Forty Six Years

Forty Six Years Lyrics

Eighty-seven was his final year
Nearly five decades through a veil of tears
A man whose courage, it was unsurpassed
No surrender until the very last
-
(chorus)
Forty six years, forty six years
Forty six years, he stayed true to his faith
-
They tried to break him with their corrupt ways
Offered freedom until the end of his days
They wanted him to denounce the Fuhrer
But his devotion was always true
-
And now he's dead, Rudolph Hess is free
He's paid the price for his loyalty
A man who left a son and a wife
We won't forget his sacrifice
