The brutal cannon turns around, causing a wicked dans macabre
Atrocity descends to ground, lights candles on Death's candelabra
Wreaks havoc with mighty turret, leaves behind just doom and death
To kill is less than it's to spit, the Tank will take your one last breath!
Air smells with death and gas
Tracks of limbs smash broken glass
The victims flee with cut off parts
They'll build up Tank and help its art
Women and children escaping the field
Men are trying to form them a shield
The Tank will roughly kill them all
Survivors will be left appalled
The Tank of Corpses is near
Spreading just death and fear
You can't escape its shell
I hear a yell!
An army of a thousand men
Faced the Tank to try their hand
No mercy was shown that day,
Machine has brought their lives to end
A pyre of dead bodies lays
In front of what's left of the town
The limbs that have been torn apart
Are Tank's parts now, or mashed down
The sun tomorrow wil rise in red
Lighting the bodies so shortly dead
Partly buried in guts and blood
With traces of gasoline and mud
The people wont’ forget the one
That left the corpses, revealed by sun
A beast of flesh and human bones
It throws all kings down from their thrones
The Tank of corpses is near
Spreading just death and fear
You can't escape its shell
I hear a yell!
