On a warm and sunny day in Wunsiedel I've come to give my respects to you Sleep forever in peace my friend You're an inspiration in everything I do You were an honest man that wanted peace To stop a brothers war For your mission of peace they locked you up And never opened the door
Chorus: Until I'm old and gray I will fight to clear your name Justice for Rudolf Hess We will never forget Your 46 years in hell 46 years in hell 46 years in hell May your spirit rest in peace
You took the truth to the grave They called it suicide We all know you won the fight They couldn't rest until you died Just like you we won't give an inch The struggle for the truth continues today We'll show the world the hero you were No matter what the history books say
I see you're loved, honored and cherished By the flowers and candles on your grave From all over the world, none have forgotten The price for freedom you paid You swore the oath, duty until death For 46 years they couldn't steal the pride It's 12 years later and none have forgotten That your ideals and spirits' alive
