Stalingrad

The Volga's black tonight, the city lights up red
We clutch the railings as the boats lurch towards the city of the dead
The turncoats bodies floating back across the water
To be buried in a shallow unmarked grave by the reds

We reach the shores of Stalingrad, with one gun for two men
Charge into the battle as the bombs burst on and on above your heads
Run to the foe and die an honorable death
For mother Russia and the guns behind your head

Carry onward, march until your bodies line the roads
Carry onward, the bombs are bursting on all on their own
Carry onward, the stars are watching your glory
For your great leader and for your motherland

The sniper sights are glowing red with the blood along the streets
Hours turn to days, and days turn into weeks, and years
We hold the little shred of hope at decimation all our homes are gone
The snow is clinging onto blood and dead men's clothes

We have no other place to go, we have no other place to go
Our comrades left us all alone with our limbs and organs falling out
My arm's been gone for a week or two and now
I just don't feel it anymore, I just don't feel it when I drown

The lucky ones are the dead
The lucky ones are the dead

I watched the life fade from your eyes
I kissed humanity goodbye
Everything is cannabalized
Right in that space between your eyes!

Your eyes...
