At The Gates Of Moscow - Eastern Front

Either side assemble as the ground trembles beneath the weight of armour

Tension frays as increasing power is displayed, we are ready awaiting the

slaughter

Artillery barrages pound on defensive lines

Charging infantry sprayed treading on mines

As Tiger and T-34 lock horns…

Artillery barrages pound on defensive lines

Charging infantry sprayed treading on mines

As Tiger and T-34 lock horns

On Soviet battlefields hellish carnage is born

Stukhas swoop down from a smoke choked sky

Unleashing their bombs there is nowhere to hide

The Soviets entrenched holding their line

In defence of their hero city standing behind

Motivated only by the prospect on an honourable death

Soviet soldiers collapse, machine gun fire renders them lifeless

The commissar pistol in hand, rallies his troops as Stalin commands

Charging head-on into Deaths wide open jaws

The commissar pistol in hand, rallies his troops as Stalin commands

Human life expendable, Cannon fodder for the cause

Upon the morning of December 5th 1941

1.1 million Russian infantry ready themselves for a battle that must be won

600, 000 German infantry stand awaiting

Shell fire turns night to day in a land God has long since forsaken

MGs spitting tracer fire, the Russians fall rank by rank, they fell in their

thousands, forever re-enforced.

Picking up the weaponry of the dead they

advance, a hideous wave of death, rising up from the corpse strewn

battlefields…

Picking up the weaponry of the dead they

advance, a hideous wave of death, rising up from the corpse strewn battlefields.

Across the corpse strewn battlefields, frozen soldiers lie… Fathers, Brothers,

resting forever, at the gates… at the gates of Moscow.
