First We Take Berlin

You trail the rats
To find the feast
And lash them back to sea
You fill the flesh pots
To feed the pig dogs
I want you home with me

The irons of demise
Forged in demon fire
Another war to end them all?
Do you not recoil, son?
Do you not shudder
When you hear them call?

"First we take Berlin!"
"First we take Berlin"
No, do not think it over

You say, "History does indeed need
A little push and shove"
Now and then
And surely they will be
Rewriting your world from above
With tyrant pen

And once you ride that tiger
You cannot dismount
And when you fall
Will they lay your head
Where blossoms abound?
Why did you not know?

First we take Berlin
First we take Berlin
First we take Berlin
Do not think it over
First we take Berlin

Will the eagle rest
In a circle of stars?
There is blood on the union steps you guard
Did you think it was over?
They will only ever follow orders?

First we take Berlin
First we take Berlin
First we take Berlin
First we take Berlin

No, do not think it over
(Unser Ziel wird nicht Russland sein)
(Unser Ziel ist Berlin!)
Did you think it's over?
First we take Berlin
No, do not think it over
(Unser Ziel ist Berlin)
