War |
| Tell of the birth |
| Tell how war appeared on earth |
| Thunder and herbs |
| Conjugated sacred verbs |
| Musicians with gongs |
| Fertilised an egg with song |
| Asleep in the sphere |
| Her foetus was a knot of fear |
| She butted with her horn |
| Split an egg and war was born |
| A miracle of hate |
| She banged her spoon against her plate |
| Upon her spoon this motto |
| Wonderfully designed: |
| «Violence completes the partial mind.» |
| Tell of the birth |
| Tell how war appeared on earth |
| Musicians with gongs |
| Fertilised an egg with song |
| She butted with her horn |
| Split an egg and war was born |
| Stacking the bones |
| On the empty aerodrome |
| Tinted turtle green |
| Haunts the slender submarine |
| She shakes her gory locks |
| Over the deserted docks |
| Come follow me |
| Out of dark obscurity |
| Follow my torch |
| Pilgrims at the double march |
| Through meadows and seas |
| Abattoirs and libraries |
| The pilgrims increase |
| Boasting they are led by peace |
| They gut huts with gusto |
| Pillage villages with verve |
| War does what she has to |
| People get what they deserve |
| Upon her spoon this motto |
| Wonderfully designed: |
| «Violence completes the partial mind.» |
