Lyrics

Fresh from Moscow

Over Volga came to comrades’ aid

City in despair

Almost crushed by the Führer’s army

Oh it’s colder than hell

Hitler’s forces advancing

The sound of the mortars

The music of death

A grand symphony

See your friends fall

Hear them pray to the god your country denies

Every man dies alone

And when your time comes you will know that it’s time

Stalin’s fortress on fire

Is this madness or hell

The sound of the mortars

The music of death

We’re playing the devil’s symphony

Our violins are guns conducted from hell

Oh Stalingrad!

Oh Mratnimiat!

Are you playing?

Do you follow the conductor’s lead?

No one knows you

No one cares about a single violin

Play the score of the damned

Know the devil within

Music:Brodén

Lyrics:Brodén
