Pulled into war to serve a vision
 That's supposed to last a thousand years
 Part of a machine unstoppable
 As merciless as tidal waves

 Were they the victims of the time
 Or proud parts of lager goals?
 Propaganda of the Reich masterful machine

 Time and again the battle rages on
 Beyond the gates of misery
 As casualties rise and millions die around them
 Did they see it all?

 Crazy mademen on a leash
 Or young men who lost their way?
 Grand illusions of the Reich
 May seem real at times

 Panzers on a line
 Form the Wehrmacht's spine
 Lethal grand design
 What about the men executing orders?

 Ad victoriam
 Ex machina
 Non sibi sed patriae [x2]

 Pulled into war to serve a vision
 That just didn't last a thousand years
 Part of a machine
 Though stoppable as merciless as tidal waves

 Crazy mademen on a leash
 Or young men who lost their way?
 Grand illusions of the Reich
 May seem real at times

 Panzers on a line
 Form the Wehrmacht's spine
 Lethal grand design
 What about the men executing orders?
