[Verse 2]
Em C
This is the turn of colours, All real but still unseen
G B
There is no more decision, 'Cause there's too much in between
Em C
Let us build a nightmare nation, Learn and work as never yet
G B
That this cold new generation, Faith in its own fears beget
Em C
Here comes the modern rat, Here comes the terror-squad
G B
Ours is the salt of wisdom, Here we come all dressed in black
Em C
From the ruins risen slowly, To the future turned we stand
G B
Flourish in this blessing glory, Flourish, German fatherland
[Chorus 2x]
Em C
I write to Germany, I write to Germany
G B
Germany with love, Germany with love

I write to Germany (I write to Germany) (I write to Germany)
(I write to Germany) (I write to Germany)

To Germany (I write to Germany)

(I write to Germany) (I write to Germany) (I write to Germany)
