Sacrifice

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
They demand a sacrifice
They demand a sacrifice

Can you smell their stinking breath?
Listen to them
Wheezing and gasping and
Chanting their slogans
It's the gravedigger's song
Demanding a sacrifice
Demanding a sacrifice
Demanding a sacrifice
Of your life
A sacrifice
Of your life

Can you see the fresh blood?
Steaming into the soil
As our patriots
Fathers, mothers and lovers
Admire the military style
Praising God and 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
They demand a sacrifice
They demand a sacrifice
Of your life
They demand a sacrifice
They demand a sacrifice
Of your life
They demand a sacrifice
A sacrifice
Of your life
A sacrifice

They want your life
Sacrifice
