Could be that the the columns which halt here
That these endless rows of men
are scattered in the wind, split up and disperse
and will desert me, could be, could be
my lips may stammer mad words
but the flag will only fall when I fall
and be a shroud, covering my corpse
Obedience unto death - never to fall aside
forever to stride
on deaths wings they ride
We must be dominated by one will
we must form one unity
we must be held together by one discipline
and form one obedience
