The Hell of Verdun
Distant Past

With severity and viciousness

Enemy bombing was setting in

Shells crackle to the ground

Penetrate the remaining rooftops

Another Explosion with enormous impact

The surroundings tremble, all light extinguished

Pillars of smoke, 40 meters high

Rising from the ground

They shoot a new caliber


Five days under constant fire

A dreadful quest for survival

Before darkness, a short break

Then through the night, furious assault


Soon they proceed to gas-attacks

And blew the chlorine against us

From twelve at night to noon they send

Wave after wave, only masks protecting

Behind the smokescreen they align

Try breaking our front, but in vain

Seven days of static war, afraid to move

The trenches ploughed up


Barrage over our positions

With outrageous fierceness


Immense detonation

They’ve dug the tunnels, now blow us up


We were certain that

The ground attack was to come

After the cloud of dust passed

They stormed our way

Out of the countless holes and shelters

We emerged

Red flare bombs rising

Machine guns appearing

A hail of bullets

Only resistance to the assaulting enemy


The hell of Verdun, the battle of the Somme

Constant renewal of forces to level out the losses

Uncertain future for so many young soldiers

Marching into doom to meet their maker soon


The hell of Verdun, the battle of the Somme

Constant renewal of forces to level out the losses

Nothing is gained, only human souls are lost

Generations wiped out, no proportion to the cost
