The Krieg Death March

Intro

Distant artillery…

Heavy boots marching in perfect rhythm.

A low horn echoes across a ruined battlefield.

Deep voices begin chanting from behind gas masks. ⸻

Verse 1

We were born beneath a broken sky,

Raised where ash replaced the light.

Every breath a debt to pay,

Every dawn another fight.

No names spoken…

No tears remain…

Only orders…

Only pain…Pre-Chorus

Through the smoke…

Through the fire…

Step by step…

The line grows higher…

⸻

Chorus

We are the Death Korps of Krieg!

Forward until the final breath!

No retreat! No surrender!

Duty marches hand in hand with death!

Left… Right…

Left… Right…

The Emperor commands!

We obey! Verse 2

The earth shakes beneath our feet,

Artillery tears the heavens wide.

Brothers fall without a word,

Another takes his place in line.

Steel and mud…

Blood and rain…

Forward still…

Through the pain…

⸻ Bridge

The whistle blows…

Bayonets lowered…

The silence ends…

The charge begins…

(The music briefly strips back to marching boots and a single military drum before the full choir returns.) Final Chorus

WE ARE THE DEATH KORPS OF KRIEG!

WE DO NOT FEAR THE GRAVE!

FORWARD INTO OBLIVION!

ONLY DUTY SHALL REMAIN!

LEFT… RIGHT…

LEFT… RIGHT…

UNTIL THE LAST MAN FALLS…

⸻ ⸻

Ending

The instruments gradually disappear.

Only marching boots remain.

Left… Right… Left… Right…

The footsteps become quieter…

until nothing remains but the distant sound of artillery fading into silence.
