Reich in Ruins Lyrics

A clash of two antipodes in a struggle worldwide;
light pierces darkness, darkness devours the light.
Titanic forces fighting, entangled in a total war.
Face of the earth shall be smashed, shaped anew.

Mobilizing the entire strength of one noble nation,
bracing against the onslaught of the eternal enemy.
A strife from times immemorial is now climaxing;
in destructive frenzy, in a rabid killing spree.

From attack to defense, there's nothing but slaughter.
Heroes to be martyred, their bravery never before seen.
A storm of hatred and revulsion engulfs their lives;
utmost devastation is ravaging throughout the Reich.

This war does know neither victory nor defeat.
It is the purification of earth rotten to the core,
the overdue cleansing of a race tainted by mud.
The world's burning, ignited by a thousand suns.

It is blood alone that moves the wheel of history;
carnage and cataclysm become the catalyst of renewal.
Through the thick, black smoke of a world in flames,
the New Dawn of the Golden Age does shine upon us.
