70 years since the end of WW2 in Europe

Although the focus at present is heavily on centennial commemorations of events in WW1, the end of WW2 in Europe on 8 May 1945 was even more significant.  This song about Stalingrad and the visuals sum up the awful 6 years.



Fresh from Moscow
Over Volga came to comrades aid
City in despair
Almost crushed by the Führer's army

Oh it's colder than hell
Hitler's forces advancing

The sound of the mortars
The music of death
A grand symphony

See your friends fall
Hear them pray to the god your country denies
Every man dies alone
And when your time comes you will know that it's time

Stalin's fortress on fire
Is this madness or hell

The sound of the mortars
The music of death
We're playing the devil's symphony
Our violins are guns
Conducted from hell

Oh Stalingrad
Mratnimiat

Are you playing
Do you follow the conductors lead
No one knows you
No one cares about a single violin

Play the score of damned
Know the devil within

The sound of the mortars
The music of death
We're playing the devil's symphony
Our violins are guns
Conducted from hell
