On foreign shores by birth
You laid your son on German earth
Shot in the first World War
The Iron Cross, you still wanted more
A new war ,you joined the Freikorps
A new leader, storm the beer hall
At Landsberg accused of a crime
You took the memories of a man against the time.
Hess: Made to look like a suicide
M16 have a lot to hide
Keep them files locked up tight
About the reason for his flight
If you believe he took his life
Why not in 1945?
The Royal's shady men
Went to Spandau to kill again
The loneliest man in the world.
U.K. alliance can only be good
Germanic peoples bonded by blood
One night in may, you boarded a plane
Land in Scotland, it's all been in vain
Hamilton, no guts for the fight
Isolation, you were hidden from sight
Injected drugs, the questions never cease
No way to treat this man of peace.
Hess: Made to look like a suicide
M16 have a lot to hide
Keep them files locked up tight
About the reason for his flight
If you believe he took his life
Why not in 1945?
The Royal's shady men
Went to Spandau to kill again
The loneliest man in the world.
Nuremberg, you thought you would die
Life sentence, but never a war crime
Spandau prison alone in a cell
46 years a new kind of hell
Von Schirach and Speer go free
Scratch them both from history
Murdered in broad daylight at the guard was lured away
You became a martyr, one day they will pay.
Hess: Made to look like a suicide
M16 have a lot to hide
Keep them files locked up tight
About the reason for his flight
If you believe he took his life
Why not in 1945?
The Royal's shady men
Went to Spandau to kill again
The loneliest man in the world.
