Reinforce the line
Fresh troops from abroad
Enter the carnage
Stabilize the front
Waiting for their hour
Amidst constant war
The charge approaching
Is it the final dawn?
The final dawn
A cruel task
Feeding the machine
Rats and rotten stench
Rampant disease
Living in this damp hell
In constant fear
Bodies amounting
No one will be spared
Climbing over the top
Towards the end
Prepare the bayonets
Hear the sound of the whistle
Of the whistle
Keep the line
Move forward
Enter the carnage
The battle rages on
A cruel task
Feeding the machine

Lyrics by Matias Nastolin.
The atmosphere of this album is fantastic. Makes you feel like you're knee-deep in the trenches drenched in mud, filth, sweat, and blood. Truly encapsulates the horrors of World War I, and the fact that the lyrics of some of the songs are taken from old war letters really adds to the authenticity.
Favorite Track(s): Die Feuertaufe, Grabenlieder edoerfler
I bought the digital version and after a few listens I realised I hadn't paid enough, so I bought the CD from Transcending Obscurity. Effing great. jousterjim
