The Flower Kings - Bavarian Skies video free download

Bavarian Skies by the Flower Kings. A personal favorite of mine since the first time I heard the album. I wasn't aware of the lyrical content at the time, having only vague suspicions. I read an interview with Roine Stolt where the lyrics were explained so my feelings about the band or this song remain unchanged.

-- LYRICS --

Goodnight, goodbye, auf wiedersehen

Now time has come for sleep

May God forgive me if I dwell

Once more in glorious dreams

For 50 years I've lived in exile

But they'd like to see me swing

I've moved around to escape the lies

And I've turned away from those hateful clowns

Jealous and greedy, star of David

We made them kneel

But still their God couldn't save'em

Goodbye, finito, the final solution is real

Goodnight, goodbye, auf wiedersehen

Now time has one more dream

I dream of old Bavarian skies

And mountain views beneath

I loved my country just like you

But times turned out so strange, so strange

Someone may claim I was evil

Now even notorious, now that's a lie

There is no smoke without fire

The Jews they are liars, of course, now we have proved

Such an excellent scapegoat, now let's move them

And Germany was going bad, all wrong

So we asked our god for a strong man

To give back the glory land

That was the dawn, the beginning of impact

We are felt so strong, how could we all be wrong

For once God's glory shone over Germany

No more defeat, no more retreat

So unified, we were all so proud

We were "über alles"

What a glorious feeling of power

Goodnight, goodbye, auf wiedersehen...
