The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (inspired by)

*Note: The original source I ripped the source track from used a shortened version of the song, so some lyrics may not line up with the audio. My apologies.*

From The Album "The Art of War"

Lyrics:

Into the motherland the german army march

In the soviet union summer 1943 
Tanks line up in thousands as far the eye can see 
Ready for the onslaught ready for the fight 
Waiting for the axis to march into the trap 
Mines are placed in darkness in the cover of the night 
Waiting to be triggered when the time is right 
Imminent invasion imminent attack 
Once the battle started there's no turning back

The end of the 3rd reich draws near 
It's time has come to an end 
The end of an era is here 
It's time to attack

Into the motherland the german army march 
Comrades stand side by side to stop the nazi charge 
Panzers on russian soil a thunder in the east 
One million men at war the soviet wrath unleashed

Fields of Prokorovka where heat of battle burned 
Suffered heavy losses and the tide of war was turned 
Driving back the germans fighting on 4 fronts 
Hunt them out of russia out of soviet land 
Reinforce the frontline force the axis to retreat 
Send in all the reserves securing their defeat 
Soldiers of the union broke the citadel 
Ruins of an army axis rest in hell

Oh mother russia union of lands 
Will of the people strong in command 
Oh mother russia union of lands 
Once more victorious the red army stands

Sabaton - Panzerkampf

“Some people, were born to sit by a river. Some get struck by lightning. Some have an ear for music. Some are artists. Some swim. Some know buttons. Some know Shakespeare. Some are mothers. And some people, dance.”
