Cross Of Lorraine

In the caverns of our fathers land We sought refuge, we sought answers We sought shelter, we sought victory and truth They came to claim my homeland Marching goose-step, thieved and plundered Trampling freedoms, raising foreign flags upon our squares Sheltered by a crevice with my rifle against my shoulder There are some causes worth offering a miniscule life I fought for honor, when they stripped it from me I fought for valor, clutched defiance, they called me unworthy Command allegiance I spit in their faces Commanding horrors Their atrocities against mankind, blood on their hands They crush the Cross of Lorraine While my own brothers raise white flags of collaboration Chastising those who dare to raise a fist of opposition We struggle for survival against a backdrop of attrition The withered populations forced to serve their sly oppressors Tarnish the earth (Tarnish the earth) Carnage in their wake For a fiendish vision our humanity at stake Tarnish the earth (Tarnish the earth) Tarnish the earth (Tarnish the earth) Tarnish the earth (Tarnish the earth) Tarnish the earth Sheltered by a crevice with my rifle against my shoulder There are some causes worth offering a miniscule life I fought for honor, when they stripped it from me I fought for valor, clutched defiance, they called me unworthy Command allegiance I spit in their faces Commanding horrors Their atrocities against mankind, blood on their hands They crush the Cross of Lorraine My wife fears I won't see my daughter reach age three But I'd rather she live fatherless and free Sheltered by a crevice with my rifle cocked defiant The milicien traitors they will come to know my vengeance How will they cleanse their hands of all the lives that they have taken They will come to meet their maker, bloody Judas, bloody Judas
