To Give And Receive Death
Lyrics: S. Manteuffel

“To give death and to receive death”
To fight and kill, to fight and die
To sow and reap, to laugh or weep
In victory or defeat, where dead bodies lie
 
“To give death and to receive death”
To live by the claw, to die by the claw
To slaughter the enemy, for all life is war
To kill and be killed, to obey the iron law
 
“To give death and to receive death”
With courage and might, with honour and pride
The bloodlust to feel, the power of the steel
To live and finally die within the killing tide
 
“To give death and to receive death”
They fought and killed, fought and died
They sowed and reaped, laughed, never wept
In victory or defeat, where their bodies still lie
 
“To give death and to receive death”
They fought and killed, fought and died
As they sowed and reaped, we laughed and wept
For victory, final defeat, and their memory set alight
