They crossed the border and took them away, 

There was no trace of them the next day. 

Their arms were tied, their legs were bound,

Till what escaped them was no sound. 

They claimed it was for the greater good, 

That they had killed, proud they stood. 

Proud they shouldn't, for they had sinned, 

Alongside them, the devil grinned.
