    Lyrics
    I. THE SO-CALLED “NEW” WAR

    Workday – On radio implausible news
    Joking – This can’t be – It’s not a satire
    Home then – TV – Let’s see what it was
    A new beacon for those who deny that
    The world is a tree with many beautiful branches
    To taste its various fruits offers numberless chances
    To learn from our fullness could be what we exist for
    But the trunk reels under the blade of a saw

    Its cruelty is devastating - War its greatest stimulation
    A war that knows no aim nor bounds - As any
    I’m happy to sing this song to digest my topical incompetence
    So I can pretend that I care though I defend myself through ignorance

    The world is a tree with many beautiful branches
    To taste its various fruits offers numberless chances
    To learn from our fullness could be what we exist for
    But the trunk reels under the blade of the worldsaw
    Go!
    Lay your neck under it!

    II. IGNORANCE AS SELF-DEFENCE

    The shavings reach up to my knees
    However my boots reach higher
    I just stand motionless and wonder
    You see our features are of wax
    Stretched on a cold and heartless rack
    Accept it as a virtue - Don’t ever let pity burn on you
    World saws
    The shavings reach up to my face
    You see my face is made of wax
    I just stand motionless and gaze - As it attacks
    As it attacks

    III. DER MENSCH MIT SICH ALLEIN (instr.)

    IV. CRUSADE

    War!

    Its cruelty is devastating - Hate its best gratification
    A hatred without aim and bound - As any
    Its cruelty is everlasting – Hate the Alpha and Omega
    So lecherous to divide
    So lecherous to divide the globe

    Revenge – In “God’s country” soon dies a Sikh
    Hateblind – The stripes shine in white and blood-red
    When bombing is justice and peanut butter bread
    The ordinariness of the senseless is (almost) back
    Only its shades of red have increased

    Heyday – All worlds forced by war lunacy
    Herd to the pasture - This way it must be
    The ground will be ploughed and the seed will be sown
    And no one will ever find a reason to doubt that
    The world is a tree with many beautiful branches
    To taste its various fruits offers numberless chances
    To learn from our fullness could be what we exist for
    But the trunk reels under the blade of a saw.
