Nanking |
| Sadistic soldiers of the rising sun |
| 1937's when the rape had begun |
| The ancient city fell under imperial rule |
| By an engine of war and lust, savage and cruel |
| Assembly line efficiency of killing machines |
| Unbridled fury of the sick and obscene |
| Systematic sexual degredation |
| The more perverse the greater exaltation |
| Nowhere to hide |
| Nowhere to run |
| They turned the waters of the Yangtze red with blood |
| Cast aside |
| And brutalized |
| Terrific horror made to terrorize |
| Bestial and violent |
| Six weeks of suffering |
| So black was the day |
| They marched through the gates |
| Their fate was beckoning |
| Tanks ran over men nailed to boards |
| Decapitations with an officer’s sword |
| Gang rape of women, both the young and the old |
| Frozen to death in waters ice cold |
| Disembowelment, some are buried alive |
| Suicide’s preferred for those who survive |
| The stench of corpses everywhere in the streets |
| Dogs feast on the rotting meat |
| Nowhere to hide |
| Nowhere to run |
| They turned the waters of the Yangtze red with blood |
| Cast aside |
| And brutalized |
| Terrific horror made to terrorize |
| Bestial and violent |
| Six weeks of suffering |
| So black was the day |
| They marched through the gates |
| Their fate was beckoning |
| It was the rape of nanking |
| Solo Lee Altus |
| Thousands forced into prostitution |
| So many years and still no restitution |
| The carnage of Carthage so easily outdone |
| Add all the blood you get 1200 tons |
| Massacre removed from history books |
| No mention of men hung from iron hooks |
| All counter to the rules of war |
| They made a city an army’s whore |
| Nowhere to hide |
| Nowhere to run |
| They turned the waters of the Yangtze red with blood |
| Cast aside |
| And brutalized |
| Terrific horror made to terrorize |
| Bestial and violent |
| Six weeks of suffering |
| So black was the day |
| They marched through the gates |
| Their fate was beckoning |
| It was the rape of nanking |
