Red Barricades (Red Barrikady)
The Battle of Stalingrad (23 August 1942 – 2 February 1943) was a major battle on the Eastern Front of World War II in which Nazi Germany and its allies fought the Soviet Union for control of the city of Stalingrad (now Volgograd) in Southern Russia, on the eastern boundary of Europe. It was some of the most bitter fighting of the war, the individual battles were fought inch by inch with "gains" sometimes being attributed in feet. Among the most famous battle sites was "The Red October Factory" tractor works--where at times, the tanks rolled right off the assembly line right into battle...
there are actually lyrics i wrote for this track but never recorded:
===============================
The City lies cracked and broken
brick and wood torn askew
From the "people's" work and home
The workers spirit and resolve stands whole
The clouds are black and red
as man and machine spill onto the ground
Steel and blood burn and boil into the sky
The glorious worker lies mangled and twisted
The gunfire tears the air asunder
Death tipped thunder echoes across the people's city
Striking life down like a bolt from the gods
The atheist defends his motherland from the Teutonic hoards
No Alexander Nevsky to stem the tide
New heroes must be born from youths sacrifice
Death gives them their first kiss
no blushing bride to receive their lips
The Factory twisted remains their objective
"The Red Barricades must Fall"
"The Red Barricades must Fall"
"The Red Barricades must Fall"
The "master" must triumph over the worker
No mercy no mercy, all must die
Steel machines rolls over all, Man woman and child
They feel no remorse about the sub-humans
They are animals and must be led to slaughter
The motherland struggles against the Father
The Mother "Red Barricades" protected it worker's—their lives, her charge
Now the roles are reversed as son's defends their Mother
As the "master race" struggles to choke the city, every brick a prize
Every brick their demise as the noose is tightened
Soon cold and hunger will stalk them
A white wolf to mercilessly hunt them down
The city now provides them no shelter
The night will seduce them to lie frozen while promising letters Home
Their tomb now is the Red Barricades, no epitaph for their Bones...
