How many stairs must I climb through the night
To get my head above the ground
I used to feel happy when driving the engine
And laugh with my mates every day
Coming to rescue without any question
And nothing could hold us away
When we stuck together
Nothing could hurt us
Our holy alliance
Would get us safe home
But oh, damn wrong!
We fought against powers too strong
Oh damn wrong!
Our destiny sealed by the dawn
On the horizon we saw the inferno
But vowed everyone should survive
Some forced their way up to the 76th floor
To get the last souls out alive
But oh, damn wrong
We fought against powers too strong
Oh damn wrong!
343 souls were gone
When everything went black
I managed somehow to escape
My thoughts they keep turning back
To all those who never got away
I light a candle every night to honour these brave men
But oh, damn wrong
They fought against powers too strong
Oh damn wrong!
In heaven is where they belong
Oh! Damn wrong
I fight against powers so strong
Yeah! Damn wrong
I've carried this cross for so long
How many stairs must I climb through the night
To get my head above the ground
