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
