Christians At War

swill, God a-bove is call- ing you to rob and rape and

your acts are sak - Ui - fied by the Lamb on

& high; If you love the Ho - ly Ghost, go mur- der, pray and

Onward, Christian soldiers! Duty's way is plain;

Slay your Christian neighbors, or by them be slain.

Pulpiteers are spouting effervescent swill,

God above is calling you to rob and rape and kill.

All your acts are sanctified by the Lamb on high;

If you love the Holy Ghost, go murder, pray and die.

Onward, Christian soldiers! Rip and tear and smite!

Let the gentle Jesus bless your dynamite.

Splinter skulls with shrapnel, fertilize the sod,

Folks who do not speak your tongue deserve the curse of God.

Smash the doors of every home, pretty maidens seize;

Use your might and sacred right to treat them as you please.

Onward, Christian soldiers! Blighting all you meet,

Trample human freedom under pious feet.

Praise the Lord whose dollar sign dupes his favored race!

Make the foreign trash respect your bullion brand of grace.

Trust in mock salvation, serve as tyrants’ tools;

History will say of you: “That pack of god - damned fools!"
