12. Nineteenth Century Finality
Nineteen hundred and it rains fire and blood,
Fast filling up hell and the grave;
A million lives trampled in the gory mud,
They kill to kill--killing to save.
Fast filling up hell and the grave;
A million lives trampled in the gory mud,
They kill to kill--killing to save.
Great wars fought for paradise by the lost,
Hark! Widows' cries and orphans' wails!
God of Love! Pierce our hearts with cold death frost!
Crown Jesus Christ a stone, God Baal!
Hark! Widows' cries and orphans' wails!
God of Love! Pierce our hearts with cold death frost!
Crown Jesus Christ a stone, God Baal!
The love of God for man defied him,
The gentiles glorified his name.
The Roman and the Jew crucified him,
Science covers his love with shame.
The gentiles glorified his name.
The Roman and the Jew crucified him,
Science covers his love with shame.
