Where all the roads have ended lyrics

Where all the roads have ended

The path we walk does not

The land that we defended

Has all begun to rot

Our hearts have burned

So pained and spurned

That's how we're all forsaken now in the gray no-man's-land

Perhaps we will never return to our dearest homeland

My Father, Mother, Sister

my purpose and my pain

The orchestra of canons

holds nothing left to gain

The Captain cries

Bring their demise

Our blood is given in devotion to the emperor

Within the bloody thunderstorm of the condemned French horde

The fieldpost is lost now

the mud is ankle deep

Some roots that smell like corpses

are all we have to eat

We've gone astray

So cold we stay

Our dearest ones we've been without for an entire year

But now we must protect the East from the crazed Russians here.

The clouds are moving east now,

the towns are burning down

The youthful men are dying

for death is all around

They burned the land

In hand, just sand

The eyes that dare look on the land are met with ghastly war

Like them, will I soon lie in a cold grave forevermore?

Wir sind verloren. (Note: We are lost)

Wir sind verloren.

Wir sind verloren.

Wir sind verloren.

I walk the line of corpses,

for here so many lie.

Just yesterday they guessed not

that this would be goodbye

Who knows? Not us.

Our grand purpose.

Who knows how long the sun will shine before I will be free.

I'll only know that I'm deceased when Mother cries for me.

Wir sind verloren.

Wir sind verloren.

Wir sind verloren.

Wir sind verloren.
