Inspired by the poem "God" by Isaac Rosenburg.

lyrics

The air is loud with death,the dark sky burns with fire,
The explosions ceaseless, the dead hang on the wire
A man’s brains splattered on another soldier’s face
The sky rains iron, fear chokes your veins

Chorus
Dark Earth! Dark Heavens!
We are born to die

The thundering line of battle, artillery moans and sings
Another rifle rattles, another soldier screams
Burn of chemical smoke, makes death obscene
Pray that your final blow, comes quick and comes clean

Chorus

Helpless, among the living and the dead
All are changed, a terrible beauty born.
Hopeless, for dying we are bred
Born dead to suffer god’s scorn

The air is loud with death, the dark sky burns with fire,
The explosions ceaseless, the dead hang on the wire
Name after name, you question why they died
Born in his image? Then god has lied!

Dark Earth, Dark Heaven
We are born to a rotting god!
