We are waiting, for the sign to cross
Out of the safety here, attack the boche
One big explosion, there goes the mine
Hawthorn ridge, flattened as a line...

10 Minutes more, and off we go
Will we survive? Nobody knows
My friends are here, wife and kids at home
Will they remember me, when I'm gone?

All is quiet here below
Hear the whistle blow!
Running to the line
We're the ones who live forever
Darkness in our eyes
The death, the deathbringer
Devil in disguise
Dressed in black - the grim reaper
Master of the lies
The death, the deathbringer

Running to their lines
Hear my friends cry
Earth is coloured red
Everybody dies

All is quiet here below
Hear the whistle blow!
Running to the line
We're the ones who live forever
Darkness in our eyes
The death, the deathbringer
Devil in disguise
Dressed in black - the grim reaper
Master of the lies
The death, the deathbringer
