BATTALION LYRICS

1. Thrash Maniacs

Out in the darkness the serpents arise
The fire starts melting the snow
Chains of slavery are breaking in two
So the empire of evil can grow

Myths of the past are undying at last
Hearts pound inside the light of the moon
The wind and the rain, the blood in my veins
The meltdown is coming too soon

Ice cold winter, freeze my soul
There is no place to go
Underdogs are gathering
In a place nobody should know

Thrash maniacs
Thrash maniacs
Thrash maniacs
Thrash maniacs

Release the curse in the smoke and the rust
As the sinner is choosing his way
Sending the plague seven days into the dark
Bringing madness and hell to this day

The undead arise, leave their funeral in despise
Spread the ash and the dust on the ground
On the way, kill the brave,
They march to their grave lead by a terrible sound

Sand of time is running blind
Bitter-sweet is the pain
Purgatory chose its path
It plunges through my lungs and my veins

Thrash maniacs
Thrash maniacs
Thrash maniacs
Thrash maniacs

Terminate,
Gods on the right
Hunting down the victims
At day and at night

Violence,
There is no annulation
The stronger race is feeding
On the weaker creation

Braindead,
Branded with a mark
On dogs of hell we're riding
With the evil force we bark

Reckoning,
Counting the days
Four ugly demons break your power
As they daze

Thrash maniacs
Thrash maniacs
Thrash maniacs
Thrash maniacs

Muthas of metal are seeking for blood
In their ruins, they're never to tame
The bringer of evil their masters defeat
Defending their realm is in vain

Wars of the heathen the pharaohs speak
Across thousands of years
Spelling history by ringing a bell
As we drown in millions of tears

Twisting our sphere world's end is near
Peace is nowhere
Hiding somewhere senseless beware
Now it's too late to take care

Thrash maniacs
Thrash maniacs
Thrash maniacs
Thrash maniacs

2. Headbangers

Greedy demons
They stood in the night
Long before you were born
In making music
They played with the fire
And spread their seeds in a storm

You'll be the next to get infected
Somewhere unknown waits the disease

(Headbangers!)
Lust in smoke
(Headbangers!)
The rules we broke
(Headbangers!)
One with the storm
(Headbangers!)
With you we are reborn

Goddamned silence, I'm going insane
I am a metal rebel
My adrenaline, my loss of control
An idea of the Devil

You'll be the next to get infected
Somewhere unknown waits the disease

(Headbangers!)
Lust in smoke
(Headbangers!)
The rules we broke
(Headbangers!)
One with the storm
(Headbangers!)
With you we are reborn

3. Running Alone

Show no remorse
The bell is starting to toll
A new era of your life has begun

Say goodbye to your home
Welcome the truth
Let go of all plans and your dreams

Stop to think
Start to decide
Life in the military zone

Unity stands
Democracy falls
And my feelings are in their control

I'm running alone

Don't look to the left
Don't look to the right
March to the sound of their footsteps

Hold onto the strong
Feed on the weak
But beware of the Hungry Machine

Friends turn to beasts
They're holding a gun
Look out which way the bullets go

The law steers my will
They're pulling my strings
Oh God will I ever be free

I'm running alone

Burning fields
Rotten souls
We share our last hours on fast pace

Don't look back at home
Don't try to cry
Be grateful that you're still alive

Breaking bridges
Building walls
Destroy the Gathering of Our Generations

Seek the Man
Use the Gun
To end their lives out on the fields

I'm running alone
I'm running alone
I'm running alone
I'm running alone
I'm running alone

4. Wings of a Demon

Wings,
Wings of a Demon
Wings,
Wings of a Demon

I am damned, it's madness in Hell
He's got me chained and dazed with a spell
Under the soil
I am the one to spoil
Unholy water
Lakes of Hell start to boil

This must be the encounter with death
I hear his voice,
I feel his breath
Poisoned smoke is surrounding my soul
I'm screaming out
But no one hears my call.

He just sucks the scars from my
Wings,
Wings of a Demon
Wings,
Wings of a Demon

The suffering shakes,
My nerves escalate
His torture's crazy pain that manipulates
I'm turning blind
He's burning my eyes
The ice is thin and he laughs at my cries

It's worse than Hell,
I wish I would die
I pray to God but realize He's a lie
Satan is king, He's tormenting with loss
He speaks a final curse and burns me to dust

He just sucks the scars from my
Wings,
Wings of a Demon
Wings,
Wings of a Demon
Wings,
Wings of a Demon

5. T.F.F.M.

Welcome to the world
And here we are again
To unleash for metal
To wake up the damned
Hunting the night
An arrow on fire
Onto the goal
Of our golden desire

From down below we rose up
Wes it was from Hell
When we're on stage the night burns
'Cause we're ringing Satan's bell

Out of the smoke
Straight from the source
With passion in the heart
On the same old course
We're kicking your asses
And melting your ears
So run into the battle
And chase away your fears

From down below we rose up
Wes it was from Hell
When we're on stage the night burns
'Cause we're ringing Satan's bell

We see it come (WE COME TO FIGHT)
We will belong (WE COME TO FIGHT)
Tonight, within this light
Come with us to the metal fight
With this song (WE COME TO FIGHT)
We'll become strong (WE COME TO FIGHT)
Tonight, within this light
Come with us to the metal fight

When the battle is done
And all that's left is bones and dust
You smell the taste of power
And you know it is a must
Soon we'll come again
And return into the fire
Onto the goal
Of our golden desire

