The Enemy

Abattoir

A cry of pain and shout 
The call of war is out 
Roaring guns throughout the night 
Gothic lines stare in fright 
Bodies burn and ash from flame 
Treaties here won't save the pain 

The enemy...the enemy's around 
The enemy...taking more ground 
The enemy...the enemy is here 
The enemy...the enemy is fear 

A deserter of the field 
Is shot as he yields 
Courage for the damned 
Whose bodies return to sand 

The enemy...the enemy's around 
The enemy...taking more ground 
The enemy...the enemy is here 
The enemy...the enemy is fear 

Be strong thru the battle 
And not a spoil of war 
Those who retreat 
Suffer evermore 
A wound is a blessing 
Though you feel pain 
Cowards die slow 
Heroes don't go... 

You're winning the battle 
But losin' the war 
Look at your allies 
Fearing the sword 
Alone in the dark 
A soldiers last mark 
A violent life 
A cut-throat's knife... 

Heading north the race is on 
Reach the alps before they come 
Be brave and hold your guns 
Get ready the charge is on... 

The end is near the earth is gone!!!
