Kanonenfieber - Ausblutungsslacht (English Translation) Lyrics[Intro]
Verdun
[Verse 1]
One rosary
On a dead Man
Ten thousand lost their Lives there
Deployment Order; equal to Self Murder
They lay cold
In Ravens' Wood
For the Flag, for Victory
Fodder only for a bitter War
Shelled and bombed
Fort Douaumont
Scene of French Resistance
The Bulwark weighed on countless Lives
Voie sacrée
The holy way
The Artery of the Blood Pump
Brings a thousand men per Hour
[Refrain]
Verdun, Verdun
Battle of the Century, The Destructive Urge
Burnt white from bloodletting
Verdun, Verdun
Death directed by a Master Hand
Blood and Goods for the Imperial Land
Verdun (Verdun), Verdun (Verdun)
Trust in God for Victory
In the godless War of Attrition
Verdun (Verdun), Verdun (Verdun)
The field campaign they named a Judgment
Justice's Sword firmly in Hand
[Interlude]
"Every man with a sense of responsibility and conscience
Should ask himself whether it would be honest now
To send hundreds of thousands more to the slaughter
For a goal, a goal of conquest, that the overwhelming majority of our people do not want and cannot achieve at all
We renounce the continuation of this war
We renounce hundreds of thousands of dead and hundreds of thousands of crippled
We renounce the daily burdens of hundreds of millions
We renounce the further devastation of Europe
We renounce the illusion that the war will bring a gain that is not ours
For which we would have to make further terrible sacrifices."
[Verse 2]
Falkenhayn
On false Display
War of Attrition; the Battle plan
Verdun serves as his Mass Grave
Au revoir
Philippe Pétain
The bloody Triangle flooded
In blue- and gray soaked in Red
Offensive
With God in War
Fort Vaux under Reinforced Stone
Raynal denies Capitulation
The Iron Cross
A Deadly risk
One piece of Sheet Metal for Heroic Deeds
Bringing men to an early grave
[Refrain]
Verdun, Verdun
Battle of the Century, The Destructive Urge
Burnt white by bloodletting
Verdun, Verdun
Death directed by a Master Hand
Blood and Goods for the Imperial Land
Verdun (Verdun), Verdun (Verdun)
Trust in God for Victory
In the godless War of Attrition
Verdun (Verdun), Verdun (Verdun)
The Field Campaign they named a Judgment
Justice's Sword firmly in Hand
