Ich nicht vergessen
The words I want to hear
Tell me that nothing is completely forgotten
Tell me that there is still faith in my country
In my history
In my land
In me
Tell me I'm not broken
I'm a country of honesty, but at least for now, I want you to lie
It is a bastardous deed, but I need it
Words are like poison
Like drug
And I need that drug more than anything else
Tell me that everything is okay
That after this is over, we can go home
Go home and forget this ever happened
Ich nicht vergessen
Why are you looking away?
Why won't you look into my eyes?
I'm not asking for much
Just please speak
Because without those words
I am nothing
The victories
The killings
The innocent blood spilled all over my history
That became nothing once that paper was signed
It's unfair, you say?
To tell the truth, the world was never fair to me
My ghost pale skin
My hellfire eyes
My prideful personality
All of that shaped all the hate that helped sign that paper
It was signed by delegates and it was lawful?
No, it was signed by feelings of revenge and despise
Ich nicht vergessen
You ask me what I feel?
I feel so much
Rage, envy, shock
Rage for the men that decided that I should be no longer
Envy for the nations that were spared of what they did
Shock for the ungratefulness of this generation
But in the end
Will that change anything?
If I set fire to this city, to this country, to the world
Will that change their minds?
Of course not
So for the time being
Just say those words
Say what I need to merely exist
Ich nicht vergessen
