The battlefields crossed the world
Suez, Flanders, the Dardenelles, Tannenberg, Africa, Asia
1914-1918
Sarajevo to Versailles
Tear gas, machine guns, ditches, airplanes, poison gas, tanks
Death in a thousand fields Gallipoli, Verdun, the Somme
The slaughter.
Nation's will, Emperor's greed, Man's strength versus an industry geared to blood
Now empire's gone
Although will millions of yooung men and women
The War to End all Wars.
If only for one day
