Between the crosses, row on row
As they went up to die
In foul dugouts, anguished by rats
Startled by the moving tides
They marched in fateful fellowship
A certain cure for bloodlust
They saw a thousand Christ go by
For what is dead they'll hardly fight
Bursting gas shells ringing
While birds still bravely singing

Sane insanity
Sane insanity

Where hate throbs out in endless pain
Flash revealed the toxic rain
This war is justified with sane insanity
When death returns with scary shades
Dying heroes' senseless deeds
This war is justified with sane insanity

At some disputed barricades
A rendezvous with death
Merciless retribution
Countless rounds in heads and chests
Where love gets lost in blissful sleep
On frightful slopes of battered hills
The iron storm tears bloody wounds
We can't escape the pack of hounds
The armistice rejected
Decay in our trenches

Sane insanity
Sane insanity

Where hate throbs out in endless pain
Flash revealed the toxic rain
This war is justified with sane insanity
When death returns with scary shades
Dying heroes' senseless deeds
This war is justified with sane insanity

Between the crosses, row on row
As they went up to die

Where hate throbs out in endless pain
Flash revealed the toxic rain
This war is justified with sane insanity
When death returns with scary shades
Dying heroes' senseless deeds
This war is justified with sane insanity
