Frozen to death he lies
At the end of your road
As your working day begins
Avert your eyes
And he is gone
For your eyes are shut tight
"We're doing all right"
Is every liar's credo
These eyes are blind to pain and suffering
No-one takes a look
And it's all gone
For our eyes are shut tight
[Chorus]
Eyes shut [1]
Their lids closed tight
Go ahead
In your stupid steady stride
The people are marching
Just like in the old days
Their heads in the sand
Nobody realizes it
Eyes shut
Begotten in lust, born devoid of joy
A hatch devours your unwanted child [2]
You don't want to see it
But it only disappeared
Because your eyes are shut tight
The sea irradiated
A baby without hands
Death rides in softly on the night breeze
No-one takes a look
And it's all gone
For our eyes are shut tight
(Chorus)
"Sieg Heil", you can still hear the call
The Führer's picture hangs in many lockers
We avert our eyes
And it is gone
For our eyes are shut tight
The road is open
To blind batallions
May the system win this battle
Everyone avert their eyes
Hope has faded
For all eyes are shut tight
