Gazing through the window at the trench in backyard
Young lives end in jaws of immaculate war
The tears of widows can't wash the blood away
In pavement stones it's forever stained

Chorus:
Of blood and iron, forge the liberty
With blood and iron, claim independency<

Darkness behind my window
Like the mourning veil of the night
Black skies are sharing my sorrow
And crying tonight by my side
I turn all the lights off
And burn a candle for you
Your picture in black frames on my table
Its look's tearing my heart in two

Chorus:<
