The Future of Warfare (History Version)
[Narrative Intro]
"1914. How peculiar that a single bullet can trigger a chain of events that would change the world forever. Nations will be torn apart, Empires will fall and an entire continent will be set ablaze in the wake of this event. Allies has a triggered in a chain reaction, resulting in a war that sweeps across Europe like a merciless plague. Armies will destroy the land, soldiers dig endless trenches and the shells will leave scars on earth for generations to come. We will also see the birth of some of the most devastating inventions mankind has ever conceived
Born in factories, delivered by engineers, immune to the bullets of the regular soldier, unbothered by the burners of the land... the tank. The future of warfare."
[Intro]
Standing in the line of fire
32 will lead the way
Coming over trench and wire
Going through the endless grey
[Verse 1]
A desolate wasteland
Infernal depiction of hell
The birth of a new way
September 15, 1916
[Pre-Chorus]
The first wave approaches
At Flers-Courcelette
Through fire and brimstone
Breaking away, coming your way
[Chorus]
Standing in the line of fire
32 will lead the way
Coming over trench and wire
Going through the endless grey
Standing in the line of fire
Moving on through the fray
Coming over trench and wire
Live to fight another day
[Verse 2]
The spell has been broken
A new way to wage war has come
The future of warfare
For all to be seen, 1918
[Pre-Chorus]
The new world approaches
Villers-Bretonneux
Mechanized warfare
Breaking away, coming your way
[Chorus]
Standing in the line of fire
32 will lead the way
Coming over trench and wire
Going through the endless grey
Standing in the line of fire
Moving on through the fray
Coming over trench and wire
Live to fight another day
[Guitar solo]
[Chorus]
Standing in the line of fire
Moving on through the fray
Coming over trench and wire
Live to fight another day
Standing in the line of fire
32 will lead the way
Coming over trench and wire
Going through the endless grey
Standing in the line of fire
Moving on through the fray
Coming over trench and wire
Live to fight another day
