The Monster we believed a MYTH has
risen from the dead.
He calls himself the Kaiser, but his
savage claw is red
With blood Of little children, and HE
brutal hordes commit
The hellish deed that's nameless. which
which no human would permit.
We know him by his stifiling breath.
this dragon in his lair,
His spawn, the shark beneath the wave
the vulture in the air.
The military despot is not new IN his
tory;
The ancient nations ached beneath the
lash of tyranny.
Old Attila, the Mongol. and bloody Jen-
ghiz Kahn.
And Redbeard Barbarossa, the German
super-man.
Napoleon the Corsican, and Charles the
Fifth Of Spain.
And Philip in the Netherlands afflicted
earth with pain.
They terrorized the world and died,
accused Of man and God.
And Kaiser wilhelm's on the road that
every tyrant's trod.
Gird up your loins, Kentuckians. and
buckle on your shields.
A million French and English lie on
Freedoms battefelds
You are the sons of Washington. Of
Lincoln. Grant and Lee,
heart pumps thru your
veins the blood Of liberty.
Your Alma Mater bids you now swift
speed across the sea
To strike this Minotsur of Hell for
world Democracy.
The final struggle now Is on, as they
may read who run.
The Slav, the Saxon and the Celt, |
against the awful Hun.
The sky is like the midnight sun. the
earth is like a flood.
For all along the battle front there
flows a stream of blood.
crimson stream of valiant blood,
and weltering in that tide
IRE Washington and Lafayette and
Cromwell side by side.
.eonidas now holds the pass. Rienzi
stands at bay.
md Israel has seized the sword to save
the Russian day.
md smite to utter death this beast
for God and Liberty,
