Sky Graves Over Stalingrad

[Verse 1] Steel wings Frozen dawn Oil smoke veins in the wounded sky Crosshairs Fading star Two ghosts climb Too proud to die Red nose Black cross Engines scream Propellers bite Frostbite Burned eyes Each one hunting the other’s light [Chorus] Sky graves over Stalingrad (Stalingrad!) Clouds split open Teeth of war Sky graves over Stalingrad One will fall The other’s scar Sky graves over Stalingrad (Stalingrad!)

Clouds split open Teeth of war Sky graves over Stalingrad One will fall The other’s scar Sky graves over Stalingrad (Stalingrad!) Flames write names no stone can hold Sky graves over Stalingrad Young hearts traded in for cold [Outro] One plane Black trail Snow drinks fire till the embers fade One plane Limp wings Circles once over shared graves made (Stalingrad…)
