lirik lagu never again – eric bogle
never again lyrics
i have been to h*ll today
i saw the devil’s naked face
i felt the poison freeze my heart
in that evil, evil place
i heard the ghosts cry out in warning
their voices ringing through the years
i stood beneath the barbed wire fence
and wept, and wept, bitter tears
never, never again!
i stood alone that winter’s day
on that barren k!lling ground
inside my head the voices grew
till my brain was bursting with thе sound
they cried, “comrade, do not forgеt us!”
and i replied, “i never will!”
and as my soul in anguish wept
one by one, the voices stilled
never, never again!
europe, sixty years ago * remember?
depression, millions on the dole * remember?
in those dark despairing times
of unemployment and bread*lines
a cancer grew, fat and malign * remember?
its banner was a crooked cross * remember?
its destiny a holocaust * remember?
its creed was racial purity
it fed on fear and bigotry
its touch was death and slavery * remember?
it’s happening again. it’s happening again
can’t you see it’s happening again?
treblinka, auschwitz and dachau * remember?
david’s star, a people’s shroud * remember?
no refuge and no hiding place
for non*members of the master race
whole nations enslaved and debased * remember?
blood and toil and sweat and tears * remember?
the nightmare lasted six long years * remember?
the world drowned in a bl**dy tide
of war and death and genocide
fifty*seven million died * remember?
i’ve lived in freedom all my life
never thinking much about the cost
of those who suffered and who died
so that freedom’s flame would not be lost
i saw the flame in sachsenhausen
in spite of all, it’s burning yet
to all the ghosts who guard the flame
i promise you, i won’t forget
never, never again!
never, never again!
