"Krieg" (War) by the versatile artist Kurt Holes. The poem vividly paints a grim picture of conflict, utilizing stark imagery like a "screaming night" and a burning sky to establish a catastrophic mood. Central themes revolve around absolute devastation, the loss of innocence ("Leiden uns're Träume"), and an inescapable sense of finality, emphasized by phrases like "peace shatters" and "everything lost." The repetition of the central conflict declaration, "Krieg bricht aus," along with the persistent motif of a "heart of stone" and the relentless hail of bullets, underscores the song's intense focus on the brutal, unapologetic nature of war and the crushing despair it leaves in its wake.
