The song is an account of a UK Channel 4 TV programme, from which the song gets its title. It was the story of four young 'Neo-Nazis', from different European countries, taken on a train journey through Europe. During which they met a number of Holocaust survivors and ended up at Auschwitz.
You may have thought that this would have changed their views a little, but unfortunately, this did not happen. It is a song to be sung to these four and. unfortunately many others.
ANOTHER JOURNEY BY TRAIN
You enter the 'Gates of Hell', and you deny the fires
Stand among the ghosts of thousands, who you brand as liars
Why do you deny it, for you know the truth inside?
It's not a matter of opinion, how these people died
Heads of stone
Hearts of ice
It's only the truth you sacrifice
Five men on the corner, oh how it tears my heart
Alone with his memories, the old man stands apart
You refuse to hear him, for "he doesn't count", you say
Builders of the 'New Tomorrow', does the past get in your way?
Hearts of ice
Heads of stone
So many people, so far from home
One small lady and four big men, a brave thing to do?
A survivor of the 'real thing', what does she have to fear from you?
In the shadow of the tower, she shows you her tattoo
And you have the nerve to tell her, you're now the persecuted few?
Heads of stone
Hearts of ice
It's only the truth you sacrifice
Some of you don't understand, but some understand so well
Frozen hearts will seize your granite minds if you fall under their spell
The world goes through its changes, but some things stay the same
When you know, you can't be wrong, you'll find someone else to blame
Hearts of ice
Heads of stone
So many people, so far from home
Heads of stone
Hearts of ice
It's only the truth you sacrifice
