Rushing along the smooth road after the great purge
Sentenced civilian saboteurs
The idealism of the men fades away now
Brought to a halt by endlessness

Leading us all into the noble disaster
Rejoin the battle; no respite
Outmanned and out-gunned, pile of staggering victims
We're playing a part in widespread lies... please lead me

Come and save me from agony
Bear a wreath to my cenotaph
And before long you will see
That history will ambush us

All the years we spent in vain
All the years we spent in pain
True believers, follow me
Come (and) taste my stainless steel

We're taking part in executions of millions
Caught up in circumstances' maze
Mass deportation, squads of terror on duty
In order to reach the goal of victory

Adapt to a lifestyle; hardship, horror and hatred
Personal instrument of death
Doctrines of conquest from belligerent powers
Ultimate cataclysmic showdown... please lead me

Come and save me from agony
Bear a wreath to my cenotaph
And before long you will see
That history will ambush us

All the years we spent in vain
All the years we spent in pain
True believers, follow me
Come (and) taste my stainless steel

The stalemate goes on with bodies stuck in the streets
But this unspeakable moment will not last
Burst over borders, stop the three-pronged offensive
No one will find salvation; tension's high

The premise for war will make the first move to strike
No longer bound by oath, lightning campaign
Yet neither side dares make the first move to strike
After collecting the dead, a shot rings out

Come and save me from agony
Bear a wreath to my cenotaph
And before long you will see
That history will ambush us

All the years we spent in vain
All the years we spent in pain
True believers, follow me
Come (and) taste my stainless steel
