War Wolfe X - Red Zone

Verdun stands in the sun
The ground all around is watered with blood
The dead and shells can be found
In the earth that's razed to the ground and it's rough
The Germans look to mount an offensive building up
Thousands and thousands of men marching tough
To a battlefield that stretched miles and miles
Opposing them the French the sacrifice will be enough
As they descend now over the hills
The Germans they attack with numbers they will feel
Always preceded by artillery shells
The number of which will turn this landscape to hell
The river Meus runs in between both armies
Carving its way through the valley like a knife
They wanna take the mighty fortress of Verdun
And bleed the French dry like the wounded from a gun
But as they march you can hear the sound
Of rifles rattling of shells breaking ground
The germans really seek a divisive victory
So they muster up divisions of men bearing down
On the french positions many villages before them
And none will be spared the onslaught when their found
The landscape is turning into brown and some gray
The blood is being spilled on both sides they will say
Verdun stands in the sun
The ground all around is watered with blood
The dead and shells can be found
In the earth that's razed to the ground and it's rough
Send me home
From the red zone
The red zone
The red zone
The red zone
The red zone
Verdun stands in the sun
A contrast to the scenes of horror it's too much
The french mustered up just waves of men
Their aerial reconnaissance saw what they intend
The Germans are moving many masses of guns
And men headed towards the fortress descend
Down upon them so the French stand tall
Across the river the battle rages who will fall
The germans steam roll through the villages and towns
Taking key positions many names of renown
Beaumont, Bezonvaux, Dumont
Fleury, Louvemont, Ornes and Vaux
After this battle they are left in ruins
Unexploded ordnance makes it conclusive
That no one will ever live here not again
The Red Zone wrought from this battle is the end
That is the result and countless soldiers will fall
Taking plots of land just lose it when they stall
The numbers that are silenced in this battle you can tell
But you'll never understand how this earth was living hell
Both banks of the river are contested so fierce
The Germans keep pushing victory if they pierce
Across the river but the French won't give way
Without a fight this battle sheds blood they will say
Verdun stands in the sun
The ground all around is watered with blood
The dead and shells can be found
In the earth that's razed to the ground and it's rough
Send me home
From the red zone
The red zone
The red zone
The red zone
The red zone
Millions and millions of shells crash into the ground
Millions of shells are fired deafening is the sound
Thousands and thousands of men crash into each other falling down
Thousands of men are killed gaining very little ground
The battle renders this land desolate
A zone of red the struggle so desperate
This war hinges on destruction like this
A zone of red that's devoid of bliss
And now you see why this war
Is infamous
For suffering and ruin all around is the tone
The only color is red in this zone
After many skirmishes and bullets fired
The line remains unchanged never higher
The British are moving towards the Somme so shift gears
The Germans must deploy units there it is clear
And Austria Hungary is threatened by the Russians
So send them to the eastern front much discussion
The french have held the mighty fortress of Verdun
But not without the land withering from their guns
The battle renders this land desolate
A zone of red the struggle so desperate
The war hinges on destruction like this
A zone of red that's devoid of bliss
And now you see why this war
Is infamous
For suffering and ruin all around is the tone
The only color is red in this zone
Verdun stands in the sun
The ground all around is watered with blood
The dead and shells can be found
In the earth that's razed to the ground and it's rough
Send me home
From the red Zone
