Before the wall fell
Under the lamppost
In silhouette tell
So still they stood
To a window they look
They put the fear of death
In scare ridden spook
These Ministry shadows
Who haunted neighbourhoods
Persecuting the weak
Because they know they could
After the wall fell
It became their demise
This Stasi, State Security
In all out despise
Many people died
Or simply disappeared
By these silhouettes under the lamppost
That a nation feared
After the wall fell
They were hunted and traced
This Stasi, State Security
Have finally been erased
Culture's Shaped the Wreath
This symbol, the wreath, in cultures of our past
In our modern world, a Christmas ring that's here to last
Made of flowers, leaves, twigs and various fruits
Around the world their decorated, in individual suit
Strength and harsh winters, symbolised by the evergreens
Eternity in it's circumference, for many Christmas winter scenes
It's now so much in our culture, and forever it will last
To the Greeks and the Romans, I salute your cultural past
