They crossed over the border the hour before dawnMoving in lines through the day, most of our planesWere destroyed on the ground where they lay waitingFor orders we held in the wood, word from the front never cameBy evening the sound of the gunfire was miles awayAh, softly we move through the shadows, slip awayThrough the trees crossing their lines in the mists inThe fields on our hands and our knees and all that I ever was able to seeThe fire in the air glowing red silhouetting the smoke on the breezeAll summer they drove us back through the UkraineSmolensk and Viyasma soon fell, by autumn we stoodWith our backs to the town of OrelCloser and closer to Moscow they come, riding the wind like a bellGeneral Guderian stands at the crest of the hill, winter broughtWith her the rains, oceans of mud filled the roads gluingThe tracks of their tanks to the ground while the sky filled with snowAnd all that I ever was able to see the fire in the airGlowing red silhouetting the snow on the breezeIn the footsteps of Napoleon the shadow figuresStagger through the winter falling back before the gates of MoscowStanding in the wings like an avengerAnd far away behind their lines the partisans are stirring in the forestComing unexpectedly upon their outposts, growing like a promiseYou'll never know, you'll never knowWhich way to turn, which way to look, you'll never see usAs we're stealing through the blackness of the nightYou'll never know, you'll never hear usAnd the evening sings in a voice of amber, the dawn is surely comingThe morning road leads to Stalingrad, and the sky is softly hummingTwo broken Tigers on fire in the night flickerTheir souls to the wind, we wait in the lines for the finalApproach to begin, it's been almost four years thatI've carried a gun at home it'll almost be springThe flames of the Tigers are lighting the road to BerlinAh, quickly we move through the ruins that bow to the groundThe old men and children they send out to face usThey can't slow us down and all that I ever was able to seeThe eyes of the city are opening now it's the end of the dreamI'm coming home, I'm coming home now you can tasteIt in the wind, the war is over and I listen to the clickingOf the train wheels as we roll across the borderAnd now they ask me of the time that I was caughtBehind their lines and taken prisonerThey only held me for a day, a lucky break, I sayThey turn and listen closer, I'll never know, I'll never knowWhy I was taken from the line and all the others?To board a special train and journey deep into theHeart of holy Russia and it's cold and damp in the transit campAnd the air is still and sullen and the pale sun of OctoberWhispers the snow will soon be comingAnd I wonder when I'll be home againAnd the morning answers never and the evening sighsAnd the steely Russian skies go on forever
