We march along through endless darkness into darkness We tread the over-trodden certainty that makes Blood Road
Birdsong frames our lonely marching song As we trudge on on on and on laughing into darkness We go crying into darkness
The darkness almost comforts us enfolds confuses us It covers us and waits for us like patient parents waiting It never lets us down won’t leave us un-caressed
Darkness loves us seduces us preparing us and raping us
Blood Road to Buchenwald
Along this road we know our way The way from darkness into terrifying darkness
Along Blood Road we have a certainty
Along Blood Road we laugh and cry
Beyond Blood Road we know we’ll die
