Lyrics Cryptic Wintermoon

Cryptic Wintermoon

God With Us

God with us standing one by one

Last letter home is done

God with us sing the victory songs

For honour god and fatherland

As time stands still who will remain who is the one to pass

Did you resist while others fell or while they drowned in gas

A generation fading like sand in an hour glass

Young men in trenches gunfire shakes the ground

Did you want to die here were you one of them

Was your wish to leave here to see your family again

Did you ever had a doubt or had you been deceived

Like millions of your comrades who never saw their homes again

God with us here in no mans land erase the best of youth

God with us play the death march for the route down below

Not one to stop not one to hold

In this hell men won't grow old

God with us strong in faith we stand

Handwritten on a yellowed group portrait

Young men with carbines in their hands

Still together carved in stone they lie

A generation damned to suffer working busy on a new world order

One by one almost brothers no hope... and no mother

God with us heroes will be made

But no hero will survive

God with us don't let us be downhearted

Please let death come quick

God with us

Do you hear the silence now

Where once thousand cannons spoke

On the fields where the poppies grow

A mother bemoans her son
