1.
Over the trench into the gas bodies lie exposed rotting and bloated Into the grinder Miles of wasteland twisted hunks of metal dead eye stares pierce the night a bullet to the head ends your fight
2.
Welcome to the frontlines your bed is made from corpses you sleep with the rats the stench of death suffocates Drowned in the mud a bullet to the head keep your wits about you or you’ll wind up dead a bullet to the head another soldier dead Into the bog filled with bodies and blood down into hell if you make a wrong step shelled from above grinded from afar you’re a statistic in the news a casualty of war Gaze upon the field filled with our remains overran in minutes there’s no one but the dead
3.
Arrisen from the mud washed in the blood trapped on this field of battle flesh and bones food for the cattle Time to rejoin the fight time is neither day or night in this hell you cannot end doomed to die and die again
4.
Heavier than air creeping with the wind the fetid gas rolls into the trench too slow to wake gas clenches your throat a few spasms followed by a silent shriek A stench without equal filling your lungs with haste an airborn scourge is bred in the miasmic wastes The hulking nightmare rushes forth terrifying monsters who fear not death crushed beneath the tide of war a flood of bodies ruptures free
5.
Born of War 02:58
I’ll rot in this wretched trench My hatred for humanity grows unchecked the sleepless nights and gore filled days have withered my spirit into nothing war has worn away my soul I hold no hope for mankind I am born of war the embodiement of misanthropy a vessel for the hatred of man let death flow from my hands I have awakened from the deep

7.
Within seconds all my friends are dead men I have known since childhood I am all alone in this earthen crater a contorted corpse screaming in silence I hear the whistle of a falling shell I have no time to react I enjoy my last moment on earth I’ll think back to my home What black magic exists that allows me to breath I remain in my body given a chance to reap Am I immune to the curse of man to walk with death and not feel his touch I have awakened to my imortality I will show no mercy to my enemies
8.
I haunt these barren trenches where men once told tales of home nothing remains but bones and mud shattered dreams and hope forgone on this silent field I found myself among the din and horror of war I am immortal I am eternal I will turn the tide of war I will fight against the horde Until the last shot is fired I will be here among the dead One man cannot change the future but I’m not a man I will strangle the life from enemies I am death incarnate I will bring doom and ruin forced to walk this earth undead I am the doomsayer Hear my wretched call before me all will fall
9.
I grant thee immunity from the kiss and fear of death stand by myside and watch your enemies die I will guide you through this war untouched ungrazed by lead fearless in battle we will rewrite history Only I know the truth of what the future holds we will be viewed as demons but the cities must fall join me in the fight I will show you the truth our future is in danger the savior must be stopped We will form this cult for the ones that choose to die pull the strings to reveal the truth for the ones that chose to lie The future will never know another horror that we were forced to live this is our solemn vow with our breath we will give I grant thee immuntiy from the kiss and fear of death
