Barbed Wire

When the barbed wire is rusted away
And the wooden huts have fallen to the earth
When the whistling wind no longer carries their cries
And the pitiful survivors as those also who tormented them

Have returned to the earth as the dust from whence they came 
Who will remember the vile injustices done to the Jews 
And those others whom didn't fit into Nazi ideology 
Go tell the world so that it will never happen again.
