Wer rettet uns den Frieden wenn nicht wir selbst?

Em


[Verse 1]
                           D          Em
How slowly it changed your mirth into moan
                                  D        Em
How slowly estranged you from the girth of home
                                D    Em
You were no friend to your king, you faithful few
                       D       Em
A few last wolves will have to do


[Chorus]
C                 G                           Am       Em
Oh, what care for all of our dreams, it's the sweetest memory
C                G                            Am       Em
To have seen you fall to your knees for your Secret Germany
C                 G                           Am       Em
Oh, what care for all of our dreams, it's the sweetest memory
C                G                            Am       Em
To have seen you fall to your knees for your Secret Germany


[Verse 2]
Em                       D        Em
How slowly you threw him off your throne
                          D        Em
How thoroughly sealed the books of Rome
                    D    Em
The trap was laid to recover what was lost
                      D       Em
Now holy thy name and holy thy thrust


[Chorus]
C                 G                           Am       Em
Oh, what care for all of our dreams, it's the sweetest memory
C                G                            Am       Em
To have seen you fall to your knees for your Secret Germany
C                 G                           Am       Em
Oh, what care for all of our dreams, it's the sweetest memory
C                G                            Am       Em
To have seen you fall to your knees for your Secret Germany
C                 G                           Am       Em
Oh, what care for all of our dreams, it's the sweetest memory
C                G                            Am       Em
To have seen you fall to your knees for your Secret Germany
C                 G                           Am       Em
Oh, what care for all of our dreams, it's the sweetest memory
C                G                            Am       Em
To have seen you fall to your knees for your Secret Germany
C                 G                           Am       Em
Oh, what care for all of our dreams, it's the sweetest memory
C                G                            Am       Em
To have seen you fall to your knees for your Secret Germany
C                 G                           Am       Em
Oh, what care for all of our dreams, it's the sweetest memory
C                G                            Am       Em
To have seen you fall to your knees for your Secret Germany
C                 G                           Am       Em
Oh, what care for all of our dreams, it's the sweetest memory
C                G                            Am       Em
To have seen you fall to your knees for your Secret Germany
