Lyrics
The text refers to the resurgent Neo-Nazism in Germany at that time with sentences like "They're marching on with torches....The tale is told again" and the warning "And if we don't care, we end up all the same. We stroke the flames, we never quenched all those years. We should have learned. from things which may come close."[3]
