Cauldron of Attrition Lyrics


Panzer wheels roll forward

Grinding steel screaming horses

The reek of death the scent of war

Marching to the front once more

Labyrinth of trenches

Endless maze of corpses

Blistered bodies fill the scene

This horror has never been seen

Death flies on poisonous mist

Death flies on wings of war

Death flies forevermore

The reaping scythe of death

The reaping scythe of death

Blade of poison

Pierce the skin

Cold steel rapture

Flares fired into the night

The silhouette of soldiers

Cannons blitz from miles away

The victims scream in dismay

Muffled voices from all around

The dreaded cry: gas gas gas!

Smoke fills every trench

Beyond their masks the fatal stench

The reaping scythe of death

The reaping scythe of death

Death flies on hell-screaming mortars

Death flies on wings of war

Death flies forevermore

Rising dawn the poison has cleared

Night of the shelling erased

Tormented screams recall the misery

Disfigured bodies left in agony

Desolate landscape

Tomb of millions

Thunder from the bombings

A fading wail of dying forces

Grinding battles

Cauldron of attrition

Grinding battles

Cauldron of attrition
