Rushing along the smooth road after the great purge

Sentenced civilian saboteurs

The idealism of the men fades away now

Brought to a halt by endlessness



Leading us all into the noble disaster

Rejoin the battle; no respite

Outmanned and out-gunned, pile of staggering victims

We're playing a part in widespread lies... please lead me



Come and save me from agony

Bear a wreath to my cenotaph

And before long you will see

That history will ambush us



All the years we spent in vain

All the years we spent in pain

True believers, follow me

Come (and) taste my stainless steel



We're taking part in executions of millions

Caught up in circumstances' maze

Mass deportation, squads of terror on duty

In order to reach the goal of victory



Adapt to a lifestyle; hardship, horror and hatred

Personal instrument of death

Doctrines of conquest from belligerent powers

Ultimate cataclysmic showdown... please lead me



Come and save me from agony

Bear a wreath to my cenotaph

And before long you will see

That history will ambush us



All the years we spent in vain

All the years we spent in pain

True believers, follow me

Come (and) taste my stainless steel



The stalemate goes on with bodies stuck in the streets

But this unspeakable moment will not last

Burst over borders, stop the three-pronged offensive

No one will find salvation; tension's high



The premise for war will make the first move to strike

No longer bound by oath, lightning campaign

Yet neither side dares make the first move to strike

After collecting the dead, a shot rings out



Come and save me from agony

Bear a wreath to my cenotaph

And before long you will see

That history will ambush us



All the years we spent in vain

All the years we spent in pain

True believers, follow me

Come (and) taste my stainless steel
