Suppressive Fire Lyrics

Seems this battle lasts forevermore
Can't remember what they‘re fighting for
Got promised a fast glorious war
Instead got fear, terror and gore

Forgot which side is good or bad
Thousands of comrades now lie dead
Suppressive fire, artillery
Relentless war machinery

Detonations rage like thunder
As grenades torn bodies asunder
They sky turned grey
The field turned black
Shellfire formed a barren land

Trapped in the trench
Orientations gone
The reaper takes ‘em one by one
Bullets fly above their heads
No escape from the maze of death
Stand among corpses
Almost deceased
Nurture for the worms to feast
Men swallowed by rain and by mud
Mixed with vomit, dirt and blood

Explosions gas, non-stop vibrations
Nerve damage, lung irritations
Never felt that lost before
This nightmare won‘t stop nevermore

The cannons blasting ever on
Countless hours until dawn
Victory of great illusion
Shellshocked men lost in confusion
Soon their names shall be forgotten
Killed in action, lost and rotten
By the battlefield entombed
By a remorseless war consumed
