From the recording King of Kings
Upbeat Rock song about the tragedy of the Holocaust and the perils of the Jews in Warsaw, Poland.
Lyrics
Warsaw
Hungry people with death in their eyes
Hear the footsteps as the nazis arrive
They hide their young and fear for their life
Some trade their faith for suicide
Children stare out at the boots
Of Gestapo whom stomp out their roots
Forget your name and be silent she said
Or this ghetto will leave you for dead
The courtyards in Warsaw are littered with pain
As blood of the holocaust falls like rain
A madman's massacre reich is reign
As a million more Jews die in vein
An innocent young girl pleads for her life
With a German rifle between her eyes
She begs and she preys God don't let me die
The Soldier then shouts you better run and hide
The courtyards in Warsaw are littered with pain
As blood of the holocaust falls like rain
A madman's massacre reich is reign
As a million more Jews die in vein
Pestilent Jews bow their head and prey
That Allied troops are on their way
Side by side in the gas chamber they lay
It's too late for D day
