Verdun's Hand

(Instrumental Intro) (Verse 1) On the Devil's Anvil, we take our stand The earth ablaze, in No Man's Land Amidst the smoke and the fiery glow We fight our battles, our fears we sow (Pre-Chorus) Barbed wire fences, stretching wide Machine guns roar, the end's denied Gas clouds drifting, choking air In this hell, we're ensnared (Chorus) In the mud and the blood, we stand Trenches deep, across this land Once we dreamed of glory grand But now we're trapped in Verdun's hand (Verse 2) Orders came, we marched with pride Flags waving high, nowhere to hide But soon we found, in trenches low The truth of war, its brutal flow (Pre-Chorus) Once we thought this fight would end With heroes' welcome, cheers ascend But now we see, with weary eyes The cost of glory, the soldier's cries (Chorus) In the mud and the blood, we stand Trenches deep, across this land Once we dreamed of glory grand But now we're trapped in Verdun's hand (Instrumental Intro) (Verse 3 -French Perspective) For la patrie, we will hold the line Our soil, our home, our sacred shrine "They Shall Not Pass," our rallying cry Stand against this storm, we shall never shy Though we may die, our spirits soar high In brotherhood bound, we reach for the sky (Guitar Solo) (Verse 4 - German Perspective) Across the fields, we march as one Our orders clear, and our duty done Amidst the trenches, we hold our ground For Kaiser and Fatherland, tear them all down With every charge, the banners we fly We fight for honor, with every try Above the Boar, the Eagle soars high Though we may die, our spirits soar high Atonement bound, we reach for the sky
