God Dethroned Passiondale 1. The Cross Of Sacrifice 2. Under A Darkening Sky Daybreak, cannons fire Attack a bleeding empire Their armies they lie in wait No escape it's too late Join our army, join our war Now's the time to settle the score The war to end all wars From far they came, from foreign lands Grim forces marching on Under a darkening sky Arch enemy you won't defy Take no prisoners, take their lives March into the enemy lands March, two, three, four Under a darkening sky Die No hope, No glory Die No victory Die Under a darkening sky 3. No Man's Land The salient is an arc of flame Machine guns fire in hysteria Thousands of soldiers die every day The wounded scream in agony Witness the last attack of the cavalry Gunned down and shot to pieces The artillery created a landscape equal to the moon Through a storm of steel Through no man's land Bullets blow you to kingdom come No man's land Only the rats grew fat on attrition Glutted with the flesh of dead soldiers Loathsome, bloated creatures Half blind and big as cats The morale of the army Was sinking in the swamps of the salient Vicious in victory We're out for war, war to the death Through a storm of steel Through no man's land Bullets blow you to kingdom come No man's land Stuck on a bayonet, or shot at dawn Life expectancy, there is none Men slipped and slithered Through bloody soil on the battleground Divisions were going across like terriers intent on flushing rats from a hole Through a storm of steel Through no man's land Bullets blow you to kingdom come No man's land 4. Poison Fog Dominate, new technologies dominate the war Exterminate, overthrow the enemy Asphyxiate, the call for retribution Vicious death creeping across the fields Mustard gas, a deadly hellish fiend A choking grip is locked around your neck Vomit blood. Your face turns grey. You are dead Nauseate. Malicious pain ripping through your lungs Degenerate. The weary crucifixion Hallucinate. Inhale, exhale Feel the wind blow in your direction Breath of death. Fog thickens the air No code of honor, you dogs of war 1917, we're gasping for air I cannot breathe, I cannot see Poison fog. Poison fog Inhaling mustard gas. It kills me in my sleep Poison fog. Poison fog. Exhaustion, dehydration The water is foul with decay and excrement and something dead It's covered with sour mustard gas As I watched them in bright daylight When crawling through the poison clouds, I saw them burn away My name should have been written between theirs on stones In dreams I still see, hear and smell them every single night Dominate, new technologies dominate the war Exterminate, overthrow the enemy Asphyxiate, the call for retribution Feel the wind blow in your direction Breath of death. Fog thickens the air No code of honor, you dogs of war 1917, we're gasping for air I cannot breathe, I cannot see Poison fog. Poison fog Inhaling mustard gas. It kills me in my sleep Poison fog. Poison fog. Exhaustion, dehydration The water is foul with decay and excrement and something dead It's covered with sour mustard gas 5. Drowning In Mud Your country needs you, so come and join our war It's fun and takes you places you've never seen before Dying races colliding on battlefields Bodies lying around you and rotting in pools Drowning in mud, your army is stuck As far as my eyes can see there's misery Trench wars caused by stalemate Digging a hole, now it's your home You wanna leave but you're stuck in the mud Then there's the rat. He becomes your best friend Don't stick your head out. The sniper never sleeps Cannons roar as you storm the enemy Dying races colliding on battlefields Bodies lying around you and rotting in pools Drowning in mud, your army is stuck As far as my eyes can see there's misery Drowning in mud Trying to stay alive Drowning in mud and die Trench wars caused by stalemate Digging a hole, now it's your home You wanna leave but you're stuck in the mud Then there's the rat. He becomes your best friend Don't stick your head out. The sniper never sleeps Cannons roar as you storm the enemy Dying races colliding on battlefields Bodies lying around you and rotting in pools Drowning in mud, your army is stuck As far as my eyes can see there's misery 6. Passiondale Take a shot at glory on the hills of Passiondale Prepare the artillery to blow away the troops on the other side Traumatized, entrenched for life Cannons point at the enemy Under siege for years and years We're swept away from the earth A serenade in lead For all those who died Wartime atrocities No sign of life No escape from Passiondale Grenades rain down on our fortress day and night My brain is numb I lost all my friends Will it ever stop There's no escape, it seems too late For god and country, we try to endure this living hell Take a shot at glory on the hills of Passiondale Prepare the artillery to blow away the troops on the other side A serenade in lead For all those who died Wartime atrocities No sign of life 7. No Survivors The sun is dawning on another sea of blood and mud March against machine guns like lambs being driven to the slaughter Tornadoes of shrapnel The wounded sinking in three feet of mud Dying grotesquely Wading through the swamp among the carnage No!!!!! -Our last assault for victory -Shattered by machine gun fire -Bombs rain down in cataracts -Carnival of death Shellshocked, paralyzed, staring into the gloom Penalties for desertion Death the reward for cowardice Salvos, cannonades, unleashing hysteria of rage The senselessness of it all grew like a cancer in the minds of the troops No!!!! -Our last assault for victory -Shattered by machine gun fire -Bombs rain down in cataracts -Carnival of death No survivors For weeks I have waited in this mud I'm shaking, I'm wet The stench of my dead friends Relieved when we finally march in This waiting is killing me Traumatized eyes, as we go in Bodies everywhere, the bullets scream We can't survive but we march in Nothing to win but I go in Don't care if this killing is a sin I just want to end this hell I'm in I hit the bottom, we did not win No!!!! -Our last assault for victory -Shattered by machine gun fire -Bombs rain down in cataracts -Carnival of death No survivors 8. Behind Enemy Lines The march has come to a hold From victory to disaster Massive assault but your enemy runs faster Attacking in waves, still no one returns Battalions die in demise It's time to get behind enemy lines Behind enemy lines A battalion on top of the hill With a grand view it's an easy kill A big dense cloud of smoke fills the sky Blown into oblivion The effort was big, the tunnel was long It was worth the work and the enemy's gone We finally marched on, then the first tanks came rolling in Fear is in your eyes Another bloody curse Crushed by a fucking tank Chaos in your mind Running out of luck Down the muddy road of extinction Nothing you can do Nowhere left to hide The bloody thing spitting hell fire You want to stay alive You keep your head low But the time has come to meet your maker The march has come to a hold From victory to disaster Massive assault but your enemy runs faster Attacking in waves, still no one returns Battalions die in demise It's time to get behind enemy lines Behind enemy lines 9.
