Arrival. The Meuse-Argonne
Lyrics
Arrival
The Meuse-Argonne offensive started like clockwork
We planned to break through the Hindenburg line
I know what we are fighting for
Hopefully to end the war
On the second of October
We entered and entrenched in the Argonne forest
Hill 198 was our goal
I know what we are fighting for
Hopefully to end the war
Blood, guts, bayonets and shells
Kleiftroops attack with the flame
In the Argonne forest we're buried alive
Let the mud flow through my veins
Burst in the front, explosion behind
My comrades get torn apart
Our field artillery made a mistake
By friendly fire we died
We are along the road parallel 276
Our own artillery is dropping a barrage directly on us
For heaven's sake stop it
Departure
This battle was the deadliest in US history
Our losses were 26 thousands of human lives
What are we fighting for?
Don't mess with the war
The Meuse-Argonne offensive started like clockwork
We planned to break through the Hindenburg line
I know what we are fighting for
Hopefully to end the war
On the second of October
We entered and entrenched in the Argonne forest
Hill 198 was our goal
I know what we are fighting for
Hopefully to end the war
Blood, guts, bayonets and shells
Kleiftroops attack with the flame
In the Argonne forest we're buried alive
Let the mud flow through my veins
Burst in the front, explosion behind
My comrades get torn apart
Our field artillery made a mistake
By friendly fire we died
We are along the road parallel 276
Our own artillery is dropping a barrage directly on us
For heaven's sake stop it
Departure
This battle was the deadliest in US history
Our losses were 26 thousands of human lives
What are we fighting for?
Don't mess with the war
