A thousand heads cut clean across their necks

right down the hall from me

The reich's relentless blade, thirsty and shining red

still echoes of their screams

This is a tarnished heirloom, passed down through iron fists

A shameful house of doom

A legacy of collapse, built on a painful truth

A thousand years of failure, a thousand years they bled

To the bear, the blitzkrieg, and the holy father

They just bowed their heads

They meekly did their time

Counting the days while harnessed to their rusty shackles

Forever occupied, folded the crimson star

The rabbits turned to jackals

This is a tarnished heirloom, passed down through iron fists

A shameful house of doom

A legacy of collapse, built on a painful truth

A thousand years of failure, a thousand years they bled

To the bear, the blitzkrieg, and the holy father

They just bowed their heads

Soviet hangover, eastern bloc

And dirty money still flows through locks

A killing ground of rebels, black marketeer

Restrained but there's no resistence here

Southeast Asia in a Euro cellblock

Saigon's children conceal what they've got

The opium trail runs west through here

They're selling disease to erase all your fears

A thousand years of failure, a thousand years they bled

To the bear, the blitzkrieg, and the holy father

They just bowed their heads

I won't bow my head
