Arbeit Macht Frei
We were afraid
Constantly
Afraid
They could
Kill us at any moment
For no reason suitable
For taking a life
Little food
Little water
Little salvation
Nothing but work
After all

It was all a lie

Silent Scream
Heart's silent scream
lovers torn
from savaged arms
Hunched over
bludgeoned into queue
they disappear from view
Auschwitz
Bergen-Belsen
Buchenwald
Dachau ...

Work Sees You Dead
A sign that casts the longest shadow
It reads works sets you free
Nether a politians prejudice
or a capitalists pay packet
these will not set you free
The cremation chimmney
will still burn bright
Whether a life cut short
by genocide or work
theres no escape
for you and me
the language of persecution
Knows no borders
colour nor religon
Arbeit macht frei
Arbeit sieht dich tot...
