Ballydowse - Song For Elie lyrics

i see a fire in the distance mother my love i see those rising flames are those the sabbath candles glowing no my love, but you will rest the same i haven't seen you since the separation i watched you pushed along by the crowd on the train you swore we'd stick together still i look for you even now a million judenkinder, the dulling of the stars barefoot across the crystal nacht but we can't get thru the bars where are you now does heaven pay the price can the one who wipes your tears away make faith from this ice unbar the door for i must come in the kingdom of memory, burrows of the night i'm no survivor i was not yet born but i'm drawn like a sacred rite the past it belongs to you frozen forever like that lone tattoo silent before you i can be your tears but i'm locked outside by six million years your memories our shield, we will not forget we will not forget... schreibt und forschreibt for us we will not forget to our hearts we'll clutch each name we will not forget
