Ascending into the unknown Beyond the realm of trench war Into the clouds, beyond the skies Summits before us; blood soaked peaks Austro-Hungarian aggressors entrenched Italian Alpini on the offense A netherworld at staggering heights This is where we fight Alpine winds blow Gunfire echoes Battles atop the world Graves within the cold Munitions running short Ill equipped to break through Defensive positions unbreakable The enemy still holds Another assault into Isonzo and Karst Plateau Repeating failures more and more Stalemate ensues Desolation reigns Humanity has gone insane Alpine winds blow Gunfire echoes Battles atop the world Graves within the cold

Altitudes; extreme Mercy; fleeting Starvation; rife Determination dies Here: on the summits of death Staring down at the world as an abyss This godforsaken beautiful place Buried in the clouds until the end of days Counteroffensive on this day Austro-Hungarians on their way Asiago offensive falls The day is lost at the Tyrol Here: on the summits of death Staring down at the world as an abyss This godforsaken beautiful place Buried in the clouds until the end of days

23rd of June: 1915 Italian forces on the offensive Artillery bombardments commence Austrian positions deeply entrenched Monte Nero, Monte Colowrat The heights around Plezzo Austria won't relent High ground of Tolmino Bloodied grounds of Gorizia Offensive brought to an end In the ruins of Gorizia Street by street they fought Struggling in urban warfare As the Italians are forced back Monte Nero, Monte Colowrat The heights around Plezzo Austria won't relent High ground of Tolmino Bloodied grounds of Gorizia Offensive brought to an end

Atop the shivering peaks Carved into the earth Arteries of warfare Winding through the cold Hostile alpine winds Mines that never end Through the frozen sky Portals to the frontlines Engineering masterpiece Miners of the 33rd Company Treacherous paths in stone The First Army's Road Through the earthen gateways Supplies and soldiers walk Winding through the passes And lonely mountain slopes Battles rage within once again Austrian mines meet Italian lines Through the mountain underground Sabotage and destruction mount Engineering masterpiece Miners of the 33rd Company Treacherous paths in stone The First Army's Road
5.	Battle of the Plateaux 05:36	lyrics	buy track
May 15th, 1916 Austrian artillery opens up Italian lines at Trentino set ablaze Followed by an infantry wave Italians standing their ground The center cannot hold Austrian breakthrough begins Isonzo under threat again Reinforcements arrive Situation critical New Italian defensive line Austrian offensive dies Italian counter-offensive begins Slowly regaining ground Russia at Galicia penetrates Austrian lines they invade Two fronts change their plans Austria withdraws once again There would be another day When the fires ignite again Reinforcements arrive Situation critical New Italian defensive line Austrian offensive dies
6.	Venerdì Bianco 03:50	lyrics	buy track
Friday the 13th, Mount Marmolada A date remembered with infamy The hostile mountain peaks Spew forth death and misery Avalanche Kaiserschützen buried alive Avalanche 7th Alpini buried that night White Friday aftermath 10,000 roughly dead Forever entombed on high A grave of snow and ice Avalanche Kaiserschützen buried alive Avalanche 7th Alpini buried that night

Krigshistorie Monroe, Washington

A new page for the project following the loss of access to my previous account. Krigshistorie is a war themed black metal project started in early 2015. This is NOT political music in any way/shape or form. This is purely out of my interest in history.
