Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The dawn of century, a boy born by a lake
Resettled from Karelia's plains
Grown to a man in exile as the great war came
Unleashed the shadow on his world
[Verse 2]
Whoa, no
Whoa, no
Who knows his name?
[Verse 3]
Inmate in Hell or a hero imprisoned?
Soldier in Auschwitz, who knows his name?
Locked in a cell, waging war from the prison
Hiding in Auschwitz, who hides behind 4859?
[Verse 4]
Outside help never came, decided to break free
The end of April '43
Join the uprising, fight on the streets while hidin' his rank
Takes command all while serving his country in need
[Verse 5]
Whoa, no
Whoa, no
Who knows his name?
[Verse 6]
Inmate in Hell or a hero imprisoned?
Soldier in Auschwitz, who knows his name?
Locked in a cell, waging war from the prison
Hiding in Auschwitz, who hides behind 4859?
[Verse 7]
Sent to a prison, where the heroes are judged as traitors
Accused of treason by his own
Sentenced by countrymen
Under pressure of foreign influence
Men he once fought to free
[Verse 8]
Inmate in Hell or a hero imprisoned?
Soldier in Auschwitz, we know his name
Locked in a cell, waging war from the prison
Hiding in Auschwitz, he hides behind 4859
