HAMBURG '42 (engl.) Songtext / Lyric

BOMBERS ATTACK HAMBURG
THE SIRENS WAKE PEOPLE UP WITH A START
WOMEN, CHILDREN, MEN FEEL THEIR WAY THROUGH THE DARKNESS
REPEATED AGAIN NIGHT AFTER NIGHT

CHILDREN SUFFOCATE, SCREAMING AND CHOKING
IN THE ARMS OF MOTHERS WHO'RE BLEEDING TO DEATH

PARENTS TEAR THEIR CHILDREN OUT OF THE BED
CLOTHING THEIR CHILDREN IN RAGS
TREMBLING IN THEIR BASEMENTS
SEEKING SHELTER FROM THE HORROR OF THE NIGHT

SEARCHLIGHTS WITH THEIR WHITE FINGERS
SCOUR THE NIGHT FOR ENEMIES
THE ANGRY BARKING OF THE FLAK
BUT JUTS LIKE A BOOMERANG IT COMES BACK

A BOOM, A CRASH, THE DETONATIONS OF THE BOMBS
A FIERY GLOW, HORRIFIC INFERNO
PEOPLE BURIED UNDER RUINS
ARMS AND LEGS, SHATTERED CORPSES

HERE ENDS THE LIFE THAT ONCE BEGAN HAPPY
IN THE MIDST OF RUINED HOMES
VICTIMS OF WAR, OF THE MADMEN
WHO STARTED THIS MASSACRE
