Bound For Glory - Behold The Iron Cross lyrics

Sirens are wailing, systems are failing Another line has been overrun Bombers in the air, raining hatred and despair So many that they cover the sun Call the counterattack, drive the enemy back Through their lines we must break through With full scale fighting, our charge becomes lightning Breaking the red army in two From foxhole to foxhole, over barbed wire Dodging the enemy mines Past fallen comrades into the face of d**h I charge the enemy lines From the deserts of Africa to the Russian steppes I've battled through the heat and the cold Each scar tells you a story And that's why I behold, the iron cross Behold, the iron cross Behold, the iron cross Behold, the iron cross Armored divisions pound their positions Call in the stuka attack Past screaming rockets, we break the encircled pocket Never to look back Stubborn resistance, full scale persistence Orders from the high command Make the stand to the last man it's all for the fatherland Bogged in mire under constant fire Atrocity victims lie dead in the snow The guerrilla hunt will be swift and blunt Reprisals will be tenfold I was awarded for my fierceness in battle Even though it all seemed lost Crossed swords and oak leaves now Decorate my cross! behold, the iron cross Behold, the iron cross Behold, the iron cross Behold, the iron cross Panzers rolling d**h bell tolling A nations loss never to be healed Smoke and fire a funeral pyre Charred remains litter the battle field Agony screams shattered dreams Another life is lost Insanity grows Limbs are froze in the dead of the winters frost Hard as steel nothing I feel Honor has healed my wounds Machine gun bursts quench my thirst My bayonet is perched to run you through Exploding shells frozen hells I've survived my every test Skorzeny, Meier, Florian Geyer I've fought beside the very best BEHOLD!
