I'm lookin' back, back in time
To a place where the heavens shined
It was the land of my fathers, the land of my kin
This is the place that it all begins
Chorus:
I'm back in the fatherland
Back, back, back back, back, back
I'm back in the fatherland
Back, back, back back, back, back
I think of all the beauty I've seen
Snow capped peaks and forests so green
From the acorns the mighty oaks grew
Blood and soil made it all come true
(Repeat Chorus)
Look to the Alps there lies the eagles nest
Perched high above the mountain crest
I think of the tales I've been told
Of air so fresh yet so cold
(Repeat Chorus)
Every castle I see tells a story
Tales of battles, blood, and glory
Of the crusaders that fought and died
To keep the flame burning alive
