This Song is a tribute to all those tough women and men who lost their lives because they did not want to betray Him who says to be The Way, The Truth and The Life. It is the second song I produced myself with FL Fruity Loops. Barry Eaton added Background Strings and towards the end of the song a smooth Saxophone.
Here are the lyrics:

It is the second song I produced myself with FL Fruity Loops. Barry Eaton added Background Strings and towards the end of the song a smooth Saxophone.
Here are the lyrics:
WITNESSES
Confessors gainst the Swastika,
led by the word of Jesus, you
resisted at the time of the dispute,
because suffering you not avoided.
With lasting clarity until death
impregnated by God and His commandment.
You stood up for the weak
the so "lebensunwert" (unworthy to live) called.
Your said No to the leaders
who went to destroy whole nations.
You saw God's hand involved,
when seed of fire fell from the sky.
You remained focussed and unbowed
in the face of judges.
In your dying you witnessed the Lord
as bright shining lights
prior to the bogus lie deviates
and false heroes` bleached fame.
That all life belongs to Him
who starts and ends it
and each man destroyes himself,
by megalomania is blinded.
You shouted loud and died for this,
so strengthen our witness
here and now!

Bekenner unterm Hakenkreuz
Bekenner unterm Hakenkreuz,
von Jesu Wort geleitet,
ihr hieltet stand zur Zeit des Streits,
weil ihr das Leid nicht scheutet.
Mit letzter Klarheit bis zum Tod
durchdrang euch Gott und sein Gebot.
Ihr tratet für die Schwachen ein,
die lebensunwert hießen.
Ihr sagtet zu den Führern Nein,
die Völker morden ließen.
Ihr wusstet Gottes Hand im Spiel,
als Feuersaat vom Himmel fiel.
Ihr bliebt gefasst und ungebeugt
im Angesicht der Richter.
Im Tod habt ihr den Herrn bezeugt
als strahlend helle Lichter,
vor deren Schein die Lüge weicht
und falscher Heldenruhm verbleicht.
Dass alles Leben dem gehört,
der es beginnt und endet,
und jeder Mensch sich selbst zerstört,
den Allmachtswahn verblendet:
ihr rieft es laut und starbt dafür.
Stärkt unser Zeugnis jetzt und hier!
