Doomshade - Cross Of Iron lyrics

rate me

You see old Albert setting there his face is full of lines.<br />

You don't know the things he's done somewhere off in time.<br />

He spilled his blood at Stalingrad where he tried to turn the tide.<br />

The bullets rang, the bodies stank, he won the cross of iron.<br />

<br />

Live by the sword, Die by the sword<br />

<br />

Pray for this man aged before his time. Never free to wander away from the front lines.<br />

Bleeding from wounds torn into his mind. When he was a younger man he wore the cross of iron.<br />

<br />

You pass old William on the street and if you look into his face.<br />

You can see the scars from the shrapnel bursts that were meant to seal his fate.<br />

He earned his stripes on a tail-gun of a fortress flying high.<br />

When he rode the wind, dropped the bombs, broke the cross of iron.<br />

<br />

Live with the sword, Die with the sword<br />

<br />

Pray for this man aged before his time. Never free to wander away from the front lines.<br />

Bleeding from wounds torn into his mind. When he was a younger man he fought the cross of iron.<br />

<br />

You'll find old Ian in the pub where he drinks away his days.<br />

He tries drown the memories of his life below the waves.<br />

He sees the Bizmark burning every time he shuts his eyes.<br />

And he can hear the screams of the drowning men as they burn in the lake of fire.<br />

<br />

Live by the sword, Die by the sword<br />

<br />

Pray for this man aged before his time. Never free to wander away from the front lines.<br />

Bleeding from wounds torn into his mind. When he was a younger man he wore fought cross of iron.
