Dachau
Only a stone's throw That close to knowing Over the stone wall That close to the town That place you can't go So hard to travel Picked up a small stone Could not put it down Take all of my money Take all of my clothing Take all of my labor I still do not know I still cannot feel it Or make it a real thing How one to another Could ever be so And I'm not a tailor And I'm not a gypsy Nor a professor With my name on my face A freedom fighter A left wing conspirer SongtexteWho traveled the boxcars To this lonely place I'm just a tourist I take a memento Or maybe a relic Though only a stone Like East Europeans Posing for photos In front of the ovens A video show I wanted to feel it That final solution I want it to touch me To take me inside I want it to hold me I want it to scold me Make me part of the blame Why so many died But only foundations Are left of the stone wall Almost at closing With time running out I walked in the cold rain Clutching a cold stone The gate was still open For us to walk out Aus Songtexte Mania
