Try to save Berlin in vain
It's a road through death and pain
On the other shore, there's the end of the war
Seems like nothing's been achieved
Just to walk a day, go all the way
The fronts are closing in
The 12th Army interfere
Open up a route, get people out
It's forces spread out thin
Reach for Elbe's shore
Keeping them safe 'til the river's been crossed
Nicht ein Schlacht, ein Rettungsaktion
Holding their ground 'til the final platoon
"Hurry up, we're waiting for you"
Men of the 9th and civilians too
Dispossesed, surrendering to the West
Up to Kriegsglück to decide
Those who made it cross without a loss
Have reason to reflect
It's about the men, who fought for them
What peace can they expect
Reach for Elbe's shore
Keeping them safe 'til the river's been crossed
Nicht ein Schlacht, ein Rettungsaktion
Holding their ground 'til the final platoon
"Hurry up, we're waiting for you"
Men of the 9th and civilians too
Dispossesed, surrendering to the West
Going down in flames as two worlds collide
Who can now look back with a sense of pride?
On the other shore, there's the end of the war
See the city burn on the other side
Going down in flames as two worlds collide
Who can now look back with a sense of pride?
On the other shore, there's the end of the war
Keeping them safe 'til the river's been crossed
Nicht ein Schlacht, ein Rettungsaktion
Holding their ground 'til the final platoon
"Hurry up, we're waiting for you"
Men of the 9th and civilians too
Dispossesed, surrendering to the
Going down in flames as two worlds collide
Who can now look back with a sense of pride?
On the other shore, there's the end of the war
See the city burn on the other side
Going down in flames as two worlds collide
Who can now look back with a sense of pride?
On the other shore, there's the end of the war
Try to save Berlin in vain
It's a road to death and pain
On the other shore, there's the end of the war
