smells
And I still here - handsome in rags
A trouserless man - waiting helpless for dignity
Come to me angel, don't go to the showers
Beg, steal or borrow - now there's nothing left to take
Except eternity
And who will come - to flower our graves?
With us still here - covered with dust
Remembered by few but forgotten by the majority
Stay with me angel - don't get lost in history
Don't let all we suffered lose it's meaning in the dark
That we call memory
And there you are - beautiful in scabs
Caressing my scalp - under the mounts of the gun towers
I shout your name - I kick out in dreams
And here we are - the searchlight beams
The siren squeals - and hopeless shuffle to certainty
And I still here - handsome in rags
A trouserless man - waiting helpless for dignity
Beg, steal or borrow - now there's nothing left to take
Except eternity
With us still here - covered with dust
Remembered by few but forgotten by the majority
Don't let all we suffered lose it's meaning in the dark
That we call memory

Such a powerfull song. Man inhumanity to man during the second world war. Concentration camps. But the twist with this song is in amongst all the pain and suffering there is a love story between two hopeless people. Very, very sad song!
