An absurd order given
Sheer astonishment
Organize new defense lines
With shattered regiments
Fight to the last bullet
Never to withdraw
Apprpval of the death sentence
Berlins will is law
Rejcting the final ultimatum
All forbiden to negotiate
A threatening ilquidation of an army
Still refusing to capitulate
Leading their men to contine the fight
Comfortable generals in warm barracks
In the open fields their soldiers die
Blood on filthy hands
Insanity commands
Recuruiting the starving and the crippled
Crimping the wounded and the diseased
Executing the looting amputated
Closing cruel eyes for their infamy
Praising the emaciated faces
Lots of decorations but no bread
Frozen human flesh amongst the tuins
Cannibals consume the butning dead
A pathos of treason
Blood on filthy heands
Till the last convulsion
Insanity commands