From down below we rose up
Wes it was from Hell
When we're on stage the night burns
'Cause we're ringing Satan's bell

We see it come (WE COME TO FIGHT)
We will belong (WE COME TO FIGHT)
Tonight, within this light
Come with us to the metal fight
With this song (WE COME TO FIGHT)
We'll become strong (WE COME TO FIGHT)
Tonight, within this light
Come with us to the metal fight

6. Bullets & Death

Molten breath
Orange sky
Melting the skin
Mutants are alive
Summon up the phantoms
The heart of the damned
The bringers of hate
Lay the pain in our hand
Hell is about
To obey the command

Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust

Bullets and death
Bullets and death

Atomic bombs
Sodomized blood
Devil's gun
Helpless God
Beyond our world
The Agents are dead
The seed of destruction
Quickly gets spread
An age of ruin
Is marching ahead

And the Reapers
Are taking your life away

Bullets and death
Bullets and death

Armed corpses are running wild
The battalion is taking control
The number of the Beast is dialed
The militia is out on parole

It's the rise of the overkill
It's the fall of our world in denial
Backs to the wall
The prisoners are raising Hell
And you must die

Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust

Bullets and death
Bullets and death
Bullets and death
Bullets and death
BULLETS

7. Stalingrad

In winterstorm a war to see
Enter the gates to insanity
Hardened hearts, frozen minds
Another step of mankind

The leader proudly rings his bell
Block for block to maintain this Hell
The war machines are plowing fast
Straight towards their final blast

Stalingrad
I've seen it all before
Ice like fire
Destroys our dreams and our desires

[Spoken word: German]
"In jungen Jahren hast du Lust auf's Leben, willst alles nehmen, was dir
Welt dir gibt, wünschst eine Frau dir, eine wunderschöne, zu lieben in den
Tod. Doch ich war gefangen in eine Stadt ohne Hoffnung, meine Träume
versanken im eiskalten Schnee, wir hatten nichts als uns selbst. Wir waren
Brüder, die tapfersten Männer die ich je gesehen. Ich hielt ihre Hände als
meine Brüder ihre letzten Tränen vergossen und stand langsam kälter und
kälter, ich wusste alles beginnt zu zerbrechen und ich fühlte ein Mann
wird sein Stolz nicht im Kampfes finden, sondern nur in der Liebe, doch
die Bibel hatte ich nicht mehr, denn ich war in Stalingrad"
[English translation]
"In your young years you have lust for life, want to take everything life
gives you, wish for a woman, a beautiful one, to love until you die. But I
was trapped in a city without hope, my dreams sank into the ice cold snow,
we had nothing but ourselves. We were brothers, the bravest men I have
ever seen. I held their hands as they shed their last tears and stood
colder and colder, I knew everything began to fall apart and I felt a man
would not find his pride in battle but only in Love, but I did not have
the bible with me, because I was in Stalingrad."

In Stalingrad
We lived in Hell of Earth
In Stalingrad
We died in Hell on Earth

Rusted guns and empty shells
And once again the wise man tells
That the soldiers lost their breath
Meet their future, meet Black Death

8. Interlude

[Instrumental]

9. Beggars Right

You let us dry up on the streets
You steal our rights and our bags
Our home is a foreign ruin
The world is just too blind just to see

The wards in the streets they are raging
We're formed by a past that we saw
We fight for our clan and for no one
But first we are fighting the law
(Fighting the law)

Out in the streets
Never to tame
It's a new beginning
The loss of your gain
Rich man beware
You're losing your ground
Your time's running out
We're taking you down

To beggar's right

Our sons they start dealing as children
And most of them end up in jail
But some healers are achieving survival
To announce that your souls are for sale
(Souls are for sale)

Out in the streets
Never to tame
It's a new beginning
The loss of your gain
Rich man beware
You're losing your ground
Your time's running out
We're taking you down

To beggar's right

10. Dictators of Stone

Most of us, we have no aim
Because you took it all away
We are alone, we've got no home
Drugs lead our mind astray

Manipulate, interpretate
Turn every lie into truth
Way too long is our distance
I see the Hell in this youth

I've come to tell you something true
That you might not understand
You make us take the wrong way
And lose our common sense

DICTATORS OF STONE
DICTATORS OF STONE
DICTATORS OF STONE
DICTATORS OF STONE

Broken justice, illegal rights
We're puppets in corrupted hands
Waves of depression have taken control
Our hope is sinking in sand

I've come to tell you something true
That you might not understand
You make us take the wrong way
And lose our common sense

DICTATORS OF STONE
DICTATORS OF STONE
DICTATORS OF STONE
DICTATORS OF STONE

11. Defenders

The general is waiting
Our guns are prepared
In the first rows
A strange atmosphere
Shoulder the rifle
Load up for the pain
The fire of evil
Is burning again

Into the war
Our fathers have fought here before
They're attacking our land
And we fight to defend

Horses galloping
On the barren field
Int he dust of the battle
Our frontier is sealed
Beneath the riders
And the men and the dead
A place once so peaceful
Is turning red

Into the war
Our fathers have fought here before
They're attacking our land
And we fight to defend

Under the barrel of war I am trapped
God, this judgement is a shame
The command of the government is strict
But can you explain me the aim?
Our home it is burning, our children and wives
Are flooding our land with their tears
Furious we fight and we do it with right
Twisting the soul of fear

Into the war
Our fathers have fought here before
They're attacking our land
And we fight to...
Into the war
Our fathers have fought here before
They're attacking our land
And we fight to,
Fight to live
