Heaven Shall Burn - Tirpitz lyrics
[Heaven Shall Burn - Tirpitz lyrics]
"Auf Befehl des Führers und
Obersten Befehlshaber der Wehrmacht
Taufe ich dich auf den Namen 'Tirpitz'"
Sitting on watch
In deep and icy boreal fjords
Yet untouchable a man made mountain of cold
Wotan-Stahl
Wielding a silent reign of terror
From afar, northernmost
Summoned to this distant post
Still shrouded under heavy clouds
And worthy crowned by glacial mountain chains
Absolute supremacy
A fleet in being avoided fearfully
By all her enemies
The lonely queen of the north
Raising her lethal scepter
All superior artillery
But doomed to fall as the last of her kind
A cathedral of steel
Dedicated to annihilation and dismay
Wearing the signum of oppression
Surrounded by auroras of perdition
Breathing chemical fog
Even trees refuse to grow
A fleet in being despised abysmally
By all her enemies
The lonely queen of the north
Raising her lethal scepter
All superior artillery
But doomed to fall as the last of her kind
Direct hit's out of clear skies
Twelve thousand pounds
Armor piercing Tallboy bombs putting an end
To her command the death knell sounding
Over this iron tomb
Now through the clouds above the
North coast of Norway
The camera of an Australian Lancaster spots
The Tirpitz in the Tromsø fjord
Smokescreens stream around the
Great battleship
But earthquake bombs drop toward
The target and hit
Flak puffs dangerously around the plane
An earthquake bomb bursts on the shore
But three others hit the Tirpitz fore, aft
And amidships below in Tromsø fjord, as
The Tirpitz keels over, shrouded in smoke
The shadow of Nazi conquest
Shrinks from the north
Obersten Befehlshaber der Wehrmacht
Taufe ich dich auf den Namen 'Tirpitz'"
