Lyrics Red Terror - Shrapnel

Red Terror

Trapped, the rat begins to gnaw
Finds its way through tooth and claw
Through flesh and bone to get away
From the heat the wraps its iron cage
Victims screaming «mercy, please!»
Death please come and give release
Crawl inside the open corpse
Escaping death, providing more
Cause of revolutionary war
Trial by fire
The end of persecution of the poor
Bloodstained red terror
The furnace waits for those who stand
In the way of our demands
The streets of Kharkov painted red
Hanging men, parading death
Peel the skin from shaking hands
Gloves are formed from ghostly strands
Clergy, preachers, mouth of lies
Buried screaming for divine
The murder count has been reversed
Strength of change must be preserved
Beginning of their sorrows
A dawning of a dead tomorrow
Cause of revolutionary war
Trial by fire
The end of persecution of the poor
Bloodstained red terror
The furnace waits for those who stand
In the way of our demands
The streets of Kharkov painted red
Hanging men, parading death
The furnace waits
The knots are tied
Chambers loaded
Time to die
To rid the opposition
Hit them at the source
A fear like no other fear
Spill the blood with no remorse
Cleanse the dirt and start again
A row of dead forsaken men
Put on trial, a trial by fire
Bloodstained red terror
Cleanse the dirt and start again
Bloodstained red terror
A row of dead forsaken men
Bloodstained red terror
