Verse 1

Em
He sat in a room
     Am                     Em
in a square of the color of blood.

He'd rule the whole world
               Am          Em
if there was a way that he could.
                  D
He'd sit and he'd stare
       Am                    Em
at the minreds on top of the towers.
               D
For he was the beast
              Am                    Em
as he hatched his new plans to gain power.

Verse 2

Em
They took the old roads
     Am                 Em
that Napoleon had taken before.

They fought as the forces of light
            Am            Em
against the darkness in a holy war.
                  D
One day they were looking around
        Am                          Em
and the sun was shining on the cold flowers.
                       D
The next day they were freezing to death
       Am                    Em
in the snow and the ice cold showers.

Verse 3

Em
Then came the deadly roads
              Am             Em
back from the steps of their retreat.

The cold racked their bodies
                  Am      Em
but worse was the pain of defeat.
                    D
Many people who had hailed them once
    Am                Em
now turned and looked away.
                 D
These people now knew
         Am                Em
that the beast was on it's way.

Em
You finally came back
       Am                    Em
to the borders of your fatherland.

Now enemies came
Am                     Em
traitors everywhere at hand.
                    D
Many people who had fought and died
        Am               Em
knowing that they had to win.
                 D
But yet it still sickens my heart
           Am                      Em
to see the picture of the red flag in Berlin.

and defeated the beast's only rival.
