Lyrics
I tried hard to be proud of my service, but all I could feel was shame
Racism could no longer mask the reality of the occupation
These were people, these were human beings
I've since been plagued by guilt, any time I see an elderly man
The war was raging all over the world
The Nazis were strong and unstoppable
'Cross the land they killed with hate
'Til the last foe alive
One day they needed to fight in the South
Hitler then looked for a wise and brave man
To defeat the British Commonwealth
Under the desert sun
Rommel was his name, he was a veteran
Born in November of 1891
Joined the army at eighteen
By his father he was forced
He served his country during the Great War
There he made his elite reputation
Honored with many high ranks
Praised for his strategies
There in Africa he became Hitler's favourite man
But deep inside he knew he fought for the wrong side
From battle to battle they fell at his feet
He kicked the Allies out of Libya
But in Tobruk he was defeated
By Australian troops
He'd never stop fighting until he'd succeed
After three attempts the Axis finally won
Tobruk became a new victory
Egypt was next on the map
There in Africa he became Hitler's favourite man
But deep inside he knew he fought for the wrong side
He was the Desert Fox
The unstoppable warrior
With a heart of gold
When he could he spared lives
Desert Fox
The unstoppable warrior
With a heart of gold
In history his own war will remain
El-Alamein was the decisive fight
There he lost twice 'gainst the British Commonwealth
The second time pulled him back
He then fought in Tunisia
There in the battle of Kasserine Pass
He fought and beat the American army
T'was the last battle in the South
He then went back to the North
There in Africa he became Hitler's favourite man
But deep inside he knew he fought for the wrong side
He was the Desert Fox
The unstoppable warrior
With a heart of gold
When he could he spared lives
Desert Fox
The unstoppable warrior
With a heart of gold
In history his own war will remain
Deep in his heart he knew he was wrong
Too many men were slaughtered here
This to end, this senseless massacre he knew
Hitler's ambition had to be stopped
Against their master they conspired
He and the enlightened ones
A masterplan was conceived
To put an end to this hell on Earth
All of the plan was found by the man
Their quest for peace was forced to stop
Vengeance!
Hitler had to take
All these betrayers had to die
Once the favourite, now the enemy
He had to pay like everyone
Either his family or himself
Had to die for what he's done
There in Africa he became Hitler's favourite man
But deep inside he knew he fought for the wrong side
He was the Desert Fox
The unstoppable warrior
With a heart of gold
When he could he spared lives
Desert Fox
The unstoppable warrior
With a heart of gold
In history his own war will remain
By the poison he died
In October of 1944
By his fellows and his enemies
He'll be remembered as the Desert
By the poison he died
In October of 1944
By his fellows and his enemies
He'll be remembered as the Desert Fox
