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
