Can you hear the war cry?
|
It's time to enlist
|
The people speak as one
|
The cattle, the crowd
|
Those too afraid to live
|
Demand a sacrifice
|
Of your life
|
|
Can you smell their stinking breath?
|
Listen to them
|
Wheezing and gasping and
|
Chanting their slogans
|
It's a grave digger's song
|
Praising God & State
|
So the Nation will live
|
So we all can remain as cattle
|
|
[extra lyrics from Flipper's version]:
|
Can you smell the fresh blood
|
Steaming into the soil?
|
As our patriots,
|
Fathers, mothers and lovers
|
Admire the military style
|
Praising God and the State
|
Crying tears of pride
|
For all the fools slaughtered
|
For the maimed, the dying
|
And the dead
|
So the Nation will live
|
So the people will remain as cattle
|
