Text:
1.
Fifteenthirtyfour, they covered you with straw,
it was the year when you were build on ancient soil.
A skeleton of wood, the craftsmen did so good,
to raise you up, have meant a lot of toil.
Sixteenthirtyfour, already sixteen years of war,
and war will carry on for even fourteen more.
//: So many soldiers came across, it was so far the biggest loss, humanity had ever seen ://
Refrain
Now you have to die, by the hands of your own children,
by the hands of those, who once have called you "home".
You falling to the ground, where you stood for such a long time,
almost half a thousand years, and that moves me to tears.
2.
Seventeenthirtyfour, music composed galore
by Johann Sebsatian and Georg Friedrich, we still adore
Eightteenthirtyfour, you´ve got a new upper floor
also your broken walls they will do restore.
You have been a shelter now, for ten generation on the plow,
and also shelter for a sheep and for a cow.
//: So many people crossed your doorstep, so many people touched your door grab, so many people in and out, you´ve made them proud ://
Refrain
3.
Nineteenthirtyfour, the murderers appear,
the farmer´s son will soon be killed by a sharp spear
fallen in a war, that burned the world to ash, it was for sure the devil´s eval clash.
//:So many soldiers came across, it was so far the biggest loss, humanity had ever seen ://
But you did survive, you were still alive, a home for an old farmer and his wife.
But in in Twentyseventeen, big excavators have been seen, they´ll break your walls, your wood and all your memories.
//: So many people crossed your doorstep, so many people touched your door grab, so many people in and out, you´ve made them proud
Refrain
