Skrewdriver - The Snow Fell Lyrics

He sat in a room

in a square of the color of blood.

He'd rule the whole world

if there was a way that he could.

He'd sit and he'd stare

at the minreds on top of the towers.

For he was a beast

as he hatched his new plans to gain power.



(chorus)

And the snow fell

covering the dreams and ideals.

And the snow fell

freezing the blood and the wheels.

And the snow fell

they had to keep up for survival.

And the snow fell

defeating the beast's only rival.



They took the old roads

that Napoleon had taken before.

They fought as a force as a light

against the darkness in a holy war.

One day they were looking around

and the sun was shining on the cold flowers.

The next day they were freezing to death

in the sleet and the ice cold showers.



(chorus)



Then came the deadly roads

back from the stairs of their retreat.

The cold racked their bodies

but worse was the pain of defeat.

Many people who had hailed them once

now turned and looked away.

These people now knew

that the beast was on it's way.



(chorus)



You finally came back

to the borders of your fatherland.

Now enemies came

traitors everywhere at hand.

Many people who had fought and died

knowing that they had to win.

It still sickens my heart

to see the picture of the red flag in Berlin.



(chorus)
