Lyrics
Battle of attrition
Endless game of death
Frontline, going over
Take your final breath
For the lucky, so to speak
Death comes quick and clean
For the many, and for you?
It’s slow and obscene
One million wounded
Five month long slaughter
One million wounded
By fire, gas and mortar
One million wounded
Bloodshed, chaos and grief
One million wounded
Death a blessed relief
Noncombatant targets slain
Civilian suffering
Bomb blast overhead
Perish for God and king
For the lucky, so to speak
Death is swift and brief
For the many, and for us?
No such fast relief…
One million wounded
Five month long slaughter
One million wounded
By fire, gas and mortar
One million wounded
Bloodshed, chaos and grief
One million wounded
Death a blessed relief

WWI themed death/black metal from the Black Country, England.
"Diphosgene was used in World War I as a chemical weapon, deployed in artillery shells to deliver toxic vapours that convert to phosgene, causing severe respiratory damage like pulmonary edema and leading to death.
Diphosgene was developed because the vapours could destroy the filters of the gas masks in use at the time."
