There's a tremor in the city, but it looks all quiet
There is something awful brewing but there ain't no fights
Beethoven
You can read between the lines that there must be more
You're alarmed but you don't know what you're waiting for

Beethoven
The boots are back in town
When ignorance and fear are closing mouths and ears
The skins are on their way when it gets dark in Europe
It's just a state of mind, the blind leading the blind

There's a scrawling on a tombstone: Judenschweine Raus
Once again the racial fury is burning down the house
Beethoven
There's a bleeding yellow man lying in the street
But there isn't anybody doing anything

And one grey day shall rise from the flood
No dikes will stem the heavy tides
When cold-pierced heavy bodies scream
They fall as if the monstrous scythe of clouds had smashed
Them from the skies
The scattered squadron of mankind
Stabs right into the churned-up ether
Of long forgotten birdless flights
Beethoven the boots are back in town

Beethoven the boots are back in town
The demons of the past will be replaced at last
There are smarter ones to stay, how can you stay away
From the order of disgrace, how can you close your eyes?

Beethoven
