This song is about the children of Izieu who were arrested on April 6, 1944 and then deported to Auschwitz.
Under your eyes of mercy
We lived in love and peace
After a lonely winter
The sun was shining anew
But the devil stayed awake
Waiting for his time
We used to play in the garden
Or just to sit on a fence
We woke early in the morning
During this endless summer
We could have lived in peace
Till the end of time
But the devil stayed awake
Waiting for his time
Always lurking in the shadows
Santa Klaus and his pixies
Were nightmare fighters
Children's blood thirsty ogres
On the sixth of April
They came with their metal sleigh
They took us to the land of ice
Where the sun never shines
And on this cursed land,
Covered by the ashes of the dead
Our shadows will dance
Until the end of all time
