Hoher Brendten


Im Land in dem Großväter Mörder waren
Millionen Menschen ermordet, verbrannt
Dieses Land erwacht aus seinem Schlaf
Vergisst all das, was vorher war
Relativiert, die Opfer verhöhnt
Stauffenberg zum Helden gekrönt
Hitler als Mensch portraitiert
Täter gefeiert und heroisiert

Die da reden von vergessen
Die da reden von verzeihen
Denen schlage man die Fressen
Mit schweren Eisenhämmern ein

Im Land in dem Eltern Brandstifter waren
Grölende Meuten vor Heimen in Flammen
Dieses Land will einen Schlussstrich ziehen
Sich lieber auf Heldentaten besinnen
Von rechts überholt, Faschisten gewählt
Todeslisten zusammengestellt
Bedrohung von außen inszeniert
Panik verbreitet und Hass geschürt

Die da reden von vergessen
Die da reden von verzeihen
Denen schlage man die Fressen
Mit schweren Eisenhämmern ein

Hoher Brendten


In a country where grandfathers were murderers
Millions of people were killed and burned
This country now awakes from sleep
Forgets everything that has been
Relativising, mocking the victims
Turning Stauffenberg into a hero
Portraying Hitler as a human
Celebrating and glorifying perpetrators

‘Those who talk about forgetting
Those who talk about forgiving
Should have smashed their ugly faces
And crushed them with an iron maul’

In a country where parents were arsonists
Roaring mobs in front of burning homes
This country wants to put the past to rest
To rather reflect on heroic deeds
Overtaken on the right, fascists elected
Compiling death lists
Staging an external threat
Spreading panic and inciting hate

‘Those who talk about forgetting
Those who talk about forgiving
Should have smashed their ugly faces
And crushed them with an iron maul’
