Feldwärts! A spark from 1914 in a summer haze Smoulder turns to conflagration Sleepwalking Emperors set the world ablaze All consuming fire and burning temptation Feldwärts! Thus the millions go where iron flowers bloom on fields once green Joyful and in steady rows, deployment of the doomed In these august days of 1914 Europe under arms, mobilized Into the great demise For the most noble cause A war to end all wars Where all the roads have ended The armies stand aligned Where all the roads have ended The blind advance the blind Seid umschlungen Millionen, diesen Krieg der ganzen Welt! Kolonnen! Im Stechschritt auf‘s Manöverfeld! Europe under arms, mobilized Into the great demise For the most noble cause A war to end all wars This war shall end all wars

Where once the world was torn asunder and the dead forever wander They salute from ridges yonder, where once they walked through iron thunder Courage on les aura Vers l’avant Tout était mobilisé Les morts saluent toi Ils n‘ont pas passé Ils n‘ont pas passé With the ridge of hills aflame A place lives up to its name The fallen beckon from Cotê le Mort Homme Cotê le Mort Homme Courage on les aura Vers l’avant Tout était mobilisé Les morts saluent toi Ils n‘ont pas passé Courage on les aura Les morts saluent toi Ils n‘ont pas passé

Winter 1915 The Dardanelles Infernal blaze In Aegaen hells For the Empire From distant shores Anzacs Into war Ottoman audacity at Mediterrainean seas Challenging an Empire and its colonies Massacres inland Corpses on the water Crusadian storms shall end into desastrous slaughter The sea turns red On foreign strands At the edge Of continents The sea turns red On foreign strands At the edge Of continents At the edge of At the edge of Continents Where the worlds burn, Anzacs to the front! You sons from oversea There’s no return From the bloodlands Of Galipolli

Heavy motion Eastern Front Three Empires now confront Austria- Hungary, Tsarist Russia, and Germany Three Empires Waging war Two Emperors Against a Tsar The great inferno where the fire never ceased Can you perceive The thunder in the East Heavy motion Eastern Front Three Empires still confront A tumbling giant against cornered beasts A raging war in the wild wild East The great inferno where the fire never ceased Can you perceive The thunder The great inferno where fire never ceased Can you perceive The thunder in the East Burning cities Burning lands Burning mountains Burning expanse And a thunder day and night The East burns bright Almost forgotten war In the end for all in vain Three empires are no more But others‘ll meet again

Grabengott 04:05
The altar’s prepared God has thrown the dice A leaden prayer an iron paradise Masses to the mass of fire, earth and gas A solemn procession taught by a cruel martial god You baptised the world in flames Your kingdom came Soldiers hallowing thy name and Amen! Soldiers fall and ascend thy realm in rank and file You decide, you command A godforsaken mile Masses to the mass of guns, grenades and gas A solemn procession taught by a peace-despising god You baptised the world in flames Your kingdom came Soldiers hallowing thy name and Amen! You baptised the world in flames Your kingdom came Soldiers hallowing thy name and Amen!

Stahlbad 03:47
The first bombardment Cut deep into our hearts The second tore our souls apart In barrage fire we got all astray and decimated day by day Stahlbad! Iron supremacy Stahlbad! Superior Artillery Thrown back and thrown back in Forth and back and back again Within these waves and iron rains Goodbye my dearest heart The earth raped and scarred The world‘s ripped apart Stahlbad! May these be my last words in this world Into the storm they’re hurled Stahlbad! Iron supremacy Stahlbad! Superior Artillery

June 24th The day has come Retaliation At the Somme The great encounter To turn the tides By innovation On British sides Man had learned to tame the flame and to create machines War industry invents history A driving force of steel and gasoline Victory justifies the means They Appear! - Oh, what a sight! - Over the ranks! They are here! - The world turns quiet - In the face of advancing heavy tanks Man have learned to tame the flame And to create machines To change the war Forevermore A driving force of steel and gasoline Moving forth Through lands of nevergreen Onwards now! In one row Grind and plough Through the foe Earth devouring Landships Iron cavalry A German apocalypse Unleash these Banshees! They Appear! - Oh, what a sight! - Over the ranks! They are here! - A world turns quiet - In the face of advancing…

Into 1918 One last endeavor One last push for victory This time or never After years of stalemate German troops advance To tempt fate by taking fate in their own hands Full risk offensives The fifth year of war Even more extensive Than the years before Reinforcements from the East With all they have and are Efforts increased To still win this war of wars Onwards! Through hell and on Moving, moving, moving! and then be gone This war might still be won By a driven, daring Hun Through lengthening days of March A last tremendous charge Where old laws apply no more In this climax of the war Courage born now from despair Once more: Feldwärts! Getriebene im Weltenbrand Immer vorwärts Stück um Stück Aus Stürmen fern im Niemandsland Da führt kein Weg zurück Onwards! Through hell and on Moving, moving, moving! and then be gone Onwards! Through hell and on Through hell and on Go on!

Here is not peace, not the make-believe peace of the rest of the world, Here alone the war still exists, here stand the lost years Not been fullfilled they are marching, their way is far; it will take long, but it leads forward They are marching a dark army, the longest way, into the heart. here the unlived life that finds no rest, cries here the strength and the will of a youth that died poured out in one, upon the night they are marching, their way is far; it will take long, but it leads forward they are marching, their way is far; it will take long, but it leads forward It will take many years – but what is time to them? they come– And now the wind is still there on the desolate, dark waste; it blows and blows, above are the clouds the sky, the fields and the endless wide plains with the trenches and shell holes and crosses.
