After nine days awaiting the final command
At dawn they attacked to burn down the land
Icecold tears dropped down from the sky
All hell breaks lose - heaven cry’s

February 21 in 1916
German guns opened fire - the slaughter begins
An earpiercing soundscape fulfils the air
All life turned away - death’s everywhere

Dissipated Life
Dissipated Life

Warplanes, poison gas and overwhelming tanks
Surrogates the combat - man against man
At first time the war will lead by technical hand
The killing keeps faceless - all over the land

They’ve got no hope to leave this hell - no hope to keep alive - live
All dreams of freedom passed away - together they shall die - die
Through trenches filled with corpses - march into the final stand - stand
Waste their life’s in senseless war - for god and for the fatherland

Dissipated Life
Dissipated Life

Shells of shrapnel falling down from everywhere
Soldiers buried alive - swallowed by bursting earth
After ten month of slaughter the battle comes to an end
The stench of rotting flesh - covered the scarred land

They’ve got no hope to leave this hell - no hope to keep alive - live
All dreams of freedom passed away - together they shall die - die
Through trenches filled with corpses - march into the final stand - stand
Waste their life’s in senseless war - for god and for the fatherland

After nine days awaiting the final command
At dawn they attacked to burn down the land
Icecold tears dropped down from the sky
All hell breaks lose - heaven cry’s

Dissipated Life

They’ve got no hope to leave this hell - no hope to keep alive - live
All dreams of freedom passed away - together they shall die - die
Through trenches filled with corpses - march into the final stand - stand
Waste their life’s in senseless war - for god and for the fatherland
