Night of the Long Knives
In the beginning the Nazi party was a failure Germany seemed to be thriving seemed to turn its favor Borrowing money post war playing off sympathies The treaty was too harsh it was crippling A disgrace disgusting to sink so low In Hitler's eyes he couldn't stand the old ways anymore Biding his time crafting an image his party it grew Until the moment things will change in their favor soon Great depression it hit the world with an iron fist Whatever comfort the Weimar's had disappeared with it The Nazis seized upon this yes to make a push Win the election with propaganda and Hitler's words so new In 1929 Himmler an unassuming man Would grow the S.S. into a force that stands For everything that is dark in the Nazi brand Skull and crossbones black shirts would bring fear to men
290 men grew to three thousand The SS became fearsome it was astounding Just in a short year Himmler had amassed a force But they still were subordinate to the SA brown shirts Who were reckless and violent out of control Losing the favor of the Army Hitler needed so Something had to be done and it will be done Once the Reichstag burns and becomes a ruin Reichstag fire decree and the Enabling Act Gave legislative control to Hitler and his whole pack They passed a law that stated upon von Hindenburg's death Hitler would reign the next day he was dead
To gain power You must deceive them see To keep power Fear is the key The Nazis won most of the votes Hitler named chancellor the Reichstag would be no more To gain power You must deceive them see To keep power Fear was the key The Nazis won most of the votes Hitler named Chancellor the Reichstag will be no more
Political enemies must pay That's the path they take Rohm could stage a coup the SA must fade And be absorbed into them The Schutzstaffel my friend But for there to be change blood must be spilled in the end Himmler's SS and Goering's secret police Destine to become infamous for killing not discrete Hummingbird was the code to send the death squads Into action the night of the long knives End the enemies' passion

The night it has begun their enemies will pay The left wing strasserist Strasser he will fade His blood has been spilled along with many others No trial no conviction just calculated murder The SS in the black of the night roam the streets Rounding up those who would dare to fight Executions on the spot no promise of light Even if you were suspected your guilty that's right
The night the night the night the night the night The Night of the Long Knives The night the night the night the night the night The Night of the Long Knives
Von Schleicher Gustav Ritter Von Kahr Those who stood against the Beer hall now destine to fall Ernst Rohm commander of the SA troops And many more in his command met their ends too soon This night would be a turning point for all of Germany Subsequently the world and human history For this signified the birth of an unchallenged leader A Fuhrer a Reich and a conquest so lethal
The night the night the night the night the night The Night of the Long Knives The night the night the night the night the night The Night of the Long Knives
Yeah when the purge was over Hitler reigned supreme When the purge was over blood it filled the streets The SS stood on top Himmler did succeed In rooting out the opposition it was swift indeed So brutal was this man yes he did create The first concentration camp at Dachau but wait There will be many more in the coming years And watching over all of the them the SS so feared
The death brigade that would march under deaths head And persecute any race that was deemed unfit The Bolsheviks and Jews just to name a few This monstrous mentality had now took root Under a veil of secrecy the allied powers don't know Just what catastrophe awaits in the years to come Hitler with his SS ruled relentlessly They swore an oath of allegiance and kill senselessly
They swore an oath of allegiance and kill!
