Death or Glory

Death or glory, death or glory
Universal soldier, doomed to live in hell
March forever in the sound and fury
A Roman Gladiator murdered just for sport
Death or glory, death or glory
Blood and iron it's the same old story

I was a Sturmbannfuhrer fighting in Berlin
Death or glory, death or glory
Fight and die forever, burn in bloody hell
I was a Frankish Knight, a Polish Jew

I was at Jutland loading 'till the gun was hot
I was a warrior for Crazy Horse
March forever in the sound and fury
I saw the armored wheels grind and run
I was a Spartan in the Trojan Wars
The lone survivor but no comfort for me

I was at Moscow, burning in my tank
I was a Cossack, fighting for the Czar
I saw a hundred thousand scream and burn
Death or glory, death or glory
I held the Iron Cross, first class with the swords

I was a Viking, Berserker from the North

Killed at Trafalgar without firing a shot
Death or glory, death or glory
I saw a thousand bombers circle in the sky
I saw the firestorm fifty stories high

I swung a saber and I was a young Hussar
Blood and iron it's the same old story
Death or glory, death or glory
I marched with Hitler down the bloody road to war

Death or glory, death or glory

I was with Bonaparte I died at Waterloo
Death or glory, death or glory
Blood and iron it's the same old story
Executioner, judge and jury
I was at Shiloh, marching in the ranks
I was a Russian hero dying for Stalin
March forever in the sound and fury
