War!

The battlefield awaits

Another wave to sacrifice

For victory or death.

Between the trenches

The victims wildly charge

Voiceless souls damned to face

Machine-gun wrath

And they fall one by one

Ruthlessly mowed down

Crippled, maimed, torn apart

Bleeding on the ground

War!

The massacre unfolds

Till none has left alive

The enemy awaits another

As we prepare to die

Reek or burning flesh

The chilly air

It poisons my heart

With fear and despair

My shaking cold hands

Grip the loaded gun

All hopes to stay alive

Now are almost gone

Charge! Attack!

Like venomous eruption

We storm the enemy

An act of self-destruction

In blind ferocity

A hail of bleeding flesh

Men dying all around

And hopeiæss to survive

I embrace the ground

Falling down and crawling through the mud

Falling down and crawling through the blood

From the gutted corpses

But I am still alive

As silence calms the night

I creep forth in the haze

With purpose to avenge

Those inside the countless graves

And behold the beast of war

With fire in his eyes

On his throne the battlefield

Built from human lives

A monument of victory

Made for sacrifice

An altar sent from hell

On which we all must die
