Stigmata

Hideous crimes, atrocities 
The slaughter of millions - beyond belief 
Those were dark times, so different from now 
The law of evil ruled our fatherland 


I was but a pawn in their game 
Why should I feel any guilt? 
Still when I close, close my eyes 
The words unfold, it all comes back 


I can't defy it, can't deny it 
I know it to be true 
In my sleep - they come to haunt me 
They know it to be true 
Tears of the dead 


We are all on the turning wheel of fate 
A young man, standing proud in uniform 
I never stopped to hesitate 
Until it was far to late 


My hands are soiled, covered in blood 
Stains that never wash away 
Their hollow eyes... 
Confronting me - Judging me 


Now an old man, at the end of my days 
Contemplating - My life of sin 
Living is never simple - the road is hard 
I had no say - just a puppet in a sick play
