(1989 - Music: Lanfranchi M. - Lyrics: D´Ambrosio S.)

The cold wind blows from the arctic lands

in the pale light of dawn the legions prepare to fight.

Now the commanders order the attack

and the warriors ride to meet victory or death.

Chorus:

Metal hail from the sky

gods of war take their tool.

So many bodies lie under the banner

warriors fight all day long....

The sun slowly sets on the battlefield

where friends and foes

lie in the cold embrace of death.

Now I wonder for what cause we have fought

when the battle is over, and there's no man alive.

Chorus:

So I think that war is madness,

a cruel game for the insane.

Violence and destruction are burning the earth

when all this will end?

The road to home is long and hard,

but once arrived I'll be repaid of my pain with honour, glory and wealth.

After many days I see the walls of my city,

the city for which we have fought,

the city for which my friends have fell.

I'm back to meet the glory,

I have to meet my honour.

But once passed beyond the threshold,

no one remembers who I am.

I tell my name, they call me coward

cause they think that I have run away.

They call me a deserter, who hasn't fought for his homeland

for me there's no glory,

what will give a reason to my life?

It has been an illusion!

it has been all useless!

it's just illusion!.
