[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Were they the victims of the time
Or proud parts of larger goals?
Propaganda of the Reich
Masterful machine
[Verse 3]
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?
[Pre-Chorus]
Crazy madmen on a leash
Or young men who lost their way?
Grand illusions of the Reich
May seem real at times
[Chorus]
Panzers on a line
Form the Wehrmacht's spine
Lethal grand design
What about the men executing orders?
Panzers on a line
Form the Wehrmacht's spine
Lethal grand design
What about the men executing orders?
[Solo]
[Bridge]
Ad Victoriam
Ex machina
Non sibi sed Patriae
Ad Victoriam
Ex machina
Non sibi sed Patriae
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Crazy madmen on a leash
Or young men who lost their way?
Grand illusions of the Reich
May seem real at times
[Outro]
Panzers on a line
Form the Wehrmacht's spine
Lethal grand design
What about the men executing orders?
Panzers on a line
Form the Wehrmacht's spine
Lethal grand design
What about the men?
