The Sheep Chose a Wolf

What I saw at the rallies, what I felt in my heart

Was a truth that was hidden, obscured from the start

Discipline, order, these appealed in my youth

But they took a dark turn as I learned the truth

I marched with that damn Nazi flag in my hand

Those boys all saluted, obeyed my command

I let it consume me, it was all I could feel

Authority, power, the seduction is real

I watched the sheep choose a wolf as their shepherd

I watched the sheep choose a wolf as their shepherd

And now, now we just watch them fall

Hitler, he spoke to us, he spoke to our youth

He valued, empowered us, he told us the truth

How was I the only one who heard?

He did tell it straight, every single word

A vow that the world to us would soon cower

Restore our great nation to glory and power

Bring back our strength and our previous might

Prepare us to win any glorious fight

I watched the sheep choose a wolf as their shepherd

I watched the sheep choose a wolf as their shepherd

But it's so hard to resist an offer to count

To matter at last as threats seem to mount

"Sieg heil, mein führer, you are revered"

He told us he'd use us, and gladly we cheered

He'd treat us as equals, each boy was a man

He promised to use us as part of his plan

He was so proud, so proud, so proud of us, each and every one

Wield a shovel today and tomorrow a gun

I watched the sheep choose a wolf as their shepherd

I watched the sheep choose a wolf as their shepherd

And now, now, we just watch them fall

And now, we watch him devour them all
