lyrics

When Britain declares war on them
We Respond
As do we!
To defend the Old country

To the Motherland we will pledge
Our last Man
Our everything
Down to our final schilling

Adventure appeals to them
So they sign
The dotted line
Blind to the horror that awaits

With NZ boys they’re on to ships
And Sail to
The Pyramids
They’re anointed The Anzacs

First
Assignment
Was
To Tackle
The Turks in Gallipoli

Land
In a cove
In April
1915

With no idea of
The immediate
Danger that they’re in

Through thorny scrub
Up rocky heights
Ambush begins

Over
The coming days
Kilometres
Of trenches made
Sniper Fire
And shelling
Denying them
From Advancing

Bullets whistle past their ears now

Withdraw our troops
From the fields
Exit from Gallipoli
Many men not coming home

Even more now lay in beds
Wounded, Shattered
Broken men
The fit move on to fight once more

In Palestine, deployed again
The western front
As well in France
To defeat the German force

During day and night they fought
To preserve
Our way of Life
To these brave men we owe it all

INVOKE THEIR SPIRIT!

They went to war – To defend us
They went to war – For our freedom
They went to war – And gave their own lives
They went to war – We will remember them!

First
Assignment
Was
To Tackle
Turks in Gallipoli

Land
In a cove
In April
1915

No idea of
The immediate
Danger they’re in

Through thorny scrub
Up rocky heights
Ambush begins

The Anzac spirit lives on in us

Coagulating Darkness

Pretty much the best Black/Speed Metal I've listened to since I learned about Evil Invaders and Vulture. Everything you'd love to be reminded of about this musical era is there. The influences are what you'd expect too: Motörhead, Venom, Bathory, early Slayer, Celtic Frost; aggressive vocals, tortured guitar solos, pounding drums; everything is fast, clear and still a little grimy, but without reverb cranked up to the max. Amazing band, amazing album. Odiumediae
