Wehrmacht
Sabaton · Coat of Arms [2010]
Pulled into war to serve a vision that's supposed to last a thousand years
Part of a machine unstoppable as merciless as tidal waves
Were they the victims of the time or proud parts of lager goals
Propaganda of the reich masterful machine
Time and again the battle rages on beyond the gates of misery
As casualties rise and millions die around them did they see it all
Crazy madmen on a leash or young men who lost their way
Grand illusions of the reich may seem real at times
Panzers on a line form the Wehrmacht's spine
Lethal grand design
What about the men executing orders [X2]
Ad victoriam
Ex machina
Non sibi sed patriae [X2]
Pulled into war to serve a vision that just didn't last a thousand years
Part of a machine though stoppable as merciless as tidal waves
Crazy madmen on a leash or young men who lost their way
Grand illusions of the reich may seem real at times
Panzers on a line form the Wehrmacht's spine
Lethal grand design
What about the men executing orders
Panzers on a line form the Wehrmacht's spine
Lethal grand design
What about the men?
