1914 LYRICS

1. War In

[Instrumental]

2. Gasmask

Fall of the dominion
Empires burning
Destruction and death as homecoming
Back to the Trenches
Straighten up your rifle
Get back inline
Give up your life for
Empire

Death is not the end
Gas mask on my face

Wounded faces
Scream it out loud
I lie in the mud
One of thethousands of others who died
With phosgene's blindness
Back to the Trenches
Give up your life for
Empire

Death is not the end
Gasmask on my face

3. Frozen In Trenches (Christmas Truce)

Winter in trenches
Becomes unbearable
Cold claws of death
Entwined my heart
Like snow-white marble
Our bodies are frozen
Dead fingers squeeze rifles and knifes

My dead comrade
Lies a few hundred yards from me
Snow covered his new uniform
And his blood becomes white too

Soldiers of my regiment
Drop their weapon and go out of the trenches
Their faltering few steps
To white rest and enemies
On the nomans land
They hugged and singed
And yet with neither rage no hate
Cause its christmas eve
But I'm obliged to kill

I take the bayonet
And run across the field
Young German reaches out to me
I hit him in the throat

Again again and again
Because there is no fucking christmas truce

4. Verdun

Like scum of earth
Like dust on shoes.
I seethe walls of
Fort Douaumont
Despair
Despond
Despair
Despond

The shrapnel rain wrapped me
It falls hard washes me away
My world remained without light
The leaden clouds filled the sky

Got the light?
And woke up dead
God of light?

You will be exterminated
Don't even try
Your life will be trampled down
In Verdun's mud
Fairness does not exist
And you're just a piece
Of meat
In the grinder of senseless war

Got the life?
Cross the line
God the life?

5. Caught In The Crossfire

I arise into glory ride
Through the battlefield
Ripped bodies lie around
Death, decay and filth
No mercy for the enemies
Run and shoot to kill
I don't know how long I can
Endure that bloody thrill

But death remains
And bullet waits
The shrapnel rain
Tore down the veins

We all get lost
Buried alive in mud
With trench-bombs and guns in numbed hands
We are all dead
And there is no earthly reason
To still believe in flags of our state

I lie in the middle of no man's lands
Where fear and weapons meet
I have run out of ammunition
And I cannot retreat
I see the bodies of dead comrades
And crawl between their parts
Pinned down by a crossfire
From the enemy machine guns

6. Zeppelin Raids

Zeppelin raids

Death comes in different ways
It hangs in the air
Spilled on the battleground
It squashes you with tracks
Too many ways to die
Now decease coming down like
Black vultures in the sky
And you are bursting out

Impaled
All wounded
Dissected
Unburied

Charred corpses
Torn into pieces
Departed
Without breathing

I'm running down thru the scorched earth
Death overtakes me
And quiet sound of working air screws
Burns me down

7. Ottoman Rise

Thru the night
I hear war-cries
Shots and whistles of yataghans
Here comes the 57th infantry Regiment
Lead by Ataturk

Our ANZAC Corps
Was entrenched at the Gallipoli coast
Ottoman machine-guns
Met us with fire
We did not expect
Such furious defense
So far away from home
We died
At the nomads land

Back into the sea
Away from the coast
Back into the sea
Drop the gun and run

We thought they were barbarians
But encountered
Well-trained and organizedimperial army
With cannons and machine-guns
How can we win
When their commander
Ordered them:

I do not order to fight,
I order you to die.
In the time which passes
Until we die,
other troops
Can come forward
And take our places
Inshalah!

Ottoman rise!
Inshalah!

8. Arditi

I
Light up the night,
The purifying fire
Of hand grenades
Becomes your defiler
Estimate
Of the enemy's intentions
By the way
We came for you in trenches

Bayonet in throat
Trench club stuck in your skull
Overage
Of blood lust desires
On and on
Beat down the enemies
By the way
We came for you in trenches

Guards of war
When daylights gone, we light the fire
Guards of war
We took the death for you for hire
Guards of war
Bayonets as god, blood as religion
Guards of war
Vengeance in death,
No benediction

9. Battlefield

The Fields Where I Died
Brave and courage
As long as ravens fly
Flags and heroes
Lay down to the ground
Cost of freedom
Death tracked us down as a hound

Death tracked us down as a hound
Embrace me till the end
Death tracked us down as a hound
I hope you all die alone

10. War Out

[Instrumental]
