The Soul and the Barbed Wire Songtext
von Envig

Conscripted to fight for the Motherland
Against the invading fascists
In solidaric fashion
A part of the leader′s fist

Turning point
Suspected
Traitor
Interrogation
Torture
Isolation
Confession
Off to the camp

The soul and the barbed wire
Camp life begun
Living as liars
All for none
The soul and the barbed wire
The soul and the barbed wire


Been stuck for years in this frozen hell
Eating maggot-infested fish guts
My knuckles worked down to the very bone
While I'm guarded by small-minded sadists

Morning
Labor
Sundown
My shift continues
Bounties
Dehydration
Wolfpacks
No chance to escape

The soul and the barbed wire
Camp life is here
Learning from liars
Become what you fear
The soul and the barbed wire
The soul and the barbed wire

The soul and the barbed wire
Camp life is nigh
We are the liars
Until we die
