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
