[chorus]
Awake from your sleep
It's been a long slumber
It's been over 50 years
of the spell you've been under
Awake o' Fatherland
[verse 1]
Destruction and prosperity--
you've seen it all
Built the greatest empire then seen it fall
You stood alone against jealousy and hate
The world couldn't stand
to see you so great
[chorus]
[verse 2]
You were ravaged and torn,
your will defiled
Villanized by the world in a series of trials
Now broken, they tried
to drown you in guilt
You picked up the pieces
and now you've rebuilt
[chorus]
[verse 3]
Your citizens divided
and families kept apart
Divided by a wall
built right through your heart
Prisoners of twin evils,
their fates were decided
But then the wall fell
and the people were reunited
[chorus]
[chorus]
Awake from your sleep
It's been a long slumber
It's been over 50 years
of the spell you've been under
I look to the future it's in your hands
It's time to awake, my fatherland
[chorus]
Awake, my fatherland
