about

Oranienburg, end of the line.

The concentration camp is now a memorial and a museum. I’m walking in the silent countryside, eventually crossing the gate where more than seventy-five years earlier the Nazi wrote ‘Arbeit Macht Frei’.

lyrics

You went to see your son
Could not stay too long
Did you think of his tiny hand
In no man’s land?
You were just a young lad
Didn’t mind to be a dad
Fascists then came
For the end game

I stand up to my fears
After so many years
Walking towards your jail
Chasing your trail
Then I saw the gate
No future, no fate
‘Work sets you free’
Next time you might be free

The barracks, the beds
Watchtowers, the meds
White walls with a stench
The bleach, the long bench
The wooden foot shape
You sitting on a crate
The pot, the silver spoon
Breath under the Moon

I stand up to my fears
After so many years
Walking around your jail
Chasing your trail
Not easy to stand my ground
Staring eyes with no sound
Walking around your jail
I stand and I vail
