Die Krupps Fatherland

I see houses burning
I'm ashamed
Before you close your eyes denyingly
You better ask yourself

Did I choose something I could regret
Did I do something
I should regret

Is this the place I used to call -
Fatherland
Is this the place I used to know -
As fatherland

The silence is illusion
Stay awake
I hear children crying in fear and pain
Do cowards ask themselves?
