Are you close to   Or far from your conscience?   As the petals of life   Decay   "Ignorance is bliss"   The sad remiss   To the clarion call   Of today      (see how it burns)      But, we struggle in wyrd with amusement   And, contempt for all that holds sway   Are you close to   Or far from your conscience?   Is the question I ask   Today      (see how they run)      Kameradschaft!      Are you close to   Or far from your conscience?   As their reason for life   Fades away   Petty beliefs - petty platitudes   All ring hollow today      Are you close to   Or far from your conscience?   As the blossom of life   Drifts away   Are you close to   Or far from your conscience?   Is the question I ask today      Kameradschaft!      Every angel knows   The congress of liberty   The sadness and smiles   Of our memories   With this - we let go   Our lady of the snows      Kameradschaft!      Are you close to   Or far from your conscience?   As their meaning in life   Dies away   Are you close to   Or far from your conscience?   The question I ask today      Kameradschaft!
