Lyrics

Beppo :
Nineteen Sixty One,
a story is begun,
Overnight there’s a wall of fear
Separating brothers, isolating others, imprisoning those too near
Five years on
the nightmare hasn’t gone
And the streets are alive with guards Communism has a place
But now it’s gone too far

FD Reg :
The Hammer and the Sickle
Praise the flag
The emblem of the people,
Of the land
Which we are proud to serve,
The State is in your blood
And thus we all can share the glory
Of the flag for which we all must stand
For the good of each woman and each man

Chorus :
There was a time when we were free here
You could live, for your life
But then the wall appeared so quickly
Our freedom went overnight
In a land so blessed with beauty
All the dreams now black and white
The Iron fist is filled with power
And they dictate from hell’s gate
with no parole
And the Wall divides a million souls

FD Reg :
The Hammer and the Sickle
Praise the flag
The emblem of the people, of the land
Which we are proud to serve, the State is in your blood
And thus we all can share the glory
Of the flag for which we all must stand
For the good of the people
For the good of the country
For the good of each woman and each man

People: In a land so blessed with beauty
All the dreams are black and white
The Iron fist is filled with power
And they dictate from hell’s gate with no parole
And the Wall divides,
The Wall divides,
The Wall divides a million souls
