Regarding the person that I used to be Clinging to maxims That I once claimed important to myself A strangeness took place Somewhere inside of me Where I once supposed the core Of my soul I'm so tired of fighting myself If I could only give in, I'd be the first one to leave this mess But I'm stuck, like trapped in a ruin Until I become the veteran Of my own war This is my war I feel it's time to leave this state This place, my home Forever from now And never come back Never again But it feels like I'm just left to set it all ablaze Though I'd rather watch the flames Erase the ruin from afar I'm so tired of fighting myself If I could only give in, I'd be the first one to leave this mess But I'm stuck, like trapped in a ruin Until I become the veteran Of my own war From now on I declare war against myself I declare war against myself And I can't let this win over me I can't let this win over me

In this shattered landscape paralysed with fear There is no escape, you scream, nobody hears Mind is frozen, full of dread, none can help you now All around now lay the dead, no life can be found Crawling through no man's land across the mud and wire Regrouped for one last stand, caught in the crossfire Maxim burst, spitting forth a hail of certain death Creating a hell on Earth, gasp at your last breath You may live through this to fight another day The horror of it all will never fade away The pain that grows deep inside your mind Inner tranquility you will never find Lost all senses, far beyond control This inner anguish eats away your soul A living nightmare, all memory now blocked You body shaking, a victim of shell shock Awaiting in your prison cell, the time is drawing near No chance for last farewells, lucidity unclear The court martial has ordered you shall be shot at dawn Tied to a stake, blindfolded, life now gone Shell shock Shell shock Shell shock Shell shock Shell shock Shell shock Shell shock Shell shock

Undefeated No retreat, no respite Acts of valour unrepeated "No pasarán!" the battle cry Still forging on Through advancing years The past now gone Yet the memory remains Filled with pride In victory triumphant Fear denied Until this war is won Undefeated No retread, no respite Acts of valour unrepeated "No pasarán!" the battle cry Undefeated Undefeated When there's nothing left, you cannot take much more Remember who you are and what you're fighting for When you find yourself with your back against the wall Look to your inner strength, take courage, stand tall Still stay strong Life moves on Undefeated Undefeated

Reduced to zero Sum of mankind Result of centuries Humanity's demise Increased by hatred Fuelled by fear Intention resolute The prophecy foretold The end is near Look to the future Erase the past Create new existence Better than the last World free of contempt Malice cannot infest Void of hostility Constructed with respect Through the wreckage Of this land Ripped apart By our own hands Annihilation end of man As the slaughter overran Now behold what has been done Mankind's journey is begun Continuation eternity Recreation identity Reduced to zero Sum of mankind Result of centuries Humanity's demise Increased by hatred Fuelled by fear Intention resolute The prophecy foretold The end is near Rising from the flames No one else to blame Devastation all we knew We stand alone surviving few

How constantly we think of you With hearts and eyes that fill The love in life we had for you In death grows stronger still Let the winds of time blow softly Bells toll for all to hear Gone but not forgotten Throughout the passing years

Onwards into battle one more time The strategy has been planned Passed down from the high command Calm befalls the frontline Prepared to fight ready to die At the point of no return The tension mounts as thoughts converge At zero hour the order comes On the silence of the big guns Across the wire Through the crossfire Keep pushing on All senses gone Into the breach Brutality unleashed Fighting for your life Fist, boot and trench knife Onwards Onwards into battle one more time Onwards Onwards into battle one more time The triumph of this victory Vanquished are the enemy Moving onwards another war Into battle to fight once more
