Well I lost my baby to a foreign war
Then she was cut down in the gunfire of the Western world
(palm mute)
She was living in sin, I was living in a lie
She was caught up in the glimmer of a rich man's eye
I couldn't see it from the other side
They said "Son, There's no glory in your pride"
But I will wait, at the Brandenburg Gate, at the Brandenburg Gate I'll wait (2x)
I'll wait
Well I lost my baby to a foreign war
Then she was cut down in the gunfire of the Western world
Yeah, she was searching for salvation in the things you buy
She was finding all the reasons to give up on life
If you love something then give it away
No, I can't come back unless you are free
But I will wait, at the Brandenburg Gate, at the Brandenburg Gate I'll wait (2x)
Oh, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait
Somewhere in the in-between, where the East and the West meet
The thirty-year war where I came clean, that's where you'll find me
I'll wait
I'll wait
But I will wait, at the Brandenburg Gate, at the Brandenburg Gate I'll wait (2x)
Oh, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait
Well, I lost my baby to a foreign war
