the holocaust

Masses brought in by train
It causes a national pain
Left, right
Left, right
The commander decided who lived and died
Children killed
Hitler ordered no survivors
People scream
They try to run
Their work gets doubled
Then out they march
To certain doom
The chamber gets locked
The gas sets in
Their souls slip away
When the British soldiers arrive
Its’s too little to late
Remember the millions
Who lost their lives
Fighting for their family and friends to survive
They should be honoured
Those who survived
Changed forever
Their lives would never be the same again
Their bravery in all our hearts
Forever in our thoughts
Remember the effort they had to put in to live another day
They were beaten and abused
No one cared that they were slowly dying
Their sadness echoes through the walls of the concentration camps
Their fear clenches to the walls of the chambers of hell
Their death wasn’t quick it was long
It was painful
The innocent prosecuted
With no good reason
Children pine for their missing parents
Stolen in the night and locked away
Soon killed
But never forgotten
their new descendants told of their pain
they live on in the memories
of the entire world  
their death is a stain on Germany
it is the worlds biggest failure
and the soldiers deepest regret.
