Kriegspiel

A knight strikes into another square
With all his might, but there is no one there
Tell me once more: Who are we really fighting for?

A pawn falls to an invisible hand
He is swept off the board, and then the game is on again
Tell me once more: Who are we really fighting for?

A break. Cigars. A friendly word between gentlemen
Then the game goes on as long as there are pawns to spend

Tell me once more: Who are we really fighting?
Tell me once more: Who are we really fighting?
And tell me once more: Who are we really fighting for?
