1. Contact - Wait Out
+++++++++++++++++++++
Spent rounds
The coffin nails
On your empires fall
Icy silence
No recourse
All crusibles ignored
Forward into darkness
Futures unknown
Dire incursions rage
No one man stands alone
Await the call
Oncoming storm
Let come what may
The bodies of your dead can wait till dawn
Sentinel of destiny
Enemy engaged
Numbered with the dead
Take your glory to the grave
Peace - dream of the wise
War - the history of man
Once refined, now demonized
Hatred overran
Await the call
Oncoming storm
Let come what may
The bodies of your dead can wait till dawn
Duty bound, to die without defeat
Awaken life immortal, one last bitter retreat
Contact made - wait out
Send command received
When none remain
And all are overrun
+Objectives seized
2. Inside The Wire
++++++++++++++++++
Outer defences neutralized
Lessons in munitions are reprised
Kancet never hammer
Caution must prevail
Concealment deep inside the wire
Where instincts never fail
Through fortified lines
Last phase intercept
Based in destruction
Silently shreds
Exist longer under threat
Engaging to replay the debt
Damage to infliction
Patterns lie half formed
Assaults never retracted
In the hope to halt the war
Laying waste, subversion
Rendering in chaos with dead ammunition
Undermine defences - facilitate
Saboteurs inside the wire - interpenetrate
Inner defensec - eradicate
Inside the wire - too late+too late
3. Honour
+++++++++
Ground assault begins
By order open fire
Vanguard - respect is borne
Proud to hold first battle front+none superior
+None superior
Axis ever turning (advance as one)
War s attrition has begun
Intense the battle harvest
Through the crimson mud
Now thoughts turn and decline
Unswerving loyalty+advance is one
+Advance is one
Weary from the start - at dawn s early light
Silently torn away - unto the end of life
As night has fallen
Far distant horizons afire
Beyond pursiut of victory
In belligerence and pride
A war to end wars
With loyalty above all - except honour
Loyalty above all+
4. Suspect Hostile
++++++++++++++++++
Through the ages
As tensions rise
All hostile and unknown
Witnessing demise
When lives are worthless
Under friendly fire
Suspected hostile
Target acquired
Attained tac - recon - regain misuse
Spying eyes - reap the truth
Evolution proficiency
Air track engagement futility
Visual angle - 12 rad of ark
Filling scores - symbols coming dark
No defiance - gather in all prey
Track rapid fire - impact point displayed
Hostile target verified
Positiob traced - you cannot hide
Mass destruct - initiate the cause
Range within low flight - acquisition within war
All tributaries - ballistics in disruption
Confirmed kills integrity - N.C.T.R. corruption
Escape is to evade
Rancor empowers
It s creation sets the trap
In vertical dimensions
New lightning wars to which man will
Bridge the gap
5. 7-th Offensive
+++++++++++++++++
Shadows amongst the cloudburst
Maelstorm returns
A darkened shroud begins descent
Wasted man secured
As pulses fade
Seventh offensive laid down
Project D.O.4
Hearoes made dishonoured ground
Artillery now silent
Fires forever silent
Chlorine burnt the throat
Of all blood agent kills
Gradients of syndrome
Clouds of war enraged
The day is lost, the night has won
All ends at point blank range
Maximum casualties
The pointless slaughter
Wiped out generations
Man, en masse destroyer
Final road to glory
Surrendered life eternally
No survivors
Now proclsaim the call for victory
6. Valour
+++++++++
Action this day
Ordnance at full release
Frontiers crossed and violated
Remote the chance for peace
Acts of valour
Fortify advocate
Engage a strange alliance
Embittered against hate
Second battle drawing near
March again on darkened moors
Defiant without fear
Belief a mortal cause
Paradoxic triumph
Foretold cost too high
Here gods teach man nothing
Uncensured life decry
Legions robbed of faith
Senses fractured in despair
Main force of hardened souls
Retro-active in nightmares
Lifeless+splinters of man
Counterparts as one
Splinters of man
Counterparts as one
Now in times of peace
Rain falls on lonely graves
Now in times of peace
Rain falls on lonely graves
Vast stone assemblies
Symbolic sacrifice
Known only unto your god
Hold anguish over life
7. K-Machine
++++++++++++
Erasing all known species
Extincion seen
Corrupting with intent
Inhuman kill machine
Superior objectives
Precedence
Killing fields of continents
Attack the best defence
With duty first, directed by your decree
Bleak world divisional, man+the last enemy
Victims on the threshold
Casualties of greed
Dreaming to survive
Mankind now born to breed
Reinforced without belief
Dominance as one
Dictator, sanctify all
Prey to none
With duty first, directed by your decree
Bleak world divisional, man+the last enemy
Carnivorous deception
A dark ability
Zero tolerance evolves
Mass fatalities
Arrogant compulsion
Towards a violent end
When you re digging your own grave in ignorance
You alone descend
The last hunter prevails
Overlord - imposing will
Another life, one more to grieve
Status: probable+kill+confirmed
8. A Hollow Truce
+++++++++++++++++
First hour approaches
Repretuating grief
Empowering to strike down
Sowing the defeat
Their centre - line lies broken
We will not forget
Though faith will never falter
Near life - closer to death
Exhilarated fervour
Fear is for the weak
Another rank and file falls
One more fills the breach
Formation under heavy fire
Unable to strike back
Seized at disadvantage
Retreat harder than attack
View the pre-dawn aura
Carve stone in hollow ground
Dark contract of sorrow
Unknown no names found
Sanity in question
Enemy within
Position of no error
Mortal strenght to win
Traety for an armistice
Revert to battle plan
Entrenched in delusion
The last vestige of man
Forever gone now, memories of the fall
No semblance of an order lost
Lost paths - direction clear once more
9. Pride
++++++++
Epitomizing horror
Echoes it s bleakest past
With willimg replication
Let perspective last
Breaking deadlocks
World bleeding inside
Now the tide is turning
In ever present pride
Strategies executed
All now beyond defeat
Analysis, no rise to flaws
See failure as retreat
Rearguard advantage
Third battle forges close
Forceful and evasive
So proud, yet morose
Seeds of future discord
Suspicion, fear and hate
Never lying dormant
One by one negate
No last offensive
All resistance ceased
Forced down the final path
Forwards into peace
