Stalingrad, Massengrab

"NOT ONE STEP BACK"
 Severity commands, dehumanize the enemy
 In a hell on earth, which no living thing could survive
 Clutched in a sequence of mass graves
 Life - and the lack of it - became clearer each day
 I watched as the bodies hung from
 The frozen trees that cloaked the Volga
 And beneath an oblivion sky the
 Frantic cried to the streets that bore them
 I watched as the fires scorched the million hands that bound a nation;
 Where life - and the lack of it - became clearer each day
 I watched as the bodies hung from
 The frozen trees that cloaked the Volga
 And beneath an oblivion sky sung the threnody to finis germaniae
 I watched the fires scorch humanity of its humanity
 And like a gravestone over Stalingrad
 The god of war had gone to the other side
 In spasm to power
 Not one step back
 In spasm to power
 Not one step back
 "...And there is no room on the other side."
