Kameradschaft

are you close to
or far from your conscience?
as the petals of life
decay
"ignorance is bliss"
the sad remiss
to the clarion call
of today

(see how it burns)

but, we struggle in wyrd with amusement
and, contempt for all that holds
sway
are you close to
or far from your conscience?
is the question I ask
today

(see how they run)

kameradschaft!

are you close to
or far from your conscience?
as their reason for life
fades away
petty beliefs - petty platitudes

all ring hollow day

are you close to
or far from your conscience?
as the blossom of life
drifts away
are you close to
or far from your conscience?
is the question I ask today

kameradschaft!

every angel knows
the congress of liberty
the sadness and smiles
of our memories
with this - we let go
our lady of the snows

kameradschaft!

are you close to
or far from your conscience?
as their meaning in life
dies away
are you close to
or far from your conscience?
the question I ask today

kameradschaft!
