02. Storm Of Steel
Another gory carnival beckons
Going through shredded wire entanglements Attack through dense rifle fire Over the edge into the trench - storm of steel Iron splinters battering down on our heads Wade through a storm of steel Shots exchanged at point blank range Dying in a storm of steel Human sacrifice On enemy soil In the grip of rage On the brink of death A full battle-strength company going down To a few demoralized men Feeling completely apathetic Our rage broke down like a storm My eyes are drenched with blood Bleeding to death in a murderous sector of trench Behind crimson surging clouds Hear the echoing cry of war - storm of steel Immense desire to destroy Inflamed by berserk fury Corpses lying all around In this apocalyptic scene Human sacrifice On enemy soil In the grip of rage On the brink of death Iron splinters battering down on our heads Wade through a storm of steel Shots exchanged at point blank range Dying in a storm of steel Storm of steel 03. Fire Storm
Shells of shrapnel flying over our heads
Fountains of mud pile up to the sky Atrocious artillery fire Creating a colossal wall of flame Rattling machine guns Spewing fire like mad machines Thunderous roaring Bombs looping high up in the air Shells falling down in the trenches Soldiers collapse in a bloody heap Fire storm Incredible massing of forces In the hour of destiny To fight for a distant future And the violence it unleashed The clouds of our gas shells beaten back by a headwind Overwhelmed by the blunt force, a raging fire-storm This place looks grisly Scattered around this scorched site are bodies Burned beyond recognition Shells of shrapnel flying over our heads Fountains of mud pile up to the sky Atrocious artillery fire Creating a colossal wall of flame Rattling machine guns Spewing fire like mad machines Thunderous roaring Bombs looping high up in the air Shells falling down in the trenches Soldiers collapse in a bloody heap Fire storm Incredible massing of forces In the hour of destiny To fight for a distant future And the violence it unleashed 04. The Killing Is Faceless
Bombardments pulverising trenches
Soldiers ripped to pieces Or buried underneath the earth All must die - the killing is faceless Hammering the enemy Heavy casualties Clinging to a death trap Never cease fire Continuous assaults Artillery bombardments Infantry shock tactics Artillery positions Firing down the hill Heading for disaster Marching on and on Through an endless field of craters The shelling remains relentless Human remains hanging in tree branches Fighting in fortified graveyards All must die - the killing is faceless Stormtroopers lead the attack Thrown into combat, no turning back Flamethrowers clear the trenches Fight for your country, die without glory Struggling onward wade through mud No breakthrough, counter attack Mission impossible, all hope is lost Fight for your country, die without glory Bombardments pulverising trenches Soldiers ripped to pieces Or buried underneath the earth All must die - the killing is faceless Hammering the enemy Heavy casualties Clinging to a death trap Never cease fire Continuous assaults Artillery bombardments Infantry shock tactics Artillery positions Firing down the hill Heading for disaster Marching on and on Through an endless field of craters Stormtroopers lead the attack Thrown into combat, no turning back Flamethrowers clear the trenches Fight for your country, die without glory Struggling onward wade through mud No breakthrough, counter attack Mission impossible, all hope is lost Fight for your country, die without glory The shelling remains relentless Human remains hanging in tree branches Fighting in fortified graveyards All must die - the killing is faceless 05. Under The Sign Of The Iron Cross
Born of arrogance
Conceived from a plan millenniums ago Tactical supremacy The seeds of disaster already in the plan No more loyalty Strike hard, kill fast and claim the victory Defeat the enemy In an all out war The enemies are overrun We'll force them to their knees Behold the master plan We'll force them to their knees Evade the stalemate Sweep the country in a decisive blow Provoke the enemy Out of their defense and destroy them all at once Invading armies Crush the enemy with a massive strike All hail to the emperor Under the sign of the iron cross For my country here is my master plan We will overrun the west, then take the east No two front war, we can only take them one by one "A man if born and not made a strategist" They have chosen me to be the mastermind For God and empire this is my master plan The enemies are overrun We'll force them to their knees Behold the master plan We'll force them to their knees Born of arrogance Conceived from a plan millenniums ago Tactical supremacy The seeds of disaster already in the plan No more loyalty Strike hard, kill fast and claim the victory All hail to the emperor Under the sign of the iron cross 06. Chaos Reigns At Dawn
Bloodthirsty eyes
Lying in wait Behind rifles and machine guns In the dead land Fighting, raging, killing Take no prisoners No living soul in the wasteland We want no prisoners The guns ahead fall silent Defenders have been finished off The ground is littered with corpses Chaos reigns at dawn Hovering clouds of choking yellow gas Drifting slowly about Death is spreading around There where the wind blows No air left to breathe Emerging from clouds of dust and smoke Shock troopers appear, from the front line Feel no dread of approaching death Chaos reigns at dawn Phosphor shells explode Men rolling on the ground Desperate horror Unable to quench the flames The wounded are wailing around Crying for help Pale faces staring into the eyes of death Bloodthirsty eyes Lying in wait Behind rifles and machine guns In the dead land Fighting, raging, killing Take no prisoners No living soul in the wasteland We want no prisoners The guns ahead fall silent Defenders have been finished off The ground is littered with corpses Chaos reigns at dawn Hovering clouds of choking yellow gas Drifting slowly about Death is spreading around There where the wind blows No air left to breathe Emerging from clouds of dust and smoke Shock troopers appear, from the front line Feel no dread of approaching death Chaos reigns at dawn 07. Through Byzantine Hemispheres
Beast in the east
Cross the frontiers As a cure for the pain They reclaim their lands Harsh winter conditions Poorly equipped men Rebel militia fighting For both sides Massacres conducted on local population Occupational forces committing ethnic cleansing Masses of men collide In a fight over dead land The puppets on the front line Their ignorance is used for a lost cause Through Byzantine Hemispheres Masses of men collide In a fight over dead land The puppets on the front line Their ignorance is used for a lost cause Through Byzantine Hemispheres Beast in the east Cross the frontiers As a cure for the pain They reclaim their lands Massacres conducted on local population Occupational forces committing ethnic cleansing 08. The Red Baron
Ace of aces
Emerging from the sun Spraying bullets Go down under his guns Red Baron Eagle in disguise Red Baron Death across the sky Wing commander Diving from above Master of dogfights Unmatched in victories Living legend You cannot die War propaganda We need you alive Red Baron Eagle in disguise Red Baron Death across the sky Red Baron Eagle in disguise Red Baron Death across the sky Living legend You cannot die War propaganda We need you alive Red Baron Eagle in disguise Red Baron Death across the sky Ace of aces Emerging from the sun Spraying bullets He went down under the guns 09. On Fields Of Death & Desolation
The shelling is waxing to a demented fury
Soldiers buried alive, swallowed by the earth Out of the haze, a dense line of men Begins to approach over corpse strewn roads Gigantic roaring of innumerable guns The wave of fire has moved up to the first lines Decisive battle, the last charge is here The great moment's at hand Join our march for victory Over enemy soil Affect the course of destiny For my king and my land The earth is raped And sown with dead Ruined beyond recognition The madness never ends Trapped in their trenches, they've got nowhere to run Declining resistance, they're falling one by one Outnumbered and wounded, they await their final blow With bajonets on our rifles we hunt them down Join our march for victory Over enemy soil Affect the course of destiny For my king and my land The earth is raped And sown with dead Ruined beyond recognition The madness never ends The war is over, the killings' done All hail to those who joined our march for victory The fields are empty, the souls are gone Of those who lie on fields of death and desolation A kingdom gone, all hail to them We gave their lives for fields of death and desolation |
