"Train For Auschwitz" lyrics
"Train For Auschwitz"
I see a long train comin'
Across the Polish plains
The passengers it carries
Ain't comin' back again
This train is bound for Auschwitz
Like many another one
The passengers condemned to die
But no crime have they done
They are jammed into the boxcars
So tight against the wall
And in those cars the dead men stand
There is no room to fall
Now the reason they are dying
I will explain to you
Adolf Hitler has decided
To exterminate the Jew
He ships them off to Auschwitz
The train unloads them there
And standin' by the railroad track
They take their last breath of fresh air
The S.S. troopers herd them
Right down a well-worn path
Into a hall where they are told
They are to take a bath
When they're undressed, they're led inside
A giant shower room
The door is sealed behind them
And it also seals their doom
Into the room there drops a bomb
Of Nazi poison gas
And not one soul is left alive
When fifteen minutes pass
Now the men who did these awful crimes
They wished they'd murdered more
The only thing they're sorry for
Is that they lost the war
And hundreds of these murderers
Still walk the earth today
Just hoping for a chance to kill
The ones that got away
