He took the reins of power in 1933 The appointed deputy fuhrer of the N.S.D.A.P. This is the story of Rudolf Hess a brave and loyal man He gave his life for his beliefs because he loved his land On that night of May 10th in 1941 He boarded an Me-110 for his mission has just begun Destination:Scotland the duke of Hamilton he must seek But what was to unfold from this emissary of peace.....
Sieg Heil- Rudolf Hess your legacy lives on Your courage and your honour, keeps us marching strong Sieg Heil- Rudolf Hess amongst the gods you lie you live on in Valhalla 'cause true heroes never die
Imprisoned! For his proposal of peace An attempt at white unity so the brothers war would cease Held as a private prisoner for the duration of the war until October 1945 when the trial hit the floor Hess was found guilty for crimes against peace sentenced to a life in hell for fighting for his beliefs Then for the next 40 years he'd rot in a Spandau cell Because he tried to end the war they sentenced him to hell....
(Repeat Chorus)
Now stripped of his identity and left to rot away no longer known as Rudolf Hess number 7 his new name Until in 1987 on August 17 when Hess began his journey to eternal sleep Your gone but not forgotten you live in our hearts and minds what you have done to save your race sends chills down my spine Now every year on the 17th we fly our flags up high and salute in remembrance a true martyr of our time....
