about

"War does not decide who is right, only who is left"

lyrics

Achtung
Artillerie!
Explosive fury
Appendages spot the mud.
Fixed bayonet
Anoint with blood
Iron cross
Iron sons degloved.
Faceless men
Hollowed eyes
Famished bodies
Charge the trench and die.

Shattered corpses fill the smoking field
Grey and blue adorns the wire,
A young man sprints into the hell
Only to succumb to vicious fire.
Screaming they cry so loud before they die
Of lives that cannot ever be.
Eyes front, incoming attack
Human waves as far as I can see.

Here
They
Come
Hold the line
Fire!
Push them back or red becomes
All I see, kill thy enemy
No mercy, no reprieve.
Walking death, kill thy enemy
Hollow faces and shattered dreams.

Iron cross
Soaked in blood
Bitter end, bitter loss.
Filled with hate - crushing guilt
Foolish self, loss of will.
Steady aim
It all stands still.
Time is gone
Am I in hell?

Cycle bolt.
Hold.
Take aim.
Control.
Time moves
So slow.

Shattered corpses fill the smoking field
Grey and blue adorns the wire.
Bodies splattered like roaches under foot
As the earth swelters under fire.
A sweet smell is twirling in the air
Amongst the stench of heavy iron.
Soaking wet but not of rain
As my comrades fall unto the wires.
Great sadness I have come to learn
The only peace in war is death,
And that great pleasure is reserved
For those who lay amongst the dead.
