Rebellion - Vaterland

1864
Danish German War
8000 lives
To build a Reich

10.0 more at Konigsgratz
1866
The German war
Was it worth dying for?

For the fame of the Kaiser
The people lie dead
And Bismarck just smiles
At the wars he has lead

Husbands dead, children forsaken
Hail to thee mein Vaterland
Blut und Eisen. the road taken
Spielt's dem Schnitter in die Hand

1871
Another war was won
Napoleon is to blame
He fell for Bismarck's game

20.0 slain
In blood and in pain
War never gives
It takes all that lives

The Reich then was founded
At war in Versaille
By kings and the nobles
While still soldiers die

The people were not asked
How they want it done
They were just fodder
To feed the war gun

Husbands dead, children forsaken
Hail to thee mein Vaterland
Blut und Eisen, the road taken
Spielt's dem Schnitter in die Hand

Husbands dead, children forsaken
Hail to thee mein Vaterland
Blut und Eisen, the road taken
Spielt's dem Schnitter in die Hand
