Testo Sanctus/Auschwitz - David Axelrod
Testo della canzone Sanctus/Auschwitz (David Axelrod), tratta dall'album Requiem - The Holocaust
Auschwitz was not, repeat, was not a true labor camp
It was for extermination, to murder an entire race of human beings
It was a slaughterhouse, it had two missions, to kill was uppermost
But what was made there went to help the war effort
Nothing, nothing was wasted
The hair of the victims was used
In mattresses and for caulking
From the victims' teeth
The gold and the silver fillings were sent
To the Reichsbank
The bones of the victims were used for phosphates
The fat of the victims was used for soap
Even the ashes of the victims went into the war effort
As fertilizer
This, then, was Auschwitz
Sanctus, sanctus, sanctus dominus
Deus, sana in excelsis
Tattoo
I must not forget my number
I once cried out my name
And I was kicked and kicked
I was beaten, forced down
And that same boot I lit, I lit
A morning meal, a slice of bread
Burial, falling with peace
Hands, feet, so varicose
So varicose you could not feel
People dying in their own filth
Dying in their own filth
Disease, starvation, cruelty
And here we were praying for the comfort of death
Tall, marred, fraught
Death will make you free
