Mission: Spandau

Mission: Spandau

Spandau's fortress sleeps in peace
But the fate played strange tricks with your life
We'll never forget this heroic death
Your name will be forever in our hearts
PRE-CHORUS
When your silver machine flew over the North Sea
Europe was so close to freedom and liberty
CHORUS
But the blindness of Churchill destroyed your dream
VERSE
Grim and deadly battles
Aryan nations in terrible World War
Brothers killed brothers with senseless hatred
Golden blood ran on the Father's soil
PRE-CHORUS
Your lonely flight was the act of bravery
So why its result was the slavery?
CHORUS
The Forces of evil dishonoured your idea
INTERMEZZO I
Your wife and son waited in pain
While you hoped that there
is a justice in this world
Plastic demon murdered the freedom of speech
Walls of Spandau took away your free life
CHORUS
hammer and sickle were destroying
My country more than forty years
VERSE
How many years old your suffer in the darkness
How many tears of wrath did fall on the ground
And when a time of the truth could come
Assassins did their vicious work
PRE-CHORUS
...The world is a very sad place, full of sorrows
which lurk in the background. Ready at any moment
to pounce upon us and culminate in the
"awe-inspiring solemnity of the hour of death"...
"Prisoner of Peace" p.149
INTERMEZZO II
..."In the evening when the sky is clear, jupiter shines
intomy cell with a brightness I have never before seen"...
"Prisoner of Peace" p.151
Our tears are as pure as crystal as ice
We remember the man who died for us
