I lost my baby to a foreign war
She was cut down in the gunfire
Of the western world
She was livin in sin
I was livin in a lie

She was caught up in the
Glimmer of a rich man's eye
I couldn't see her from the other side
They said: son, there is no glory in your pride
I will wait at the Brandenburg Gate
At the Brandenburg Gate I'll wait

Well, I lost my baby to a foreign war
She was cut down in the gunfire of the western world
She was searching for salvation in the things you buy
I was finding all the reason to give up on life
If you love something and give it away
It can't come back unless you're free
I will wait at the Brandenburg Gate
At the Brandenburg Gate I'll wait

I wait
Somewhere in the in between
Where the east and the west meet
In the 30 years war where I came clean
That's where you will find me
So I wait, I wait
I will wait at the Brandenburg gate
At the Brandenburg gate I'll wait
