Operation Compass lyrics
by Carach Angren
Operation Compass was well underway
Scorching sun
Coarse sand
A horned desert viper slithers through dust
Howling winds
Burning eyes
World War II under British Command
In Egyptian no-man’s land
A silence of the snakes
Before the battle erupts
Oil
Oil
Oil
Oil
Enemy in sight!
Keep low and quiet!
Push forth the Mark VI Light!
Attack!
Bleak tanks rumble, bleached bones crumble
Fresh cannon fodder, brutally slaughtered
Filthy caked crusts of flesh and blood garnish the banks
The onslaught prevails
The desert of death
As the last man standing falls to his knees
