r mine own. I taught you how to use God's church, I built the path you trod, I filled your mouth until you claimed, a pardnership with God. I told you tales to tell to men, I coached you every hour Until an egomaniac ran wild, mad with a lust for power. I made an army for you then, the peer of all war lords, I smiled the night you went away to visit Norway fiords. I knew your Bagdad railway schemes, I knew the Austrian claims, I knew that German gold would guide the mad assassin's aims. I knew the schemes that you had planned, the one that nothing curbs, I envied your diplomacy that blamed it on the Serbs. My brain ne'er hatched a finer scheme, your armies marking time And then the rape of Belgium, your premier man-sized crime. And if one deals in hellish schemes, that one must stamp your worth, You made a shambles of that land, you moved hell up on earth.

The world grew sick with wonder, no voice was raised to laud And still you did it in your name, the name of you and God. Where you have trod the world is dead, no sign of life or mirth, You beat me, Bill, you beat my hell, with this of yours on earth. You won hell's admiration and of all of mine own folk When you paired off with the ghastly Turk, that was a master stroke.
