They went to war, their hearts were full of love The sun went down and the the sky turned red The black birds drew long shadows into the innocent hearts The moon rose and the men begun to freeze
So, come on soldier fight And slay these people You don´t know their names
If you lift up your eyes, you will see the pals lying around And you will wish you would lie there among them In the wide and endless fields of the white crosses of the heroes You can wipe the tears away But there will be Thousands of tears again
So, come on soldier go And die for these people You don’t know their names You don’t know for whom you must fight And don’t know why you must die
So, come on soldier don’t waste yourself See the children follow them and find your way home
