Behold The Iron Cross Lyrics - Singles - Bound For Glory

Sirens are wailing, systems are failing 

Another line has been overrun 

Bombers in the air, raining hatred and despair 

So many that they cover the sun 

Call the counterattack, drive the enemy back 

Through their lines we must break through 

With full scale fighting, our charge becomes lightning 

Breaking the red army in two 

From foxhole to foxhole, over barbed wire 

Dodging the enemy mines 

Past fallen comrades into the face of death 

I charge the enemy lines 

From the deserts of Africa to the Russian steppes 

I've battled through the heat and the cold 

Each scar tells you a story 

And that's why I behold, the iron cross 

Behold, the iron cross 

Behold, the iron cross 

Behold, the iron cross 

Armored divisions pound their positions 

Call in the stuka attack 

Past screaming rockets, we break the encircled pocket 

Never to look back 

Stubborn resistance, full scale persistence 

Orders from the high command 

Make the stand to the last man it's all for the fatherland 

Bogged in mire under constant fire 

Atrocity victims lie dead in the snow 

The guerrilla hunt will be swift and blunt 

Reprisals will be tenfold 

I was awarded for my fierceness in battle 

Even though it all seemed lost 

Crossed swords and oak leaves now 

Decorate my cross! behold, the iron cross 

Behold, the iron cross 

Behold, the iron cross 

Behold, the iron cross 

Panzers rolling death bell tolling 

A nations loss never to be healed 

Smoke and fire a funeral pyre 

Charred remains litter the battle field 

Agony screams shattered dreams 

Another life is lost 

Insanity grows 

Limbs are froze in the dead of the winters frost 

Hard as steel nothing I feel 

Honor has healed my wounds 

Machine gun bursts quench my thirst 

My bayonet is perched to run you through 

Exploding shells frozen hells 

I've survived my every test 

Skorzeny, Meier, Florian Geyer 

I've fought beside the very best 

BEHOLD!
