Bound For Glory Behold The Iron Cross Lyrics

Behold The Iron Cross Lyrics

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!
