Bm F#m
See the Reich in flames
A E
Try to save Berlin in vain
Bm F#m
It’s a road through death and pain
A D A E
On the other shore, there’s the end of the war
[Verse]
A E/G#
Who could ever have believed,
F#m E
Seems like nothing’s been achieved
D A/C# Bm D E
Just to walk a day, go all the way, the fronts are closing in
A E/G# F#m E
As the end is drawing near, the 12:th army interfere
D A/C# Bm D E
Open up a route, get people out, it’s forces spread out thin

It’s the end of the war

Reach for Elbe’s shore
[Chorus]
F#m
It’s the end, the war has been lost
A D A E
Keeping them safe ’til the river’s been crossed
F#m
Nicht ein Schlacht, ein Rettungsaktion
D A F#m E
Holding their ground ’til the final platoon
F#m
“Hurry up, we’re waiting for you”
A D A E
Men of the 9:th, and civilians too
F#m C# F#m
Dispossessed, surrendering to the west
[Verse]
A E/G#
Who’ll survive and who will die?
F#m E
Up to kriegsglück to decide
D A/C# Bm D E
Those who made it cross, without a loss, have reason to reflect
A E/G# F#m E
It is not about Berlin, it is not about the Reich,
D A/C# Bm D E
It’s about the men, who fought for them, what peace can they expect?
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm F#m
It’s the end of the war

Hold the corridor!
F#m E/G# A Bm C#
Reach for Elbe’s shore

Bm F#m
See the city burn on the other side
