Panzerchrist - Infants’ Graves lyrics
[Panzerchrist - Infants’ Graves lyrics]
Where Earth's brightest gems
Of innocence repose
God is their parent, and they need no tear
He takes them to His bosom from earth's woes
A bud their lifetime and a flower their close
Their spirit's are an iris
Needing no prayers, a sunset's happy
Gone are the bright rays of their eyes
And the sun smiled to show their end was well
Infants have to weep for here they die
All prayers are needless
Beads they need not tell
White flowers their mourners are
Their passing bell
And the sun smiled to show their end was well
Infants have to weep for here they die
Their lives were nothing but a shower
Melting away tears from the eye
Their deaths were dew-drops
On Heaven's bower
And tolled on Summer gales
They bowed and trembled
And they left no sigh
Christ, Thy name is Panzer!
