To Hold Hands With Death Lyrics


Trapped behind enemy lines

In a hell of mud and blood

Bullets tearing through the night

Shredding skin from bone

Scared to death

Thinking why am I here

Frozen and alone

The battlefield becomes my home

As the whistle calls my name

Forever embraced

Eternity awaits

To hold hands with death

To hold hands with death

Fallen soldiers all around

Screams of fear and pain

Clinging to me rifle

The war machine will reign

Bombs are falling all around

Gas is filling the air

Count my ammo

Say my prayers

Ready for the front

Head first to battle we go

Blinded by hate

Merciless rage

No one will survive

Storm the trenches

Time for revenge

Ready to kill

Bayonets charging

Bodies are burning

My insides are turning

Scorched earth

The smell of fuel

The purging has begun

Gas mask terror approaching the front

Marked with the totenkopf

The battlefield becomes my home

As the whistle calls my name

I know this place

A thousand dead before me

Forever embraced

Eternity awaits

To hold hands with death

To hold hands with death

Like phantoms in the air

The gas consumes and chokes

Leaving us blind and blistered

As the light fades and the noise is no more

A final breath as he takes my hand
