See the reich in flames
                        E
Try to save berlin in vain

It's a road through death and pain

Seems like nothing's been achieved

The fronts are closing in
A                      E
As the end is drawing near
F#m                  E
The 12th Army interfere
D                            A
Open up a route, get people out
D                        E
It's forces spread out thin

Reach for elbe's shore!

F#m                               A
It's the end, the war has been lost
                                   E
Keeping them safe 'til the river's been crossed
F#m                                  A
Nicht ein schlacht, ein rettungsaktion

Holding their ground 'til the final platoon
 F#m                           A
„Hurry up, we're waiting for you"
                E
Men of the 9th and civilians too!

Up to kriegslück to decide

Those who made it cross without a loss
D                            E
Have reason to reflect
A                 E   F#m                       E
It is not about berlin, it is not about the reich
D                          A
It's about the men, who fought for them,
D                                       E
What peace can they expect?
