lyrics

At dusk there sits the widowed wife
And gaze across the oceans tide
Drifting on the afterlife
Her youngest daughter by her side

Across the sea her husband lies
Tears well up while memories fly
A setting sun, a hope that dies
As she speaks her last goodbye

The father,
The married man,
The beloved son
The bestest friend

For the dead we lament
Is given this monument
So memories won't fade to black
Devoted to those
Who never come back

At dawn they launched another wave
In which the man was washed away
In this storm he found his grave
He lived and fought and died that day

And as the wife lies down and cries
Oh the sadness, oh the woe
Sun shines into tearclogged eyes
And refelects the afterglow

The Father,
The married man,
The beloved son
The bestest friend

For the dead we lament
Is given this monument
So memories woun't fade to black
Devoted to those
Who never come back

In distant fields
The poppies blow
Beneath the crosses
Row on row
And in this sorrow
I embrace the afterglow
...I embrace the afterglow

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. Favorite Track(s): Die Feuertaufe, Grabenlieder edoerfler
