Text

He stuck up for his country,

but he didn’t like the cost.

The European brother war,

and lives were being lost.

He saw the grieving mothers

whose sons could not be found.

He wanted peace to stop

the endless coffins on the ground.

He got up on one morning

and he went out to his plane.

He said good-bye to his wife,

but doubts were in his brain.

To sue for peace was his idea

in 1941,

but the bankers’ grip was oh so tight,

and the chance for peace was gone.

Kehrreim:

Free Rudolf Hess!

How long can they keep him there?

We can only guess.

I said free Rudolf Hess!

How long can they keep him there?

We can only guess.

He never realized that day

that chivalry had died.

Britain was in alien hands

but at least a man had tried.

Forty years is a long long time

in a prison cell to be.

And I feel ashamed at the sentence

passed on a man who wanted peace.

Kehrreim

And now the situation

has changed in many ways.

The Allies want to let him go,

they’ve decided he has paid.

The Red scum in the Kremlin

with their kosher values try.

To keep a proud man locked away

until the day he dies.

Kehrreim

He’s a prisoner of peace.

Kept there at the will

of the Marxists in the east.

He’s a prisoner of peace.

Kept there at the wishes

of the Marxists in the east.
