Sirens are wailing, systems are failing

Another line has been overrun

Bombers in the air, raining hatred and despair

So many that they cover the sun

Call the counterattack, drive the enemy back

Through their lines we must break through

With full scale fighting, our charge becomes lightning

Breaking the red army in two

From foxhole to foxhole, over barbed wire

Dodging the enemy mines

Past fallen comrades into the face of death

I charge the enemy lines

From the deserts of Africa to the Russian steppes

I've battled through the heat and the cold

Each scar tells you a story

And that's why I behold, the iron cross

Behold, the iron cross

Behold, the iron cross

Behold, the iron cross

Armored divisions pound their positions

Call in the stuka attack

Past screaming rockets, we break the encircled pocket

Never to look back

Stubborn resistance, full scale persistence

Orders from the high command

Make the stand to the last man it's all for the fatherland

Bogged in mire under constant fire

Atrocity victims lie dead in the snow

The guerrilla hunt will be swift and blunt

Reprisals will be tenfold

I was awarded for my fierceness in battle

Even though it all seemed lost

Crossed swords and oak leaves now

Decorate my cross! behold, the iron cross

Behold, the iron cross

Behold, the iron cross

Behold, the iron cross

Panzers rolling death bell tolling

A nations loss never to be healed

Smoke and fire a funeral pyre

Charred remains litter the battle field

Agony screams shattered dreams

Another life is lost

Insanity grows

Limbs are froze in the dead of the winters frost

Hard as steel nothing I feel

Honor has healed my wounds

Machine gun bursts quench my thirst

My bayonet is perched to run you through

Exploding shells frozen hells

I've survived my every test

Skorzeny, Meier, Florian Geyer

I've fought beside the very best

BEHOLD!
