A long ago in eastern Prussia

Young men with great ambitions rise

So who can tell me who can say for sure

It was a golden age for science

And as the conflict came and tensions rose

Fed the world by ways of science

Flow over no man's land, a poisonous nightmare

And in the trenches of the western front

Unknowing soldiers pay the price

And on the battlefield they're dying

And on the fields the crops are grown

So who can tell us what is right or wrong
