Hearts Of Iron
See the Reich in flamesTry to save Berlin in vainIt's a road through death and painOn the other shore, there's the end of the war
Who could ever have believed,Seems like nothing's been achievedJust to walk a day, go all the wayThe fronts are closing inAs the end is drawing near,The 12th Army interfereOpen up a route, get people out,It's forces spread out thin
It's the end of the war(Hold the corridor!)Reach for Elbe's shore!
It's the end, the war has been lostKeeping them safe 'til the river's been crossedNicht ein Schlacht, ein RettungsaktionHolding their ground 'til the final platoon„Hurry up, we're waiting for you“Men of the 9th and civilians too!Dispossesed, surrendering to the West
Who'll survive and who will die?Up to Kriegslück to decideThose who made it cross without a lossHave reason to reflectIt is not about Berlin, it is not about the ReichIt's about the men, who fought for them,What peace can they expect?
See the city burn on the other sideGoing down in flames as two worlds collideWho can now look back with a sense of pride?On the other shore, there's the end of the war...
