I'm lookin' back, back in time

To a place where the heavens shined

It was the land of my fathers, the land of my kin

This is the place that it all begins





Chorus:

I'm back in the fatherland

Back, back, back back, back, back

I'm back in the fatherland

Back, back, back back, back, back





I think of all the beauty I've seen

Snow capped peaks and forests so green

From the acorns the mighty oaks grew

Blood and soil made it all come true





(Repeat Chorus)





Look to the Alps there lies the eagles nest

Perched high above the mountain crest

I think of the tales I've been told

Of air so fresh yet so cold





(Repeat Chorus)





Every castle I see tells a story

Tales of battles, blood, and glory

Of the crusaders that fought and died

To keep the flame burning alive





(Repeat Chorus)
