Forty Six Years

Eighty-seven was his final year

Nearly five decades through a veil of tears

A man whose courage, it was unsurpassed

No surrender until the very last

-

(chorus)

Forty six years, forty six years

Forty six years, he stayed true to his faith

-

They tried to break him with their corrupt ways

Offered freedom until the end of his days

They wanted him to denounce the Fuhrer

But his devotion was always true

-

And now he's dead, Rudolph Hess is free

He's paid the price for his loyalty

A man who left a son and a wife

We won't forget his sacrifice
