For centuries past this war madness	A
Has laid hold of each combative race	B
While our God takes but heed of the flower	C
And that sun moon and stars keep their place	B
	-
The sight of the heavens above us	A
The bird's nest and lily like snow	D
Drive not from the brain of us mortals	E
The war thirst with its feverish flow	D
	-
We love but the field with its carnage	F
And the strife which turns earth into hell	G
And eager for glory the people	H
Would not change the fierce drum for church bell	G
	-
The vain aspirations of glory	I
With banners and cars of bright gold	J
Draw tears from the widows and orphans	K
As often has happened of old	J
	-
Our natures have changed to brute fierceness	K
'Forward Die ' bursts from each angry throat	L
While our lips seem to mimic the music	M
Of the echoing war trumpet's note	L
	-
Steel flashes the bivouacs are smoking	N
As with pale brows we eagerly run	O
The thoughtful are driven to madness	K
By the flash and the roar of the gun	O
	-
Our lives are but spent for the glory	I
Of the kings who smile over our grave	P
And build up a fabric of friendship	Q
With cement from the blood of the brave	P
	-
While the beats of the field and the vultures	K
Come in search of their banquet of hell	G
And they strip the red flesh from the bodies	K
That lie stiff and stark where they fell	G
	-
Each man's hand is raised 'gainst his neighbour	I
While he strives all his wrath to excite	R
And trades on our natural weakness	K
To inveigle us into the fight	R
	-
'A Russian Quick Cut down the villain	O
Put your sword through that murderous Croat	S
How dare they from our men to differ	I
Or venture to wear a white coat '	-
	-
'I slay fellow creatures and go on	T
My life's path What glory like mine	U
Their crime is most black and most heinous	K
They live on the right of the Rhine '	-
	-
'For Rosbach and Waterloo vengeance '	-
The cry maddens the heart and the brain	V
Men long for the fierce glow of battle	H
And the blood that is poured forth like rain	V
	-
In peace we could drink from the fountains	K
Or calmly repose in the shade	W
But our brethren in battle to slaughter	I
Is a pleasure which never will fade	W
	-
The lust for blood spilling incites us	K
To rush madly o'er valleys and plains	K
The vanquished are crying in terror	I
And are clasping our swift horses' manes	K
	-
And yet I ask sometimes in wonder	I
As I wander the meadows among	X
Can brother for brother feel hatred	Y
As he hears the lark's musical song	Z
