Father

A long ago in eastern Prussia
 Young men with great ambitions rise
 So who can tell me who can say for sure
 Which one will win the Nobel Prize?
 It was a golden age for science
 The kaiserreich would hold the key
 And as the conflict came and tensions rose
 The manifest of the 93
 Haber-Bosch, the great alliance
 Where's the contradiction?
 Fed the world by ways of science
 Sinner or a saint?
 Father of toxic gas, and chemical warfare
 His dark creation has been revealed
 Flow over no man's land, a poisonous nightmare
 A deadly mist on the battlefield
 "Perversions of ideals of science"
 Lost words of alienated wife
 And in the trenches of the western front
 Unknowing soldiers pay the price
 And on the battlefield they're dying
 And on the fields the crops are grown
 So who can tell us what is right or wrong
 Maths or morality alone?
 Haber-Bosch, the great alliance
 Where's the contradiction?
 Fed the world by ways of science
 Sinner or a saint?
 Father of toxic gas, and chemical warfare
 His dark creation has been revealed
 Flow over no man's land, a poisonous nightmare
 A deadly mist on the battlefield
 Father of toxic gas, and chemical warfare
 His dark creation has been revealed
 Flow over no man's land, a poisonous nightmare
 A deadly mist on the battlefield
 ♪
 During times when there's peace he belonged to the world
 ♪
 During times when there's war he belonged to his place of birth
 ♪
 Where, will this lead? What's coming next?
 From your inventions?
 We wonder where, where does it end?
 Who can foresee, see what will be?
 Haber-Bosch, the great alliance
 Where's the contradiction?
 Fed the world by ways of science
 Sinner or a saint?
 Father of toxic gas, and chemical warfare
 His dark creation has been revealed
 Flow over no man's land, a poisonous nightmare
 A deadly mist on the battlefield
 Father of toxic gas, and chemical warfare
 His dark creation has been revealed
 Flow over no man's land, a poisonous nightmare
 A deadly mist on the battlefield
