From where I stand I can clearly see
where the trains used to arrive
Before my eyes the saddest scenery
seen by anyone alive

how could this be
how could we let 
it come this far

images far beyond belief
daring me to inquire
those hollow eyes keep on haunting me
staring from behind the wire

how could this be
how could we let 
it come this far

Crimes against humanity
through organized insanity
Lest we forget the tragedy
of the darkest page in history

the trains kept rollin' on - destination unknown
deprived of any dignity
marked as debarked and processed

please don't take my child,  a mother plead in vain
sentenced with the flick of a cane
marked as debarked and processed

the last voice breaks the last breath stops
as time stands still 
The last kaddish still resounds
for those who fell

how could this be
how could we let 
it come this far

Crimes against humanity
through organized insanity
Lest we forget the tragedy
of the darkest page in history

Crimes against humanity
through organized insanity
Lest we forget the tragedy
of the darkest page in history
