In the country split by strife, and carved up by the
victor's knife
And at the end at the communist's call, Berlin was split
by an evil wall
Corrupted minds divided the spoil, and you were caught in
the serpent's coil
They tried to say that your pride was a crime, and they
tried to bury pride until the end of time
(chorus)
Tear it down now, tear it down
Tear this wall of tears, tear it down to the ground
Tear it down now, tear it down
Tear this wall of tears, tear it down to the ground
And now the people dance in the street, and the foe is
beaten
Just look now the Red beast has stopped killing, we must
remember that he's dangerous still
The price you paid for believing the truth, in the evil
victory yeah the wall was the proof
The Nuremberg martyrs' voices raised, and the world will
know they should have been praised.
(chorus)
instrumental break
(chorus) x2
Wall of tears...
