This song is about the Normandy landings in 1944. It was worth writing about, as it was a pivotal battle in World War II :D
O God of Earth and Altar, Bow down and hear our cry, Our earthly rulers falter, Our people drift and die, The walls of gold entomb us, The swords of scorn divide, Take not thy thunder from us, Take away our pride.
For those interested, I found an excellent translation of this song, with rhymes and the meaning conveyed just as accurately:
Are you for a holy war? Tell me quickly. Tell me, this time where are you, Whose side are you on. Some prophesy a glorious peace, Others – utter hell. And we don't know who of the soldiers Will return home.
Some want to live peacefully, Others – to fight. Some live to love others, Others – to kill. There are hypocrites among us, Sacrilege resembles sin, There are those who live by faith, Exposing lies.
They will not stop the war, For the evil of all non-believers, And there is no end to this carnage, Only God knows why.
And he is in the high heavens, Or maybe in hell. I know that he is somewhere here, But I will not find him. Because I don't know, I don't know, I don't know.
Tell me, what is life, Tell me, what is the meaning of love? Tell me now, why is there war, And tell me about life again.
More and more tears and more and more suffering, And sometimes it seems That no matter how much a person rules, The blind lead the blind. A war that has no end, And hunger in the cities, And our blood, which dries on The hands of religion.
Tell me, what is life, Tell me, what is the meaning of love? Tell me now, why is there war, And tell me about life again.
The living seek the dead, But their ashes have scattered, Bodies that cannot be found, Left in the sands.
Their souls were picked up by the wind, And taken away with it, And somewhere a shot rang out, And a new battle began.
Tell me, what is life, Tell me, what is the meaning of love? Tell me now, why is there war, And tell me about life again.
It is in vain to believe that death Will teach us love, As before, a person will Drown himself in blood.
There are those who on foreign soil Want their own deaths, And the world is tired of crying Over the stupidity of people. But why? Why? Why?
Tell me, what is life, Tell me, what is the meaning of love? Tell me now, why is there war, And tell me about life again.
For the glory of the Lord God, For the glory of the Lord God, For the glory of the Lord God, For the glory of the Lord God.
He sincerely served the faith, And gave his life, For those who later Did not mourn his death. We were all supposed to understand, But it was not meant to be, And can you tell me, Why do we all need war?
O God of Earth and Altar, Bow down and hear our cry, Our earthly rulers falter, Our people drift and die, The walls of gold entomb us, The swords of scorn divide, Take not thy thunder from us, Take away our pride.
