The day has come
For the old world to act
Nations armed to the teeth
Geared up for a conflict
Years of planning
Armies eager for war
Carnage in the works
Expecting fast results
Unleash the industrial might
To take part in modern war
Endless firepower
Feeding the artillery
Destructive force
Countless troops involved
This crucial moment
Decides it all
Devastation will prevail
The weak outgunned
As the stage is set
The shells will fall
Into extreme lengths
Depleting resources
But the final goal remains
No matter what it takes
The phase of mobile war
Mostly short lived
Battles on multiple fronts
Waged in a merciless way
Destructive force
Countless troops involved
This crucial moment
Decides it all
Devastation will prevail
The weak outgunned
As the stage is set
The shells will fall
The day has come
For the old world to act
Unleash the power
The stage is set

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.

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
