Night trains, filling up, on a railway station in Berlin
On the way, to the Eastern front, as winter was closing in
Young soldiers, who were on their way, to a freezing living hell
For victories dreams, has faded now, amongst explosion and deadley shells
(chorus)
Night trains, moving out, moving on, to the distant east
Pride and love, for the Fatherland, as they sought the road of victory
They choose to fight, against all odds, against a foe without a god
They fought for good, for all mankind, and on d**hs roads, they bravely trod
Marching on to a fiery fate, their courage it did not fail
To a land of fire and ice, they advanced up dangers trails
(chorus)
As they marched into the icy wastes, there was no end in their sights
All they had, was their comradeship, and the bitter cold of endless nights
So many died in graves of ice, never again to see their Fatherland
As their blood was spilt, so died their dreams, but for the true ideal they took their stand!
(chorus)
