O Fritz Haber! O Fritz Haber! rise up and see the starving masses;
For you, a challenge to bring nitrogen to the land —for you the Nobel Peace Prize in hand;
For you they call, your genius mind, your fertilizer, oh so grand;
Here Fritz Haber!! Dear Savior!
Your invention created in your head;
Turned biochemical warfare,
Millions fallen cold and dead.
Fritz Haber! Human life has no measure;
Fritz Haber has no morale, appeasing the Reich has its pleasure;
The treaties in place, you ignore and break;
Your biochemical warfare leaves death in its wake;
Fritz Haber, your fertilizer delivers life; yet you give other gases.
But many, with mournful dread,
your legacy,
saves and yet leaves others dead.
