on the cross to bear the LORD
anointed king adorn the crowns
thorny led disgust to hatred
path in passion divine to change
emerged on top one race in rubble
and cut through fog his nation's might
the dunes traversed and camps installed
---
robed white truth in peace screams war
necessity claims an axe that grinds
the SWORD through desert to high peaks cuts
saved by deeds not words told by muds
---
a blood-stained time in eternity rolled
the corpse on earth now silent and cold
(above in the spheres a breed of another mold
winged with anger to vanquish the too bold)
---
in the garden's new dawn a life-line to purify
(one drop the seed teeming the multitude
monolithic in design the glory divine)
and with coercion and force the horned to defy
(that hand-wringing and rabid always lie and cry)
---
39 lashes endured in honor of defense
(anticipating the army ready and tense)
to bury satan's breed in a deep steep hole
(and whack the snitch the traitor the mole!)
---
(come in under the shadow of the cross)
"gott mit uns" the clan will follow
from sea to shining sea
(to the stars and unto heaven)
---
hail the pale and tell the tale!
- Constantin von Hoffmeister
