I try to see and breathe in highly toxic air
Countless bombs mangle Flemish soil
As thunderstorms of steel are raging in black skies
And heavy tank treads crush our rotten bodies

We stray around these unreal moonscapes
Hostile to life, taken away from light we die

Heavenwards, no prayer penetrates these baneful clouds

Wholesale murder is carried by the winds
And black despair is choking all my will to live
Already live in our tombs, we are delivered to doom
No one holds a silent vigil

Heavenwards, no prayer penetrates these baneful clouds
Creeping towards me, suffocation all around us
Delivered and sacrificed to the god of iron
Drowned in gas and strangled by their lies
A battle of attrition

Drowned in gas and strangled by their lies
Waiting for god's decision
