The Attack of the Dead Men Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Turmoil at the front
Wilhelm's forces on the hunt
There's a thunder in the east
It's an attack of the deceased
They've been facing poison gas
7,000 charge en masse
Turn the tide of the attack
And force the enemy to turn back
[Pre-Chorus]
And that's when the dead men are marching again
[Chorus]
Osowiec then and again
Attack of the dead, hundred men
Facing the lead once again
Hundred men charge again, die again
Osowiec then and again
Attack of the dead, hundred men
Facing the lead once again
Hundred men charge again, die again
[Verse 2]
Two combatants spar
Hindenburg against the Tsar
Move in 12 battalions large
Into a Russian counter-charge
They'll be fighting for their lives
As their enemy revives
Russians won't surrender, no
Striking fear into their foe
[Pre-Chorus]
And that's when the dead men are marching again
[Chorus]
Osowiec then and again
Attack of the dead, hundred men
Facing the lead once again
Hundred men charge again, die again
Osowiec then and again
Attack of the dead, hundred men
Facing the lead once again
Hundred men charge again, die again
[Guitar solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
And that's when the dead men are marching again
[Chorus]
Osowiec then and again
Attack of the dead, hundred men
Facing the lead once again
Hundred men charge again, die again
Osowiec then and again
Attack of the dead, hundred men
Facing the lead once again
Hundred men charge again, die again
[Outro]
Osowiec then and again
(That's when the dead men are marching again and again)
Attack of the dead, hundred men
Facing the lead once again
Hundred men charge again, die again
Osowiec then and again
Attack of the dead, hundred men
(That's when the dead marched again)
Facing the lead once again
Hundred men charge again, die again
The Red Baron Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Man and machine and nothing there in between
The flying circus and a man from Prussia
The sky and a plane, this man commands his domain
The western front and all the way to Russia
Death from above, you're under fire
Stained red as blood, he’s roaming higher
Born a soldier from the horseback to the skies
That's where the legend will arise
[Pre-Chorus]
And he's flying
[Chorus]
Higher, the king of the sky
He’s flying too fast and he's flying too high
Higher, an eye for an eye
The legend will never die
[Verse 2]
First to the scene, he is a lethal machine
It's bloody April and the tide is turning
Fire at will, it is the thrill of the kill
Four in a day, shot down with engines burning
Embrace the fame, red squadron leader
Call out his name, Rote Kampfflieger
In the game to win, a gambler rolls the dice
80 allies paid the price
[Pre-Chorus]
And he's flying
[Chorus]
Higher, the king of the sky
He's flying too fast and he's flying too high
Higher, an eye for an eye
The legend will never die
[Bridge]
Higher
Higher, the king of the sky
He's flying too fast again, he's flying too high, he’s flying
Higher, an eye for an eye
The legend will never die
Higher
[Pre-Chorus]
Born a soldier, from the horseback to the skies
And the legend never dies
And he’s flying
And he's flying
And he’s flying
[Chorus]
Higher, the king of the sky
He's flying too fast and he's flying too high
Higher, an eye for an eye
The legend will never die
Higher, the king of the sky
He's flying too fast and he’s flying too high
Higher, an eye for an eye
The legend will never die
A Ghost in the Trenches Lyrics
[Intro]
Move between the lines, a soldier breaking the confines
[Verse 1]
A force deployed from overseas
A war in foreign land await the eager recruits
And in their midst, among the men
A soldier with a different past return to his roots
[Pre-Chorus]
Into battle, the gas has them pinned
Then this soldier invoke the spirits of the wind
[Chorus]
Under fire, a ghost that roams the battlefield
Move between the lines, a soldier breaking the confines
Just another man and rifle, a marksman and a scout revealed
Makes his way from trench to trench alone, moving undetected
[Verse 2]
And on the fields of Passchendaele
A guiding light for reinforcements finding their way
And in the Battle of the Scarpe
Bring ammo over no man's land and fire away
[Pre-Chorus]
In the battle, the gas had them pinned
Pegahmagabow
Invoked the spirits of the wind
[Chorus]
Under fire, a ghost that roams the battlefield
Move between the lines, a soldier breaking the confines
Just another man and rifle, a marksman and a scout revealed
Makes his way from trench to trench alone, moving undetected
[Guitar solo]
[Chorus]
Under fire, a ghost that
Under fire, a ghost that roams the battlefield
Move between the lines, a soldier breaking the confines
Just another man and rifle, a marksman and a scout revealed
Makes his way from trench to trench alone, moving undetected
[Outro]
Francis stayed and fought throughout the war
Made his way until the end alive
The End of the War to End All Wars Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Death, hard to ignore
One million lost five months into the war
Pain, fell one by one
Three years remained, it had only begun
Unable to restore
A map redrawn
Unlike what came before
The future of warfare has dawned
[Verse 2]
Do what must be done
Send off your son, life cut short by a gun
Gas, cover the fields
Gone with the wind, reveal lethal ideals
[Refrain]
And as the end draws near
November dawn
With losses so severe
Cease-fire, their forces withdrawn
[Chorus]
Great war enter
Front and centre
Grand endeavour
Lost forever
Great war enter
Front and centre
Grand endeavour
Lost forever
[Refrain]
And as the end draws near
November dawn
With losses so severe
Cease-fire, their forces withdrawn
[Outro]
November 11th settling the score
From 15 to 20 million
Almost half of the dead civilian
A new world will dawn from empires fallen
The end of the war to end war
