1914
Enter the war machine
Imperialist militarism
Creates national schism
The hammer strikes, a bullet flies
A royal dies, now nations collide
A single bullet has guaranteed
A war like Europe's never seen
Entangling alliance
Harsh terms bring non compliance
Shows of force embolden hate
The time has come for war is our fate
A new day dawns
A new era of death
So it is let it be
War is our destiny
Mass death and misery
The price of humanity

Where Iron Death Roams
05:19
|
|||
The Earth explodes a violent shake as a pale grey sky rains fire
Alone with thoughts of certain death and tangled in barbed wire
A bayonet in hand my only chance at seeing home
Scattered corpses lay in waste where iron death roams
Machine gun fire decimates my comrades and command
Trench to trench I brush with death as bombers rape the land
Head to toe with mud and blood my legs are bleeding out
But with my blade I strip the life of enemies around
Roaring gears and ricochet send terror through my mind
With mounds of dead behind me I see my end in sight
Where Iron Death Roams
Never again see home
Where Iron Death Roams
Scorched land their own

Endless Air Raids

Endless air raids
They say deaths meets us all
We'll all have our day
Send these bastards to him first
Make these sons of bitches pay
Fields of endless war
World of endless death
The vultures circle in the sky
Killing day and night
Endless air raids
Machines of flying slaughter
Merciless bombing raids
Helpless to assault from
Endless fucking planes
Blotting out the sun
Just scorched earth remains
Anti air guns fail
Assault can't be contained
Endless air raids

Corpses As Sandbags
01:21
|

What war always provides
Is never ending death
Littered through the land
Useful till the end
Piled 3 meters high
Rampart of demise
Dying for a flag
Corpses as sandbags
Endless waves of troops
Fodder for the guns
The dog of war's tail wags
Corpses as sandbags

Coerced to serve in a war I did not want
Killing for kings and bureaucrats
Grotesque evil scum
Conscripted for Slaughter
I lie alone
Awaiting oblivion
The trench and shell hole my only home
Godless sky above charred mud below
Nothing comes from this waste of life
Nothingness for me and my platoon
Only our thoughts to warm us as we drift
Into the numbing dark all alone
Into the numbing dark... all alone..
All alone..

Gas Mask Trench Attack
03:15
|
|||
Crawling through the phosgene fog and strobing rapid fire
Across cold earth machine gun nests and corpses in barbed wire
Night time air is cold and darkness aids in our approach
We pour into the German trench for hand to hand assault
Chaotic warfare shrouds the scene as waves of troops attack
Brutality surrounds us as the dead begin to stack
My knuckle duster drips with blood
My heart is pounding mind is numb
From carnage and macabre unthinkable
Attack!
Attack!

No God But War
03:17
|
|||
Dragged to the infirmary
Clinging on to life
Left arm bleeding out
Shrapnel in my side
Numb below my waist
Gagging on my blood
Eyes can barely open
Head to toe with mud
In comes a priest
To read my last rites
To say a final prayer
And leave this wretched life
Divine intervention
Immaculate deception
Vicarious redemption
Moral abomination
Absurd apparitions
Nonsense implications
Profane extinction
Lies of salvation
War is the only god
War conquers all
War is the only god
War will never fall
He told me lies of Christ
Till I could hear no more
Save your fucking breath priest
There is no god but war

A night of peaceful sleep far away from the front lines
They lay in calm indifference daily life passing by
High above the clouds a hell is slowly creeping out
Civilian population is tormented by the krauts
None are safe from war
Silent death from above
The night time sky rains fire
Cities now a pyre
Our relentless fight to crush the bastards of the iron cross
In death infested trenches spread from Marne to Verdun
So much death to gain an inch his nightmare never ends
Now back at home they kill our families and friends
Incinerated
Obliterated
Annihilated
Cremated
This world is on fire
The world is full of death
The world is a dying whore
Choking on its last breath
There's no hope this age of death will birth an age of peace
Mankind's an infection and war is our disease
