Battle of Britain Lyrics


Chaos reigns!

World at war, once more

As the madman to the east bred his armies of hate,

The battle-weary world watched in silence

The wastelands of the River Somme claimed my father’s life,

Just one of many thousands herded toward the black beyond

We destroyed the youth of yesterday with machinegun symphonies,

What destiny awaits our youth today?

The battle of the empires rages on

The “War to end all Wars” – what fabrication

Alive once were my hopes for peace and freedom,

Now overshadowed by the graves of those who fought and died in vain

And now, I too am summoned to the call

A shallow grave awaits my own untimely fall,

Why not? This world is lost, my life means nothing now!

The peace I sought, my death shall reveal

Bombs burst all around, the evil hordes arrive

Bloody gore, total war, not a soul will be left alive

Man your fighters, ride the wind, annihilate!

Bring them down, one by one, survive, only to kill another day

Roll, spin, dive

Target, aim, fire

Blood will fall from the sky

Where the enemy comes to die

Feel the wrath of the Hurricane

The sting of the Spitfire leaves you slain

Spawn of evil go down in flames

Oh cruel fate what bitter destiny

Burned alive, I’ve lost my dignity

Why am I denied release from pain?

I’d rather die than never fly again

Humiliation, medication, hospital beds

Sterility, insanity, thoughts of madness fill my head

Paralyzed, swell of hatred makes me numb

Want to face my enemy and kill the fucking Nazi scum!

Roll, spin, dive

Target, aim, fire

Blood fell from the sky

Where the enemy came to die

They felt the wrath of the Hurricane

The sting of the Spitfire left them slain

Spawn of evil they drowned in flames

Justice triumphant, yet the sadness ever lingers

Proud to have survived the trials, though my body’s left disfigured

In the shadow of our victory,

I cannot help but wonder what’s beyond

Yet another line of men defined by the sword,

As our establishment keeps calm and carries on

With a legacy of horror,

The blood of millions ever on our hands

I have lived the lies and paid the price of empire

And I will wither as it crumbles into dust
