Ragnarok - Iron Cross - Posthumous lyrics

Infernal machinegun fire Nocturnal winter dire The Stalinorgan plays A hellish serenade Human remains lie scattered All that's left of my brothers A darkened sky decends The hail of steel prevails Iron Cross – Posthumous Hear the sound Incoming shell Feel the steel My fate is sealed My blood is shed Christ has fled Feel the pain See the stain God is dead For whom I bled Satan's real He'll cut me a deal I grind my teeth Get on my feet A clenched fist of putrid stench The corpses have ripened nicely The eerie sound of tanks Drawing nearer on my flank Your God isn't here today Satan has come to stay Pick carefully the side Of which you choose to fight Iron Cross – Posthumous I slip and slide No way to hide I run towards The awaiting hordes My path is stained With human remains Path of entrails I'm already dead The honour's mine I stood my ground I didn't give in To anything Ragnarok Valhalla is my destiny I found my soul In Odin's hall. "Iron Cross – Posthumous" is about the Norwegians who fought on the German side in World War 2. This was mostly young boys who had no idea of what they were getting themselves into. Most of them had no political conviction, but were adventurous or on the run from home. The remains of most of them are still lying in forest beds in the Baltics. Only some of their bodies were recovered and sent home. Their families got their iron crosses posthumous.
