A battle so fiercest... so rough
One known for its ferocity
And massive loss not only due to combat
A horror that never dies

It must be not forgotten
In the year of the dead... 1941
Operation Barbaross began
And trail into eternity

The ghosts of the eastern front
Some 30 million dead... dead
A collision of the powers to be
An operation that rings... in eternity
Some 30 million dead... dead
A collision of the powers to be
An operation that rings in eternity

The largest invasion force
In the history of warfare...
Must... be... remembered,
Remembered for what it was
Pushed on be the axis powers
All life lost, and with all the blood spilled
A sacrifice of civilian life
The year of the dead

The ghosts of the eastern front
Some 30 million dead... dead
A collision of the powers to be
An operation that rings... in eternity
Some 30 million dead... dead
A collision of the powers to be
An operation that rings in eternity
Mothers and fathers
They were brothers and sisters
All dead... dead
In the line of fire
For the cause of war

Die Ostfront the eastern front
Die Ostfront an operation scorned in time
Der Ostfeldzug the eastern campaign
Der Ostfeldzug a campaign drenched in blood
