1917 (The Isonzo Front)

Lyrics for 1917 (The Isonzo Front)

The river of grief and pain Forbearing Soča, carries blood to the sea No river has seen so many horrible endings We're advancing forward We're crossing the rubicon We are unstoppable The 5th K.u.K Army We attack again! From May to November Half a million lost The battle raged Their lives cut short, Missa pro defunctis With every surge, the tides shifted away Isonzo front Look at my face It's the last thing you'll see I smell the stench of rot from your mouth I see your fear, and you see my bayonet Slowly you choke on blood as I slit your throat This is the end of everything Your eyes shall no longer see With lifeless glass, you'll gaze at the sky For this marks your end Here only death is real Death is real The Isonzo gory campaign Two years, over one million lost An enormous price Italy paid A fierce and unrelenting test We're advancing forward We're crossing the rubicon We are unstoppable The 5th K.u.K Army We attack again! From May to November Half a million lost The battle raged Their lives cut short, Missa pro defunctis With every surge, the tides shifted away Isonzo front The river of death
