 or far from your conscience?
 as the petals of life

 " ignorance is bliss"

 and, contempt for all that holds sway
 are you close to
 or far from your conscience?

kameradschaft!

are you close to
 or far from your conscience?
 as their reason for life
 fades away
 petty beliefs - petty platitudes
 all ring hollow today

 drifts away

 or far from your conscience?

 the congress of liberty
 the sadness and smiles
 of our memories
 with this - we let go
 our lady of the snows

kameradschaft!

are you close to
 or far from your conscience?
 as their meaning in life
 dies away
 are you close to
 or far from your conscience?
 the question I ask today

kameradschaft!
