"Yellow Triangle" lyrics

"Yellow Triangle"

Black triangle, the pink triangle
Green triangle, the red triangle
Lilac triangle, the green triangle
And they wore the yellow triangle

When first they came for the criminals I did not speak
Then they began to take the Jews
When they fetched the people who were members of trade unions
I did not speak

They took away the Bible students, they rounded up the homosexuals
Then they gathered up the immigrants and the gypsies
I did not speak, I did not speak
Eventually they came for me, there was no one left to speak

The black triangle, the pink triangle
The green triangle, the red triangle
Lilac triangle, the pink triangle
And they wore the yellow triangle

And they wore the yellow triangle
And they wore the pink triangle
And we wore the silent triangles
We did not speak
