The Spandau Enigma Lyrics

[Prisoner No. 7]

I died yesterday

Strangled by two men

They said I took my life

But they'd taken mine twice

They say they know me well

But I know I am innocent

My name is Alfred Horn

Dead since May, 1941

Then at last I closed my eyes

Forgotten? Forgiven?

Before my light goes off

I want you all to know

Before my soul ascends

I wish to be absolved

I was a simple man

A scapegoat for the great plan

The big owl's left it's cage

And flew into oblivion...

[Chorus:]

[The Scholar]

Who died there... in that cold cell?

Quid est Veritas? - His diary read.

Truth or tale?

[Prisoner No. 7]

So many years have passed

Since that dreadful night

When I landed on the glens

And kissed my freedom goodbye

A thousand miles away

Four walls to drive me insane

The flames of desperation

Burnt my hopes right to the ground

Not alone

No, no, not alone

No, never, never alone

Never, ever, utterly alone

Voices in my head!

My madness dies with me

Then at last I've found my rest

Forsaken? Forgiven?

So this is how it ends,

I take the blame to the grave

The men in black are here

My fate's becoming clear

The enigma lies unsolved

Six feet underground

But I have told my tale

And crave for absolution...

[Repeat chorus].

We may never ever know,

The Spandau Enigma, one and all,

The mystery lingers on,

The Spandau Enigma lies unsolved!
