Song language: English
Death of War |
| Ebbing eyesight in chlorine clouds |
| Stealing away barbed wire shrouds |
| Mowed down in mud by machine gun fire |
| Trapped and strangled in barbed wire |
| Silent nights smashed as big guns fill bodies full of shrapnel |
| In their crusade to kill |
| Far away, politicians, glasses of port |
| Meet in a toast to a war they’ve not fought |
| Holy fire directed and idly discussed |
| Manufacturing hatred, engineering distrust |
| Trading clarity for confusion, |
| The ruthless powerlust. |
| Only one thing in common do leaders share |
| With those on the battlefield fallen down everywhere |
| And that is their wine, has good body and it is red |
| Draining away forever like the blood of those dead. |
