When the wheat is under the hail
Who but a fool would
Quibble and
Think of his little quarrels
In the middle of common combat?
The one who believed in heaven
The one who didn‘t
From the height of the citadel
The sentinel shoots twice
One staggers
The other falls
The one who believed in heaven
The one who didn‘t
Now in prison
Which gets the worse cot
Which freezes more
Which likes the rats more?
The one who didn‘t
A rebel is a rebel
Two tears, a single knell
