Carnage Beacon

from With Savage Intent by Split The Abyss

/

lyrics

July 1943 Operation Citadel
On the fields of the eastern front
A major German offence
Waiting and then striking east again

Pincer movement North and South
Surround the Kursk salient
Send the panzers and infantry through
Destroy all Soviet resistance

Ignite the fire of the carnage beacon
The world is lost in the blaze
Onward through the smoke and dust
The mechanized ranks are thrust
Roar of guns endless
Grind of treads relentless

Behind miles of trenches wires and mines
The red army prepares and waits
Artillery awakens hell in the dawn of July 5th
Army Groups 5 and 9, Assault Zhukov's lines

Caught in a fortified web.
Bleeding out over the days.
Attrition back and forth.
Fighting for all their worth.

Ignite the fire of the carnage beacon
The world is lost in the blaze
Onward through the smoke and dust
The mechanized ranks are thrust
Roar of guns endless
Grind of treads relentless

At Prokhorovka
A massive armored clash
Black smoke fills the sky
No sight of a winning side
Emotionless weapons, the world at war
The burning carcasses of iron beasts
Shock action, Steel melee




Ignite the fire of the carnage beacon
The world is lost in the blaze
Onward through the smoke and dust
The mechanized ranks are thrust
Roar of guns endless
Grind of treads relentless

After 8 days of fighting.
The offence has been spent
Tanks by the thousands.
Lie wasted in the fields.
Thousands dead in a doomed gamble
The motherland has again endued
The Reich's downfall has begun
