...and Then the Bombs Came

Barreling nearly straight down from the sky The first planes of the mass onslaught were the fighters and dive-bombers And then a new sound gradually droned into our ears A sound deep - all encompassing, with no notes in it Just a gigantic faraway surge of doom-like sound It was the heavies, coming on with a terrible slowness in flights of twelve Three flights to a group - in groups stretched out across the sky I thought it would never end ...And then the bombs came

Junge Männer! Hear the call to arms We must stall The allied advance Stop their terror The bomber command We’re in ruins by their hand Here we stand The last line of defence This is where it ends The reign of terror Flaktürme 114s scour the sky If it moves, pacify! Death, heavenly fortified Armed to the teeth Concrete, dug in deep Flaktürme Flaktürme Feuer frei Paint the skies With their blood Our masterpiece Feed the heavens With their souls Have no heart Blow them apart Feuer Feuer frei Feuer Feuer frei The war is lost They've breached all fronts Passed our borders Crossed our rivers Burnt our homes Yet we stand To the bitter end Here we stand The last line of defence This is where we end Where we fall Perished in the flames Just faces with no names We lay down our lives A final sacrifice Here we stand The final sacrifice Just faces with no names Perished in the flames

Saddled with disgraced command Shallow slit trenches, blasted by sand Inexperienced troops were spread thin Dispersed - by harsh terrain The scorching sun blaze - on withered men Exhausted and mauled - slaughtered one to ten Exasperated and exposed, on topographic crests Their ghastly silhouettes were marked for death It was murder! Into the muzzles of concealed eighty-eights they rolled It was murder! Tank after tank, blown to bits, lured into the fold Air superiority was forfeited The gruesome shelling intensified Howling Stukas piling up the dead Their lifeless eyes looks to the sky Another nail in the coffin hammered down Bearing the mark of the Afrika Korps Cold winds of death sweeps the battered ground Grinded into dust, lies the Allied force Before them, the victorious amass Silence falls upon the Kasserine Pass It was murder! Into the muzzles of concealed eighty-eights they rolled It was murder! Tank after tank, blown to bits, lured into the fold Just like so many before them Returned to earth condemned Condemned Just like so many before them Returned to earth condemned Just like so many before them Returned to earth condemned Condemned Condemned Condemned Faded bones In windswept soil Eclipsed by stone In consecrated void

Bolt upright Staring down the sights Still holding firing position Behind the breech of the MG92 Squad arranged By the book But taken out Decrowned His head Decrowned Still in death Throughout eternity About to fire Longing to kill Kill Top of skull Blasted off Brains exposed Scalped by heavy fire Decomposed He met the bitter end Steadfast in defence Frozen in time Redesigned As brass slugs corrode His body rots away No more to be done For his emperor A setting sun His head Decrowned His head Decrowned Decrowned

A message meant to sow despair Defect to escape this senselessness Hear the sound of their sorrow The wailing of the dead The dead The dead No sticks burned No comfort given No rest for wandering soul No end in sight These endless nights No rest for wandering soul The alien noise, clashing cymbals Evocating superstition Wandering in the thousands Bearing eternal hatred No sticks burned No comfort given No rest for wandering soul No end in sight These endless nights No rest for wandering soul By strangers buried In shallow graves No rites, no nothing Disgraced and ravaged No stones risen No incense wreaths There’ll be no peace For the deceased No rest for wandering soul No rest for wandering soul Aimless wanderer Buried far from home Lost and suffering Wandering soul
