War Wolfe X - July

An heir to a throne
And his wife lay dead
Assassinated for unity
Is what they said
Unacceptable and now
Someone must pay
The Serbians knew about the plot
So there's no way
We'll let them get away with it
Now heads will be rolled
Mobilize the troops
Mobilize this is war
Blood was shed
At this point there will be more
Russia however
Looms large there a threat
Hesitation from Austria-hungary
They must wait
Until they guarantee
Some support from Germany
Germany says attack quick
While we have some sympathy
Meanwhile the Russians
Will support the Serbians
Start mobilizing war
War is on the Horizon
And at this point
Is it surprising
Austria-Hungary
Will draft up an ultimatum
Present it to the Serbs
Without much consideration
On how they will respond
How others will follow
Russia makes it clear
Serbian support isn't hollow
Germany will play dumb
Looking like they didn't know
Austria-Hungary's intention
To escalate no
All throughout the month of July
Tensions grow
It's now a crisis
What will the world have in store
France aligns with Russia
In anticipation
Of the worst happening
Now make that one more nation
Swept up in the drama
That is now unfolding
Britain looks to mediate
Seeing how this is going
But Germany wants Britain
To remain neutral
Britain makes no such promise
It's never that simple
The Serbs are presented the
Ultimatum staunch
They're not given much time
However for response
The Serbians sit and mull over everything
They are seeking revenge
Persecution of the ones involved
And a dampening of their rhetoric
They want their own police to investigate our streets
Dealing their swift justice
They turn to Russia and say they can't agree
Without giving up their substance
As a nation but with that in mind
It seems they capitulate
And Wilhelm of Germany has second thoughts
About war that would just devastate
But it seems in Austria they are dead set
On war they will never ponder
And one can only wonder why their headed there
One can only wonder
Its war on the horizon
In the summer these July nights
Its war Austria-Hungary wants
And every countries drawing their lines
Mobilization full or partial
Military plan thought and drafted
France prepares Russia prepares
The British try to mediate disaster
It's a crisis in July
It's a crisis written in the sky
It was etched on the two bullets that assassinated
The Archduke and his lovely wife
July 27th final preparations made
On the Austrian side
The Serbians also ready to engage
Ready for the coming fight
July 28th 11am
They declare war it was Austria
They declare war other nations will follow
They declared war on Serbia
Then at 1am on the next morning
The first shots of the war fired
Bombadring Belgrade now there's no turning back
But this what they desired
Germany turns to the British to ensure
They will stay in neutrality
But they also made it clear they plan to violate
Belgium and there neutrality
This made it clear to the British
They must ally with Russia and France
As the plot thickens the Austrians are urged
To halt their aggression their advance
But its war on the horizon
In the summer these July nights
It's war Russia start to mobilize and Germany
Responds in kind taking tensions to its heights
Germany decides to mobilize and push towards
Belgium and France
Preliminary but their denied assurances
Safe passage so they will now take a stance
It's a crisis in July
It's a crisis written in the sky
It was etched on the diplomatic correspondences
Between each empire in the fight
Germany declares war on Russia, Belgium, France
Violating Belgium neutrality
Prompting Britain to declare war
On Germany
It's a crisis
It's a world war
It's a
Crisis
Austria-Hungary declares war on Russia
The final piece that's placed in this crisis
It was a crisis now it's a war
Destined to consume
Every nation all across the globe
And it'll bring about doom
It's a Crisis
It's a Crisis
It's a Crisis
It's a Crisis
It's a Crisis
