Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Pulled into war to serve a vision that's supposed to last a thousand years
Part of a machine unstoppable, as merciless as tidal waves
[Verse 2]
Were they the victims of the time, or proud parts of larger goals?
Propaganda of the Reich, masterful machine
[Verse 3]
Time and again, the battle rages on beyond the gates of misery
As casualties rise, and millions die around them, did they see it all?
[Verse 4]
Crazy madmen on a leash, or young men who lost their way?
Grand illusions of the Reich may seem real at times
[Verse 5]
Panzers on a line form the Wehrmacht's spine
Lethal grand design, what about the men executing orders?
Panzers on a line form the Wehrmacht's spine
Lethal grand design, what about the men executing orders?
[Verse 6]
Ad victoriam, ex machina
Non sibi sed patriae
Ad victoriam, ex machina
Non sibi sed patriae
[Verse 7]
Pulled into war to serve a vision that just didn't last a thousand years
Part of a machine, though stoppable, as merciless as tidal waves
[Verse 8]
Crazy madmen on a leash, or young men who lost their way?
Grand illusions of the Reich may seem real at times
[Verse 9]
Panzers on a line form the Wehrmacht's spine
Lethal grand design, what about the men executing orders?
Panzers on a line form the Wehrmacht's spine
Lethal grand design, what about the men?
