Red Terror - Shrapnel

Trapped, the rat begins to gnaw

Finds its way through tooth and claw

Through flesh and bone to get away

From the heat the wraps its iron cage

Victims screaming «mercy, please!»

Death please come and give release

Crawl inside the open corpse

Escaping death, providing more

Cause of revolutionary war

Trial by fire

The end of persecution of the poor

Bloodstained red terror

The furnace waits for those who stand

In the way of our demands

The streets of Kharkov painted red

Hanging men, parading death

Peel the skin from shaking hands

Gloves are formed from ghostly strands

Clergy, preachers, mouth of lies

Buried screaming for divine

The murder count has been reversed

Strength of change must be preserved

Beginning of their sorrows

A dawning of a dead tomorrow

Cause of revolutionary war

Trial by fire

The end of persecution of the poor

Bloodstained red terror

The furnace waits for those who stand

In the way of our demands

The streets of Kharkov painted red

Hanging men, parading death

The furnace waits

The knots are tied

Chambers loaded

Time to die

To rid the opposition

Hit them at the source

A fear like no other fear

Spill the blood with no remorse

Cleanse the dirt and start again

A row of dead forsaken men

Put on trial, a trial by fire

Bloodstained red terror

Cleanse the dirt and start again

Bloodstained red terror

A row of dead forsaken men

Bloodstained red terror
