Can I hear an apology?
The Cold War was torture that left me cold
The truth was whispered but stayed untold
Great Wall of Berlin out of ruins between me and you
Knock, knock, knock
How many of the devil's horns stand up?
The years go by and every day I send a blessing
To the beautiful ruins that shelter me
Pure like a hope keeps me healthy and clean
The truce was big news in the blue but we kept busy in
our trenches
Knock, knock, knock
How many of the devil's horns stand up?
Take the war out of the soldier
Take his whole life, too
And every day leaves us one day older
Every morning one inch smaller
And every night time one more coward
In all directions but fast forward
Every day leaves us one day older
and I'm afraid I'll never tell her
Can I hear an apology?
The Cold War was torture that left me cold
The truth was whispered but stayed untold
Great Wall of Berlin out of ruins between me and you
Knock, knock, knock
How many of the devil's horns stand up?
