Bound For Glory - Behold The Iron Cross Lyrics
Sirens are wailing, systems are failingAnother line has been overrunBombers in the air, raining hatred and despairSo many that they cover the sunCall the counterattack, drive the enemy backThrough their lines we must break throughWith full scale fighting, our charge becomes lightningBreaking the red army in twoFrom foxhole to foxhole, over barbed wireDodging the enemy minesPast fallen comrades into the face of deathI charge the enemy linesFrom the deserts of Africa to the Russian steppesI've battled through the heat and the coldEach scar tells you a storyAnd that's why I behold, the iron crossBehold, the iron crossBehold, the iron crossBehold, the iron crossArmored divisions pound their positionsCall in the stuka attackPast screaming rockets, we break the encircled pocketNever to look backStubborn resistance, full scale persistenceOrders from the high commandMake the stand to the last man it's all for the fatherlandBogged in mire under constant fireAtrocity victims lie dead in the snowThe guerrilla hunt will be swift and bluntReprisals will be tenfoldI was awarded for my fierceness in battleEven though it all seemed lostCrossed swords and oak leaves nowDecorate my cross! behold, the iron crossBehold, the iron crossBehold, the iron crossBehold, the iron crossPanzers rolling death bell tollingA nations loss never to be healedSmoke and fire a funeral pyreCharred remains litter the battle fieldAgony screams shattered dreamsAnother life is lostInsanity growsLimbs are froze in the dead of the winters frostHard as steel nothing I feelHonor has healed my woundsMachine gun bursts quench my thirstMy bayonet is perched to run you throughExploding shells frozen hellsI've survived my every testSkorzeny, Meier, Florian GeyerI've fought beside the very bestBEHOLD!
