Iron Cross, Red Star

[Verse 1] Dawn burns black on the Volga line Stalingrad smoke in a frozen spine Messerschmitt teeth cut the winter air Yellow nose shark Hungry stare LaGG claws up through the broken cloud Oil-stained wings Engine loud Radio hisses Last command Steel vultures circle a dying land [Chorus] Iron cross Red star Closing in Metal fangs Frostbite on the wind Sky turns graveyard over fire and ash Dogfight dance Live or crash Iron cross Red star Face to face Twisting Tearing at the same cold space One last pass Choose your scar Iron cross Red star [Verse 2] Tracer storms rake the bleeding sky Shells carve names where the dead birds fly Canopy glass spitting shards of light Breath turns knives in the throat of night German eyes on a smoking trail Static prayers through a cracked exhale Soviet curses in a fogged-up mask Ghosts of the ground in every gasp [Bridge] Close enough to see his jaw See the fear See the law Two men chained to the same dark roar Both just fuel For someone else's war [Chorus] Iron cross Red star Closing in Metal fangs Frostbite on the wind Sky turns graveyard over fire and ash Dogfight dance Live or crash Iron cross Red star Stitched in flame One falls Nameless Stripped of name Smoke writes epigraphs that never scar Iron cross Red star
