[Verse] Mud in my teeth blood in my spit Crows in the sky screaming they don’t quit Rats in the trench shadows that crawl Verdun’s a graveyard we’re building a wall Steel rains down tearing through air Bones snap loud nobody cares This ain’t no glory this ain’t no pride It’s just who lives and who’s buried inside [Chorus] Verdun’s fire never fades We’re all ghosts in the charred cascades Fight to breathe fight to stand A thousand deaths for a mile of land [Verse 2] Boots sinking deep smoke eats the sun Gas burns the lungs till the soul comes undone Cries in the dark prayers to the void Hope is a weapon that’s already destroyed Bayonets flash close combat screams Life’s just a whisper tearing at seams The ground is alive with echoes of pain Verdun’s a curse carved into the slain [Bridge] The sky spits ash the earth bleeds red A carousel spinning the living and dead Round and round no end no peace The dance of despair that will never cease
