Arbeit Macht Frei

Thousands, hundreds of thousands of us
Come here each day
Not knowing that this might be the last
On this earth that we were going to stay.


And we still dont know what's going to happen next
Why in God's name did they leave us so many days without water?
While we were filling our cups, we heard cries
Of a little boy wanting to be next to his father.


We have to follow the finger of a SS
Right, left, right, left, right
What does this all mean? What? WHAT?
In the hearts of all there's a terrible fright.


When my turn and little Damecík came
He was sent to the left and I to the right
I didn't want to be separated of him
And I wasn't going to accept this without a fight.


It was impossible for me to leave him
It's an unwritten mother-child oath
After we had to take off our clothes, I knew
That we were to perish both.
