For Glory and Honour
02:13

Towards the blood-soaked fields of the Great War
The soldiers of Mother Russia march
To crush the enemy with flesh and bone
In a world of blazing fire
For glory and honour, they are sacrificed
In the ashes of war, embers are glowing bright
After nocturnal darkness, a new dawn will arise.
Guiding the nation towards a triumphant future

The Russian bear
roars in rage
Over Tannenberg
it loudly resounds
Determined German
forces make their stand
The Russian onslaught halted
on this red-stained earth
A storm of lead, a fog of gunpowder
Rivers of blood, mountains of corpses
German steel and Russian flesh collide
In these blood-soaked lands, victory is on our side
On this crimson field, we made our stand
With glory and honor, death defied
Through fire and blood, we prevailed
Hail to the fallen, their sacrifice divine
A grim display
of power and might
As German blows
skilfully find their mark
Their frail minds
now quickly crumble
Under the weight
of complete anguish
The Russian bear
met its demise
Cries for help
echoing through the night
The ultimate relief
of a bayonet mercy kill
The stench of death
heavy in the air

7.62 Escape
05:02
|
|||
|
On the run with an army destroyed
Out of breath and out of luck
Stars in the August night sky
mercilessly mocking his failure
Nowhere to go, nowhere to flee
An ultimate solution remains
A 7.62 (seven point sixty two) escape
Delivered through the barrel of his Nagant
With the gun to his head
He glanced at the sky
A final bang resounded
His fate forever sealed
Lost in chaos and disgrace
A mind consumed by despair
A soul devoured by darkness
Alone with his thoughts so sordid
His legacy forever tarnished
Aleksandr Samsonov
A general so broken and bent
Only one way this game can end
The weight of defeat
Too much to bear
In utter darkness
He reveled
Another victim
Of war's cold reign
In the obscurity of Tannenberg
Samsonov sealed his fate
With a finger on the trigger
A final bang to end it all

Ferocious Mosin Law
04:44
|
|||
|
Invasion of Galician lands
Borders savagely breached
Austro-Hungarian troops
Decimated by artillery fire
Darkness falls upon Lemberg
Now begins the Russian reign
A city torn viciously apart
As the rabid horde descends
Execute!
Torture!
Plunder!
Pillage!
Imperial Russian despots rule with iron hand
A ferocious Mosin law to subjugate them all
Silent prayers go unanswered
Abandoned by an uncaring God
Crushed beneath the boot of hate
As the shadow of death looms
Ancient streets now blood filled
Deeply scarred by brutal command
Their holy temples desecrated
By the ferocious Cossack wrath
Terror and destruction
A time of pure animosity
Tyrants of utter darkness
Ruling through and pain
Torture and molestation
No benevolence is shown
Futile cries of the oppressed
Drown out all remaining hope
Imperial Russian despots
RUSSIAN DESPOTS
rule with iron hand
IRON HAND
A ferocious Mosin law
MOSIN LAW
to subjugate them all
SUBJUGATE THEM ALL

Frozen Souls
05:10
|
|||
|
Marching through an icy landscape
No warmth, frostbite gnawing at their souls
No shelter from frigid winds that scourge the land
Only the bitter embrace of the biting cold
Trapped in a hell that seems eternal
A frozen wasteland even unfit for graves
Frozen souls in a land of despair
A desolate wilderness where hope dies
Tired eyes scan the bleak horizon
For a death that seems like salvation
Paling memories of home so remote
Blotted out by freezing gales
A broken spirit in an ice-cold body
A voice cries out in complete silence
Gazing at the stars
Longing for a distant home
Yet the Motherland
Is lost in the fog of war
Frost eats away at human flesh
Rations scarce yet the hunger gnaws
Fate has dealt a heavy hand
In the winter's cruel embrace
Forbidden prayers in the silent night
To a god either deaf or dead
Fade away in a harsh predicament
Condemned to a destiny cruel and cold
Will we lay our heads in icy graves
With only snow covering our hollowed bones
Lost in violent winter storms
In this dreary land of mourning
Impatiently waiting for death's touch
In this winter's biting affliction

Die Gedanken Verloren
03:25
|
|||
|
Wir marschieren nach Osten
Zum Land des Feindes
Immer weiter vorwärts
Für das Vaterland
This world is chaos
its breath is blood
The savage man
is the primal soul unmasked
The only law
is tooth and claw
All peace is fraud
Die Heimat so fern
der Feind so nah,
Die Gedanken verloren
in endloser Nacht.
Combat is the cradle of life
We emerge not crying but clashing
We inherit the endless struggle
as did the ancients in the shadows
And though priests sing their sweet illusions
Veiled under their sanctified hymns
none may escape this blood-born truth
The primal code is fang upon flesh
