[Verse 1]
Ancient hatred wakes again
Poles and neighbors, once as kin
Summer '43, the dark command
Cleanse the land with blade in hand
Friends turn foes in dead of night
Axes gleam in pale moonlight
No mercy shown, no place to run
The slaughter has only just begun
[Pre-Chorus]
Orders given, no turning back
Brotherhood lies dead and black
Steel and fire, the night is cold
Stories lost that won't be told
[Chorus]
Brotherhood dies in the flame
The Volhynia Slaughter quietly came
Neighbors kill with cruel delight
Under cover of the night
Blades fall down in bloody rain
Screams echo across the plain
Blood will soak the earth again
Fields of betrayal always remain
[Verse 2]
Silent villages, then screams arise
Doors kicked in before their eyes
Children hiding, mothers plead
Hacked to death in fields of green
Churches burn with souls inside
Rivers red from genocide
Homes to ashes, lives erased
Hatred's mark on every face
[Pre-Chorus]
Orders given, no turning back
Brotherhood lies dead and black
Steel and fire, the night is cold
Stories lost that won't be told
[Chorus]
Brotherhood dies in the flame
The Volhynia Slaughter quietly came
Neighbors kill with cruel delight
Under cover of the night
Blades fall down in bloody rain
Screams echo across the plain
Blood will soak the earth again
Fields of betrayal always remain
[Bridge]
(Slow, almost spoken, then heavy riff explosion)
Sixty thousand voices stilled
Tortured, broken, brutally killed
No heroes rise from this despair
Only ghosts in the burning air
[Final Chorus – full choir, massive]
Brotherhood dies in the flame
The Volhynia Slaughter quietly came
Neighbors kill with cruel delight
Under cover of the night
Blades fall down in bloody rain
Screams echo across the plain
Blood will soak the earth again
Fields of betrayal... always remain
