Shattered pt2 Lyrics

Meet me at the frontiers

The front

The line is spreading out

Towards the Ardennes run

Race to meet invaders

Race to invade their land

This war is all consuming

It is clear make a stand

Joffre now orders

The French to move forward

Towards the Ardennes Forest

And the cities on its borders

The thirs and fourth army

Mobilize begin to move

But the enemy is ambiguous

A cautious mood

The Germans dig in

Fortified artillery

A common narrative

Early on yes it would seem

A sound strategy

Counting on the French aggression

Lure them along into the heat

Their guns the lesson

That they will teach

Through the smoke and the fire

The rain starts to fall

And the fog is creeping higher

Casualties are mounting

For the French in this battle

Eventually pushed back

To where they start somewhat rattled

All this destruction will rattle

On the eve of every battle

Life is cast away like it mattered

At all

The guns and bombs

Leave you shattered

On the frontier

On the frontier

On the frontier

On the frontier

Meet me at the frontier

Wait till you see it

The desperation

In this struggle start to feel it

Now to Sambre

The battle of Cherleroi

The French had to march

A long way to deploy

The Germans stood opposite

Across the Meuse River

And the fight that ensues

Starts to turn this war bitter

For the French they hesitate

To make sure the plan is right

The Germans unleash an attack

They take the fight

The Germans capture

The bridges you see

Their firepower overwhelming

It runs deep

But the French try to move across

And retake what they can

But once again get repulsed

In the center every man

So the order to evacuate

Namur is announced

The French retreat from the Ardennes

They've been bounced

And this is the final

Maneuvers they will make

In the battle of the Frontiers

Unsure is their fate

All this destruction will rattle

On the eve of every battle

Life is cast away like it mattered

At all

The guns and bombs

Leave you shattered

On the frontier

On the frontier

On the frontier

On the frontier

The frontier

The frontier

The frontier

The frontier

The Germans now take

the initiative moving forward

Forward

The french fall back

To defend many cities

From the horror, the horror

Foreign invaders

And long time nemesis

This fights been brewing

For a long time like this

The Germans look to locate

The British expeditionary force locate

Many people

Start to flee from the cities

Brutality is a rumor

That just lingers

In the air

Both sides

Kings and leaders

They really don't care

Human life devalued

This war they will compare

With other devastation

In human history

Both sides

Now they prepare

The Germans try to

Envelop allied forces

But face the same problem

Of locating where to focus

Battle of Mons

It is August tewnty third

The line is being set

For both sides to endure

If you won the battle

You have not won the war

It was supposed to be quick

But it continues ever more

On the frontier

This War

Continues

Forevermore
