This song was playing in my head all the time when i was walking around in the camp ...
I'm waiting in my cold cell ...
when the bell begins to chime
reflecting on my past life ...
and it doesn't have much time
(each one of these blocks used to house around 1500-2000 people !)
Coz at 5 o clock
they take me to the gallows pole
The sands of time
for me are running low
(the minimum thing expected in a death camp ... a gallow.
of course after listening to the guides ... this was one of the better ways to die)
When the priest comes to read me my last rites
I take a look to through the bars at the last sights
Of a world that has gone very wrong for me
(most wires were electrified)
Can it be that there's some sort of error
It's hard to stop the surmounting terror
Is it really the end and not some crazy dream !
(the streets of terror)
Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming
It's not easy to stop from screaming
But the words escape me when I try to speak
Tears they flow but why am I crying
After all I'm not afraid of dying
Don't believe that there is ever an end
As the guards march me out to the courtyard
Someone cries from a cell God be with you
If there's a God then why does he let me die ???
(notice the windows on the left are covered
that's to prevent the inmates from seeing who's dying
and the one on the right uncovered
that's to let the ones who're next see what's gonna happen)
(this is where the poison was dropped in the testing phase
sometimes they dropped very little
so people kept dying for 2-3 days )
As i walk all my life drifts before me
And though the end is near I'm not sorry
Catch my sould coz it's willing to fly away
Mark my words believe my soul lives on
Please don't worry now that I have gone
I've gone beyond to see the truth
When you know that your time is close at hand
Maybe then u'll begin to understand
Life down there is just a strange illusion
(a group of jews
praying and mourning
in front of the main gas chamber)
Hallowed be thy name

it is quite apparent that all your old world cynicism is very much in place :)
