Campaign In The East Lyrics

Ian Stuart Campaign In The East

On a misty dawn, the spirit was
reborn, on the march to the east
Forward to Ukraine, another massive gain, into conflict
with the beast
Forward into Russia, across the River Don
Victory and glory, the wheels were rolling on

(chorus)
Smash the Red flag of the beast
Yeah, the campaign in the East
Smash the Red flag of the beast
Yeah, the campaign in the east

And on those icy plains, they made
heavy gains, and now the skies were overcast
And when the winter came, nothing seemed the same, and
they just prayed that
they could last
Not so far from Moscow, and near to Leningrad
Victory did evade them now, the weather was so bad

(chorus)

Against the snow and ice, the
soldiers’ sacrifice, the dreams were frozen to their
deaths
And came the endless night, freezing cold and gloomy
light, many soldiers took
their final breath
And then came Stalingrad, the future looked so bad,
even cold had helped the
beast
And near the end of the game, like a plague old Stalin
came
And on humanity he’d feast
Yeah, from the steppes of Russia, onto Poland’s plains
On onward into Germany, the western power waned
