Enveloped In Darkness Lyrics

All along the German line lays these canisters

The contents of which are unknown but surely sinister

Created in a lab by scientist far away removed

A chemical made for one purpose win the war soon

Those who have command are just waiting for the right time

For the perfect weather for the wind

To be at their backs for that's the vehicle

That'll carry the chemical to them

Those unsuspecting down wind on the allied front

Carry on the fight to break through desperately they want

It is also the objective on the other side

So they resort to chemicals that will soon give rise

To suffering immeasurable it's a nightmare

A horrible weapon a new way to fight

But is it ethical or honorable I think they hardly care

They just want to win forget what's right

When the gas settles it grabs onto hope

I can't breathe

When the gas sets grasping my lungs

I can't see

We're enveloped shrouded by darkness

The Chemical it seems

We're enveloped this chemical has the properties

To induce suffering

And that's what it's like don't you know

Everything's changing forget what you know

And that's what it's like don't you know

Everything's changing forget what you know

Chemical warfare has been unleashed

Chlorine gas they'll soon know what this means

As it rises high and gets carried by the wind

Those who bare witness what they see they'll reminisce

The gas rises high it's provoked

By German soldiers wearing masks they hardly know what its for

A terrible cloud rises up moving on the wind

Enveloping the region where the allies abode

Just breathing in has now become a lethal chore

The gas as it enters you your lungs are slowly choked

Panic starts to spread down the line of deep trenches

Men gasping for air yes the men are sent reeling

I can't breathe

I can't see

I can't breathe

I can't see

And all you can see if you witness from afar

Is an ominous cloud that makes the vegetation whither

And men grasping at their throats tryna flee

But this is a nightmare that was never foreseen

The purpose of which is to press and take advantage

The outcome of which the death of many who can't stand it

Oh how the rest are left to suffer clinging on to life

The cloud of gas blotted out the sun so forget the light

So just run

Run away and try to mend

Your mind has been broken by the terror from within

Triggered by the gas so fierce it's on the wind

They turned the very air into a weapon breathing in

And what is left behind is just thousands and thousands

Men who lay dead or men just slowly dying

Their faces are tormented how can this be right

I only hope their souls will find peace retake the light

I can't breathe

I can't see

I can't breathe

I can't see

When the gas settles it grabs onto hope

I can't breathe

When the gas sets grasping my lungs

I can't see

We're enveloped shrouded by darkness

The Chemical it seems

We're enveloped this chemical has the properties

To induce suffering

We must win at all cost

No matter what is lost

We must win at all cost

No matter what is lost

The battlefield becomes an apparition

In the Fog

Men are transformed transfixed

Ghoulish features

Because the mask they have to wear

Look like the skull of the reaper
