If England wins most Jews will say,
That not the Lord but England saved them,
And the gentiles will say the same,
Because I think that the gentiles too,
Will learn something from this war,
Although I don't care about them,
We must nevertheless not forget that they too,
Have lost much in the way of people and property,
The time has come for them to learn,
Something from all the wars they wage,
Especially from the last two world wars,
The victor in this war,
That we are living through,
Will not by either of the opposing sides,
But God, but God,
Not England and not America,
But the Lord of Israel will triumph.
That not the Lord but England saved them,
And the gentiles will say the same,
Because I think that the gentiles too,
Will learn something from this war,
Although I don't care about them,
We must nevertheless not forget that they too,
Have lost much in the way of people and property,
The time has come for them to learn,
Something from all the wars they wage,
Especially from the last two world wars,
The victor in this war,
That we are living through,
Will not by either of the opposing sides,
But God, but God,
Not England and not America,
But the Lord of Israel will triumph.
Original Poem
I hate the way I have died,
Cause I had to protect you,
But I can say that I have tried,
And I know that you will grieve over my death too,
I know that you have some sorrow,
I know I will miss you,
You will end up in the next city tomorrow,
With my best friend Lou,
I hope you two are happy,
Since I'm dead you should be crying,
You should feel a little sappy,
But instead you are dying,
You meant everything to me,
But now i am in the sea.

With my best friend Lou,

But instead you are dying,
You meant everything to me,
But now i am in the sea.
