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)
