lyrics

Call to arms, your name glorified
Romantic visionary of ancient times
You shall stand before it and daze
The greatest war of the modern age
Food for the gun, industrialized warfare
Piles of rotten corpses used as a bed
A bullet in the head, your last hope
To set you free of the torture you can’t cope.

Life inside your grave
With rats devouring your brain
The place where morale and dignity died
In the trenches you’ll wonder if you’re alive.

Am I alive? I am, ain’t I? Ain’t I?

You can bury your pompous national pride
Deep in the trenches where brave men died
Fighting for ideals proved to be in vain
Exposed to the merciless hands of horrid pain.

Seconds won’t pass, time seems so stale
This numbness slowly freezes my brain
Been so naïve, I could not see
The enemy ahead is a twisted portrait of me.
Jumping over rivers of barbed wire and led
So I can embrace my long-lost friend.

Stinking gas blended with the twilight mist
The piercing screams of insanity
Faces of men bruising in despair
Their last earthly moments blatantly grasping for air.

How on earth did he run away
When bullets fell like rain?
What crazy thoughts stand behind the overwhelming joy
Of a dead man’s frozen smile?
