Tales of Honor

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
 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 had just begun
 Destination-Scotland, the Duke of Hamilton he must seek
 But what was to unfold from this emissary of peace?

 Chorus:
 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 brother’s 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 of 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
 ‘Cause he tried to end the war, they sentenced him to hell

 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 17th
 When Hess began his journey in to eternal sleep
 You’re gone but not forgotten
 You live in our hearts and minds
 What you have done to save your race
 Sends chills down my spine
 Every year on the 17th we fly our flags up high
 And salute in remembrance
 true martyr of our time
