lirik lagu raoul wallenberg – andy irvine
the midnight fear, the knock upon the door
the brutal face behind the gun on the icy danube shore
the outcome is in no doubt ’till a car puls up
and a man steps out
raoul wallenberg
the death march passes in the freezing rain
frightened faces wait to board an eastbound cattle train
the fate of jews in ’44 one brave man could not ignore
raoul wallenberg
i still wait to thank you for my life
as i’ve waited these forty years in vain
to embrace you and to shake your hand
crusader in a foreign land
i just want to sing your name
i just want to sing your name
raoul wallenberg
i just want to sing your name
raoul wallenberg
the liberating tanks rolling in from east
wallenberg is dead was the news that they released
but the world paid no attention until it was too late
a world of cold indifference to the cruel fate
of raoul wallenberg
they said you are a spy and your story’s but a ruse
why should a swedish christian risk his life for the jews
and it’s solitary confinement another prisoner in despair
hard labour camps and mental wards
oh! the nightmare of raoul wallenberg
i just want to sing your name
raoul wallenberg
i just want to sing your name
raoul wallenberg
reports from wrangels island and the lyubianka gaol
speak of a swedish prisoner, old, gaunt and frail
and from the limits of the gulag on the chinese frontier
they keep him on the move but the tracks still reappear
of raoul wallenberg
with courage, bluff and sleight of hand you saved 10,000 jews
but when you needed help yourself there was no one there for you
only apathy and silence, hypocrisy and shame
and anger turns to outrage every time i sing your name
raoul wallenberg
i still wait to thank you for my life
as i’ve waited these forty years in vain
to embrace you and to shake your hand
crusader in a foreign land
i just want to sing your name
i just want to sing your name
raoul wallenberg
i just want to sing your name
raoul wallenberg
