[Verse 1]
 
        Cm
A long ago in eastern Prussia
                               G
Young men with great ambitions rise
           Cm
So who can tell me who can say for sure
               Fm             G
Which one will win the Nobel Prize?
         Cm
It was a golden age for science
                               G
The kaiserreich would hold the key
           Cm                Fm
And as the conflict came and tensions rose
        F#           G
The manifest of the 93
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
Fm                Cm
Haber-Bosch, the great alliance
D#5               A#
Where’s the contradiction?
Fm               Cm
Fed the world by ways of science
D#5          G
Sinner or a saint?

 Cm  Cm    F5          Cm Cm D#5 D5
His dark creation has been revealed
              Cm Cm D5             Cm Cm D#5
Flow over no man’s land, a poisonous nightmare
Cm  Cm   F5         Cm Cm D#5 D5  Cm
A deadly mist on the battlefield
 
[Verse 2]
 
             Cm
“Perversions of ideals of science”
                        G
Lost words of alienated wife
           Cm
And in the trenches of the western front
          Fm                 G
Unknowing soldiers pay the price
           Cm
And on the battlefield they’re dying
                                 G
And on the fields the crops are grown
           Cm               Fm
So who can tell us what is right or wrong
         F#        G
Maths or morality alone?
