Skirmishes and conflicts in the Balkans Observant empires draw their battle plans 1913 - Before the storm World war, at their doors... Before the storm...

Serbians ascending the fortified slopes Artillery, mortars and machineguns roar Austro-Hungarian resistance ablaze From Drina to Sabac and beyond, fires rage Villages adorned with the ornaments of war Divisions advance, retreat, and repeat Twisted wreckage formed from the birth of world war Austrian lines are overwhelmed Serbia sweeps the field Villages adorned with the ornaments of war Divisions advance, retreat, and repeat

Austrian offensive at Lazaravec Fierce combat in the mud and snow Soldiers falling from disease and cold Battle for the railways to Belgrade's door The Battle of Kolubara War marches on...

4.	The First Battle of Tembien - January 20th, 1936 03:25	lyrics	buy track
Military conflagration around Warieu Pass The Blackshirts waging war on Abyssinian shores Beyond the passes of Abaro Artillery, poison gas and bombing runs Embattled and surrounded The 28th October regiment Holding the lines under fire Eritrean reinforcements arrive The conflict ensues and the soldiers fall Beaten and batterd Abyssinians run Embattled and surrounded The 28th October regiment Holding the lines under fire Eritrean reinforcements arrive An overwhelming force supplied by the Reich Enslaving the land in an iron rule
5.	Amba Aradam - February 10th, 1936 04:16	lyrics	buy track
A thunderous army marches on Towards the river of Gabat As the dusk falls on the encampments Another murderous day ahead Amba Aradam Encirclement warfare... Amba Aradam Encirclement warfare... Encirclement warfare... An Abyssinian counterattack at dusk One by one they are reduced to dust Slowly their numbers decline Again they turn back, from whence they came Amba Aradam Encirclement warfare... Amba Aradam Encirclement warfare...
6.	The Second Battle of Tembien - February 27th, 1936 04:23	lyrics	buy track
Defending the Geba valley A labyrinth of rocky forests and streams Another Abyssinian wave attack The landscape saturated with blood Midnight Alpine commando raid To massacre the enemy at Amba Work They leave the approaches unguarded And are slaughtered in the dead of night Slaughtered in the dead of night... In the dead of night... Regia Aeronautica Bombs the entrenched Abyssinian positions A thunderous sky above The ordinance rains down with hate Once again, Abyssinia retreats Once again, they fall to defeat...
7.	The Final Battle: Mai Ceu - March 31st, 1936 02:57	lyrics	buy track
Dug into the slopes of Amba Boraka All-out Abyssinian attack on the line Aimlessly they wander into machinegun fire Mortar and artillery shells break their ranks The final battle Mai Ceu... The firefight shifts to Mekan Pass Eritreans and Italians in pursuit Concentrated fire upon their strongholds The will to defend their land dissolves The final battle Mai Ceu... The final battle Mai Ceu... A mass expenditure of chemical weapons At Lake Ashenge: April 3rd, 1936...
8.	Awaiting the Dusk 02:27	lyrics	buy track
The battle plans have been confirmed An offensive push through enemy lines Awaiting the dusk, awaiting the battle The engines hum in a mechanized chorus The enemy is enclosing from beyond the horizon The battle soon to commence An apocalyptic clash of iron and flesh
9.	Eastern Battlefields 02:24	lyrics	buy track
As the dawn breaks the machines march forward Battle lines are drawn An endless vast horizon of eastern battlefields Under never ending snow and rain Mechanized conflagration Armored warfare on a scale never seen before Shredding the landscape Decorating the countryside with corpses
10.	Kursk '43 03:23	lyrics	buy track
The battle scarred kursk salient A twisted land of fire and steel Born here were legends of war Stories of chaos and bloodshed The neverending year of 1943 Words cannot describe the terror Tank divisions silently rust Hatred seeps from the bloody soil The fires and smoke pass Wreckage and tombstones adorn the earth
11.	Iron Skeletons 03:05	lyrics	buy track
The first light comes Everywhere the dead seem to lie Their spirits wandering in confusion Ghosts tethered to their iron skeletons Carved upon these stones A mass grave for those who fell The dead forests still burn in silence and ash Nothing but the shivering of souls Marching back to the lines forever... Carved upon these stones A mass grave for those who fell Ghosts tethered to their iron skeletons...
12.	Battleships in the Morning Mist 03:46	lyrics	buy track
Far from friendly harbor Beyond the vast midnight seas The horizon silhoutted with steel The course is plotted and the turbines roar An armada of unprecidented scale Battleships in the morning mist The distance draws near The turrets are fixed on the enemy Thousands of souls act as one An apocalyptic orchestra of war An armada of unprecidented scale Battleships in the morning mist
13.	The First Salvo of Dawn 05:30	lyrics	buy track
Enemy in range Turrets fixed and waiting Finally the command arrives The first salvo of dawn The first salvo of dawn... Cannon fire erupts From everywhere and nowhere Burning corpses floating In a sea of horror Twisted carcasses battling Capsizing and exploding Morning turns to day Day falls back to night Glowing embers ablaze and engaged In a neverending holocaust Again the morning arrives Beckoning the North Atlantic tides...
14.	The North Atlantic 07:40	lyrics	buy track
From the dawn of time Until far beyond our end The north Atlantic waves Forever a grave of man... Forever a graveyard of man... Centuries of war Fought here... Countless sunken graves Millennia of conquest And exploration... Millions slumber in the deep In times of great war Fleets of battle... A smoldering Armageddon upon the waves An ocean of souls; a sea of bones The sea of bones... Centuries of war Fought here... Countless sunken graves Millennia of conquest And exploration... Millions slumber in the deep The sea of bones...
