A long ago in eastern Prussia, young men with great ambitions rise
So who can tell me? Who can say for sure which one will win the Nobel Prize?
It was a golden age for science, the kaiserreich would hold the key
And as the conflict came and tensions rose, the manifest of the '93
Haber-Bosch, the great alliance
Where's the contradiction?
Fed the world by ways of science
Sinner or a saint?
Father of toxic gas, and chemical warfare
His dark creation has been revealed
Flow over no man's land, a poisonous nightmare
A deadly mist on the battlefield
"Perversions of ideals of science", lost words of alienated wife
And in the trenches of the western front, unknowing soldiers pay the price
And on the battlefield they're dying, and on the fields the crops are grown
So who can tell us what is right or wrong, maths or morality alone?
Haber-Bosch, the great alliance
Where's the contradiction?
Fed the world by ways of science
Sinner or a saint?
Father of toxic gas, and chemical warfare
His dark creation has been revealed
Flow over no man's land, a poisonous nightmare
A deadly mist on the battlefield
Father of toxic gas, and chemical warfare
His dark creation has been revealed
Flow over no man's land, a poisonous nightmare
A deadly mist on the battlefield
During times when there's peace, he belonged to the world
During times when there's war, he belonged to his place of birth
Where will this lead?
What's coming next from your inventions?
We wonder where, where does it end
Who can foresee? See what will be
Haber-Bosch, the great alliance
Where's the contradiction?
Fed the world by ways of science
Sinner or a saint?
Father of toxic gas, and chemical warfare
His dark creation has been revealed
Flow over no man's land, a poisonous nightmare
A deadly mist on the battlefield
Father of toxic gas, and chemical warfare
His dark creation has been revealed
Flow over no man's land, a poisonous nightmare
A deadly mist on the battlefield
