Quote
1. Stalinorgel
Fire! Spewing forth relentless salvos Engulfed in a hellish inferno Death comes howling from above As the Stalinorgel battery is unleashed.
Missiles rain down enveloped in flame Hear the haunting cries approaching See the enemy flee before this monstrosity Saturation bombardment destroys armour and infantry
Missiles closing in Hundreds now approaching Death is falling From steel wings
Stalin Orgel
Smoke drifts across a field of flames Supreme forces lay in ruin
Crushed beneath the weight of an artillery strike Katyusha rockets redeploy to avoid any reprieve Fear in the heart of the incoming enemy The Stalinorgels fire on with ferocity.
2. Battle of Smolensk
In 1941 the battle of Smolensk had begun During the Great War, fortresses stood strong
Armoured divisions collided with overwhelming force Blood was shed and bodies fell to the ground
Thousands of battle hardened men Fighting and killing until the end Smolensk has fallen to its knees In a bloody pool of death and defeat…
Thousands of battle hardened men Fighting and killing until the end Smolensk has fallen to its knees In a bloody pool of death and defeat
The blitzkrieg doctrine had been unleashed The soviet airfields burning with defeat Capturing Smolensk in clearer view The panzer divisions riding on through
3. Blood on Snow
Steel, flesh, blood, bone Blood on snow Terror, carnage, torturous moans Blood on snow
Beneath a winters moon Lighting their icy tomb Pools of frozen blood The dead face down in the mud
Trajectory, range, fire Bodies torn by gunfire Severed limbs strewn on barbed wire Crimsons stains in a snowscape macabre
Screams, cries, blood curdling groans Frozen limbs, broken bones Dehumanised self sacrifice Soldier’s slain rest upon the ice
Spill their blood Upon the snow A hail of bullets Stops them dead Shells strike Tearing down the enemy Torn apart By devastating weaponry Spill their blood Upon the snow A hail of bullets Stops them dead Shells strike Tearing down the enemy BLOOD ON SNOW
A cold wasteland Filled with the remains of man Frozen and contorted from a vicious kill Now their bodies lie silent and still…
Pure white winter scenery Filled with human misery Life drenches the ground Only blood and snow to be found
A cold wasteland Filled with the remains of man Frozen and contorted from a vicious kill Now their bodies lie silent and still
4. Unleash the Panzer Division
With full force they ride Navigating the war torn land Division panzer has arrived Over the ground they come
In full throttle and battle scarred Ammunition locked and loaded Soldiers poised emotionless The crusade has just begun
Carnage ensues as war machines move in Unleash division panzer Death rains down in artillery fire Unleash division panzer
With full force they ride Navigating the war torn land Division panzer has arrived Over the ground they come
5. Motherland
Unite beneath a flag of red With an iron fist and burning hatred Spill the blood of every man Who dares invade our motherland
Whether from town or field A rifle we’re forced to yield Repel the enemy onslaught Giving your life without a second thought
Forced to the frontlines, leaving my home behind The enemy in my sights as our tanks come rolling through Steel giants collide in thunderous combat We fight for our lives, my Brothers by my side
Blood on my hands and carnage on our lands Comrades beside me the first wave on infantry
Forced to the frontlines, leaving my home behind The enemy in my sights as our tanks come rolling through Steel giants collide in thunderous combat We fight for our lives, my Brothers by my side
Charging troops and colossal tanks Spreading fear and delusion through our ranks Fighting with ferocity in defence of our motherland Though we stand outnumbered, we stand to the last man Fighting with ferocity in defence of our motherland
Struck down, my comrades lay on the cold ground My nation’s blood spilt as we defend our homeland Struck down, my comrades lay on the cold ground My nation’s blood spilt as we defend our homeland
I fall to my knees Clutching my bleeding chest Searing metal chokes my pleas For freedom without death
6. Dvenadtzat kilometrov ot Moskvy
7. At the Gates of Moscow
Either side assemble as the ground trembles beneath the weight of armour Tension frays as increasing power is displayed, we are ready awaiting the slaughter
Artillery barrages pound on defensive lines Charging infantry sprayed treading on mines As Tiger and T-34 lock horns… Artillery barrages pound on defensive lines Charging infantry sprayed treading on mines As Tiger and T-34 lock horns On Soviet battlefields hellish carnage is born
Stukhas swoop down from a smoke choked sky Unleashing their bombs there is nowhere to hide The Soviets entrenched holding their line In defence of their hero city standing behind
Motivated only by the prospect on an honourable death Soviet soldiers collapse, machine gun fire renders them lifeless
The commissar pistol in hand, rallies his troops as Stalin commands Charging head-on into Deaths wide open jaws The commissar pistol in hand, rallies his troops as Stalin commands Human life expendable, Cannon fodder for the cause
Upon the morning of December 5th 1941 1.1 million Russian infantry ready themselves for a battle that must be won 600,000 German infantry stand awaiting Shell fire turns night to day in a land God has long since forsaken
MGs spitting tracer fire, the Russians fall rank by rank, they fell in their thousands, forever re-enforced. Picking up the weaponry of the dead they advance, a hideous wave of death, rising up from the corpse strewn battlefields…
MGs spitting tracer fire, the Russians fall rank by rank, they fell in their thousands, forever re-enforced. Picking up the weaponry of the dead they advance, a hideous wave of death, rising up from the corpse strewn battlefields.
Across the corpse strewn battlefields, frozen soldiers lie… Fathers, Brothers, resting forever, at the gates… at the gates of Moscow.
8. Where Warriors Once Fell
Throughout the centuries, epic battles have raged Ignited by mans ruthless hate and aggression Relentless conflict and campaigns of domination Strength forged in endless bloodshed Honouring their oath sworn to allegiance Fighting and falling with zealous rage A haunting moon sits behind black storm clouds Overlooking the savage battlefields of war
Mighty warriors march on and on On and on into the black forests Winds of sorrow swirling through the trees Hate filled eyes watch over you
The armies collide with full force Rattling armour and screams fill the air Soldiers dieing and falling all around The blood dripping to the ground below
Where warriors once fell Blood spilt to the ground
Warriors once fell on the battle fields The final resting place of their tortured souls The dead strewn throughout the wastelands And here you lie and lay forever more
Under the watch of the moon and mountains Kingdoms are ablaze Total bloodshed and war No fucking mercy on your soul
Throughout the centuries, epic battles have raged Ignited by mans ruthless hate and aggression Relentless conflict and campaigns of domination Strength forged in endless bloodshed
Mighty warriors march on and on On and on into the black forests Winds of sorrow swirling through the trees Hate filled eyes watch over you
The armies collide with full force Rattling armour and screams fill the air Soldiers dieing and falling all around The blood dripping to the ground below
