Munich in the year of 1943
A girl revealed the truth and spread it around
The horrors of the eastern front and genocide
What printed out an' spread all campus ‘round
For they preach about the war that they were winning
Their propaganda kept the people blind
Like puppets, living lies that they believed in
Indifferent to the crime they leave behind
Chorus
The White Rose stood for courage, under pressure to comply
The White Rose stood against them
And in Stadelheim, they were sentenced then to die
As a Christian fought for the rights she believed in
And resisted what the Reich had come to do
Her views and theirs could never be more different
She'd help to spread the word on what was true
The leaflets were thrown out just like confetti
They'll tell them who our country had to hear
They placed a pile at every cla**room doorway
But were captured and arrested without fear
Chorus
Even though we know our cause is righteous
And the price of failure brings a highest cost
If a thousand were to wake and take our action
Then our lives will never truly have been lost
Sophie Scholl, ye showed them all your courage
With Christoph and with Hans you'll meet again
Your people now embrace your hand with honor
Rest in peace, your lives were not in vain
The White Rose stood for courage, under pressure to comply
The White Rose stood against them
And in Stadelheim, they were sentenced then
The White Rose stood for courage, under pressure to comply
The White Rose stood against them
And in Stadelheim they were sentenced then to die
And in Stadelheim they were sentenced then to die
