[Verse 1]
Em
He sat in a room
     Am                  Em
in a square the color of blood.
Em
He'd rule the whole world
   Am                      Em
if there was a way that he could.
Em                D
He'd sit and he'd stare
       Am                     Em
at the minarets on top of the towers.
Em             D
For he was the beast
      Am                            Em
as he hatched his new plans to gain power.
 
[Chorus 1]
        G    D
And the snow fell
Am                       Em
covering the dreams and ideals.
        G    D
And the snow fell
Am                          Em
freezing the blood and the wheels.
        G    D
And the snow fell
     Am                      Em
They had to keep warm for survival.
        G    D
And the snow fell
      Am                      Em
and defeated the beast's only rival.
 
[Verse 2]
Em
They took the old roads
       Am                 Em
that Napoleon had taken before.
Em
They fought as the forces of light
            Am            Em
against the darkness in a holy war.
Em                D
One day they were looking around
       Am                      Em
at the sun shining on the cold flowers.
Em                     D
The next day they were freezing to death
       Am                    Em
in the snow and the ice cold showers.

and defeated the beast's only rival.       
 
[Verse 3]
Em
Then came the deadly roads
              Am               Em
back from the steps of their retreat.
Em
The cold racked their bodies
    Am                      Em
but worse was the pain of defeat.
Em                  D
Many people who had hailed them once
    Am                 Em
now turned and looked away.
Em               D
These people now knew
         Am               Em
that the beast was on its way.

And the snow fell
      Am                      Em
and defeated the beast's only rival.
 
[Verse 4]
Em
You finally came back
       Am                    Em
to the borders of your fatherland.
Em
Now enemies came
Am                     Em
traitors everywhere at hand.
Em                  D
Many people who had fought and died
        Am               Em
knowing that they had to win.
Em                D
Well yet still it sickens my heart
           Am                      Em
to see the picture of the red flag in Berlin.
 
[Chorus 4]
        G    D
And the snow fell
Am                       Em
covering the dreams and ideals.

      Am                      Em
and defeated the beast's only rival.
