Cross Of Lorraine Lyrics

In the caverns of our fathers' land we sought refuge, we sought answers

We sought shelter, we sought victory and truth

They came to claim my homeland marching goose-step, thieved and plundered

Trampling freedoms, raising foreign flags upon our squares

Sheltered by a crevice with my rifle ‘gainst my shoulder

There are some causes worth offering a miniscule life

I fought for honor, when they stripped it from me

I fought for valor, clutched defiance, they called me unworthy

Command allegiance

I spit in their faces

Commanding horrors

Their atrocities against mankind, blood on their hands, they crush the cross of lorraine

While my own brothers raise white flags of collaboration

Chastising those who dare to raise a fist of opposition

We struggle for survival against a backdrop of attrition

Withered populations forced to serve their cunning, sly oppressors

Tarnish the earth

Carnage in their wake

For a fiendish vision our humanity at stake.
