Valley of Dark Memories
Here in my valley I had to see
What the night has brought
Here in this valley I had to see
The coldest winter of all
In this cold winter in the days of the sword
Of flames and ruins and grief
Here in this winter I had to leave
In the darkest century of all
Throughout this dark century my memories remain
My fate is captured in stone
In this dark century I had to learn
To rate the value of life
Here in my valley - the cenotaph of fear
My epitaph is inscribed
Here in this valley in the refuge of hope
My d**h warns throughout time
(Dedicated to Dresden)
