MG08
03:10
|
|||
From the trenches, they emerge
Flames and smoke, a shroud of dirge
The firestorm, a demonic flare
A ceaseless splatter of blood
Screams resound through the wasteland
As she spits her wrath
The hellish machine gun gleams
with a demonic light
Above trenches deep
A firestorm rages
Here terror reigns
MG08!
Beneath the shattered sky
Their world is consumed
Bodies torn asunder
MG08!
Hear the vicious roar
Of the German beast
Instrument of death
MG08!
The cold finger of the gunner
Mercilessly pressing down
A thousand foolish souls
Taken by surprise
With a violent spurt of flames
Flesh and bone is sliced
Leaving victims shredded
Their worthless lives no more

Flood of Retaliation
03:34
|
|||
Boots upon the treaty
marching over Belgian land
The iron rain of shrapnel fallsand cleanses the soil
Repulsion for mankindflesh and soul erode
No hope for redemption
where steel fouls the ground
Penetrate with blazing heat - Obliterate - Violate
Burn their houses - shoot the men
Murder and rape these weakened lands
Penetrate with blazing heat - Obliterate - Violate
Burn their houses - Shoot the men
Crush their peace - We are the hammer of hate
With broken spirits and crooked backs, condemned to the battle
Unaware of the coming attack, blinded and betrayed
A storm of steel will bring
an iron harvest
Bloody fist of pure savagery
The grim primordial law
Flood of Retaliation
The weak are beaten
Flood of retaliation
In a ceremony of despair
Boots upon the treaty
the tyrant and his prey
Blank eyes in torn faces
corpses adrift in the barren fields
The iron rain of shrapnel falls
in its wake death descends
No hope for redemption
where steel fouls the ground

Revel in Brutality
04:43
|
|||
Blood on the soil, screams in the night
The sound of death, a true delight
Flames of hate, burning bright
Raped and tortured, rage knows no bounds
A dark shadow falls upon the land
A withered nation cursed and damned
Tormented cries of the innocent
Their worthless tears a gruesome token
Humanity torn apart
The foul scent of death
As blackened hearts
Revel in brutality
The evil within
A scar on the world
All watch in silence
... in vain
Hear the shrieks of a thousand souls
As they're slaughtered, burned and sold
Hostile knives cut deep into the flesh
In the land of ancient kings
Women and children forced to witness
As their loved ones are torn apart
Here where death and darkness sings
Innocent souls, massacred, and purged
Horrid screams resound through history
A grim echo of what we can be
Yet the darkness lingers on and on
As the eternal wailing of the slaughtered

Ruins of Kowel
04:18
|
|||
No nation will stand for eternity
And silently dies with its sons
Wastefully meeting their doom
The future dies in the present
Wave upon wave of Russian flesh
A violent, relentless torrent of despair
The wails of the wounded echoed
Hear their final screams
Their bodies lay scattered and broken
A pitiful existence drowned in death
Half a million ripped to shreds
A battlefield overflowing with blood
Death was sown with such ease
Killing all foolish enough to stand
The scent of blood and sweat
Austrian guns resounding ceaselessly
Human suffering; unbearable
Amidst the ruins of Kowel in 1916

We, the Inhumane
04:14
|
|||
Scarred and beaten in hollow earth
thousands drown in rancid soil
their prayers to the morning light
pathetic urge for pity
Hear the whispers of the damned
drenched in sinister fog
In the reflection of a starless sky
We became a blaze
imbued with the bliss of death
carnage, bloodshed and tyranny
Scourge of the world
we ... the inhumane
Broken they rot in hollow earth
thousands drown in rancid soil
prayers to their redeemer
perished in agony
Black clouds fill the sky - a bitter fate
shadows dance on the ashes - flesh and bones are alight
and bright we shine - as we poison the light
humanity trembles - damned - night after night
Hate prevails with violent might
frenzied lust for bloodshed
imbued with the bliss of death
Within this maze we eternally - reign ...

