Hail Of Bullets - The Lake Ladoga Massacre lyrics

rate me

One last natural obstacle

The Luga river crossed

Determined to take Leningrad

No matter the cost

Not the final storm attack

Awe and disbelief

Build up the surrounding

A city under siege

Man the ramparts

and the barricades

Attempts fail to break

through this blockade

In a circle of hostility

Easy target for artillery

Intruder fire

comes from everywhere

Inhabitants

completely unprepared

Provision depots go up in flames

Replenishments burn down

whilst on their way

Stocks increasing, low rations

In the clasp of starvation

Famine stirs up apathy

Hunger seals their destiny

Skeletons once humans

Consuming saw-dust bread

Meal of glue a substitute

As they starve to death

With all windows broken

It begins to freeze

Starvelings collapsing

Bodies pave the street

Over Lake Ladoga

Logistics on the ice

Evacuate the wounded

Bringing in supplies

900 days it lasted

The brutal cruel bloodshed

The massacred children

Never to forget<br />

<br />
