The dawn of century a boy born by a lake

Resettled from Karelia’s plains

Go to a man in exile as the Great War came

Unleashed a shadow on his world



Witold, Witold, who knows his name?



Inmate in hell or a hero in prison?

Soldier in Auschwitz who knows his name

Locked in a cell, waging war from the prison

Hiding in Auschwitz who hides behind 4859



Outside of never came decided to break free

The end of April ‘43

Joined the Uprising, fight on the streets while hiding his rank

Takes command (all for) serving his country in need



Witold, Witold, who knows his name?



Inmate in hell or a hero in prison?

Soldier in Auschwitz who knows his name

Locked in a cell, waging war from the prison

Hiding in Auschwitz who hides behind 4859



Sent to the prison where the heroes are judged as traitors

Accused of treason by his own

Sentenced by countrymen under pressure of foreign influence

Men he once fought to free



Inmate in hell or a hero in prison?

Soldier in Auschwitz we know his name

Locked in a cell, waging war from the prison

Hiding in Auschwitz he hides behind 4859
