(Text: Did you close the door softly? - Ruth Kormes / Black Letter Day - Stibbi)

lyrics

Did you close the door softly

And what was it
you packed into your small cases
as you were ordered to
as you left your home, your bed, your chairs and table
the unfinished embroidery, oh
Dear mother
never to be finished now by you?
Did you close the door softly
glancing
not believing
never again
to see all the photographs looking at you for the last time
hanging on walls of us when we were babies
and those on the sideboards standing side by side
of us your children as we grew up
all saying farewell?
Did you close the door softly
for the last time
as you left
fearful, tearful, frightened, lonely without us
gone long ago, not giving comfort to say
Dear mother
and dear father?
Were you able to give comfort
to each other

Black Letter Day

The ink wasn’t dry on the terror contract
planned order instantly starts to transact
forced to the hardest and ultimate way
for each of them starts with a black letter day
Black letter day … (4 x)
Degraded as humans, destined for the graves,
Last permitted hope was working as slaves
They outlined this as „Arbeit macht frei“
A fucking, a cynical, terrible lie!
Terrible lie … (4 x)
The victim survivors felt burdened with guilt
while traitors and torturers untouched rebuilt
but the new one was build on the lies of the past
that’s why this menace of the mankind still last.
A truncheon, a bullet, a shot in the head
a gallow, a gas or a virus instead
it doesn’t makes difference what caused them to death
it doesn’t makes difference what caused you to death
Dead is dead … (4 x)