6. |
||||
With maps and plans and endless gore
The world now trembles with fear
The drums of war beat loud and clear
The saber's edge must now be bled
And so we march, our boots trample
The foreign soil, where blood is damped
The sounds of guns, the screams of pain
Resound through fields, no hope remains
|

Forced March
03:51
|
|||
Through the trenches and the mud
A tablet to spur the blood
With persistance we fight
Cocaine pills - our might!
Forced March, our guiding light
Our strength in the darkest night
Forced March, our savior
Our victory, forever.
The screams and shots abound
An iron will shall resound
Knife to the mind, dagger to the soul
It truly brings a haunting toll
As the rumbling voice of death surrounds us
our eyes are burning cold
We are the relentless, the unstoppable
we will never fold

Mud and Rain
04:12
|
|||
In the mud we trudgeunder death’s reign
Bodies entombed
by the bloody terrain
The trenches now our home
and the gas our fate
As we slowly die
in this dreadful place
In the mud and rain
We fight for this land
Amidst the barbed wire
We make our final stand
Our comrades fallone by one
As we cling to hopeand pray for dawn
Barbed wire surrounds us
a never-ending maze
Our courage fades
in this endless haze
Bloodshed and tragedy, this is our reality
In this endless war, we suffer in agony
As we fight for our lives, in trench warfare
Our souls slowly escape, into the dark and despair.
In the trenches we lay
Waiting for our fate
As the bombs rain down
Sealing our dark fate
In the mud and rain,
We fight for this land
Amidst the barbed wire
We make our final stand

Silent Witnesses
04:13
|
|||
My sacrifice for a cause divine
Dying surrounded by thousands
Yet in absolute solitude
On this foreign soil my blood spills
My maimed mortal body is torn away
I embrace my gruesome fate
Empty lifeless eyes stare to the sky
An eternal soul awaits judgement
I died far from home
No church bells tolled
Relatives nor friends
Stood by my dreary grave
My lone body committed
To the blood soaked earth
Only witnessed by those
in the silent veil of death
In this forsaken place I decay
Buried in an unmarked grave
Without even a cross or stone
Destined to be forgotten in time
These bones long for the fatherland
To be united once again with kin
A soldier lost in this endless war
Deserted by God, remembered by none

A Pounding Death
05:07
|
|||
The gates of the west will break
We crush the weak for the angel of death to feast
Hammering down - A pounding death
The stench of decay will rise again
A pale wind spreads its wings
Corrosive smoke devours all
Our mighty banner overlooking the troops
like an eagle stalking its prey
A pounding death
A pounding death
Unquenchable thirst for human dread
No hope, only despair in Europe's head
The seeds of war were planted
on these fields of harrowing sight
Rise from ruin and rusted steel
Like echoes of death for a fate to seal
A shadowplay of death and hate
Summoned by the shadows - We bring your doom
Merciless artillery destroying the balance of power
Scourge of the western front
Rise from ruin - and rusted - steel
like echoes of death for a fate to seal
A pounding death
A pounding death to all

Mörser
04:52
|
|||
From the depths of hell it rose,
The siege howitzer, its power disclosed,
In the trenches, it wreaked havoc and death,
The enemy quivered, with every breath.
In the wind and rain, it stood proud,
A weapon of destruction, the enemy vowed,
To flee in terror, from its deadly aim,
As the howitzer roared, with eternal flame.
Born for war, bred for chaos and death
Forced to feed on the flesh and blood
It hungers, it thirsts, it never rests
The Mörser unleashed upon the world
Through the smoke and haze, it stood tall
The long-range artillery, a master of all
From afar it sent its lethal gifts
Devouring the enemy like a merciless beast.
With each shot the earth would quake
The devil's wrath, a fearsome display
As the war raged on it never failed
To bring misery bloodshed and eternal wail
The shells of death, raining down hard,
Reducing men to flesh and shards.
The battlefield, a sea of red,
As the howitzer leaves its deadly tread.
The gunners work with ruthless speed,
Their aim so true, their mission to feed.
The horrible roar, a symphony of pain,
As the enemy falls, victim to its reign.
