00:00 IRON MAIDEN – TAILGUNNER (1990)
Trace your way back fifty years
To the glow of Dresden, blood and tears
In the black above by the cruel searchlight
Men will die and men will fight, yeah
Who shot who and who fired first?
Dripping death to whet the bloodlust
No radar lock on, skin and bone
The bomber boys are going home
Climb into the sky, never wonder why
Tailgunner, you’re a Tailgunner
Climb into the sky, never wonder why
Tailgunner, you’re a Tailgunner
Climb into the sky, never wonder why
Tailgunner, you’re a Tailgunner
Climb into the sky, never wonder why
Tailgunner, you’re a Tailgunner
Nail that Fokker, kill that son
Gonna blow your guts out with my gun
The weather forecast’s good for war
Cologne and Frankfurt? Have some more, ha ha ha!
Tail end Charlie in the boiling sky
The Enola Gay was my last try
Now that this Tailgunner’s gone
No more bombers, one big bomb, yeah hey, ooh
Climb into the sky, never wonder why
Tailgunner, you’re a Tailgunner
Climb into the sky, never wonder why
Tailgunner, you’re a Tailgunner
Climb into the sky, never wonder why
Tailgunner, you’re a Tailgunner
Climb into the sky, never wonder why
Tailgunner, you’re a Tailgunner

04:16 MOTORHEAD – 1916 (1991)
Sixteen years old when I went to the war
To fight for a land fit for heroes
God on my side, and a gun in my hand
Chasing my days down to zero
And I marched and I fought and I bled and I died
And I never did get any older
But I knew at the time that a year in the line
Was a long enough life for a soldier
We all volunteered, and we wrote down our names
And we added two years to our ages
Eager for life and ahead of the game
Ready for history’s pages
And we brawled and we fought and we whored ’til we stood
Ten thousand shoulder to shoulder
A thirst for the Hun, we were food for the gun
And that’s what you are when you’re soldiers
I heard my friend cry, and he sank to his knees
Coughing blood as he screamed for his mother
And I fell by his side, and that’s how we died
Clinging like kids to each other
And I lay in the mud and the guts and the blood
And I wept as his body grew colder
And I called for my mother and she never came
Though it wasn’t my fault and I wasn’t to blame
The day not half over and ten thousand slain
And now there’s nobody remembers our names
And that’s how it is for a soldier

08:03 JUDAS PRIEST – SOME HEADS ARE GONNA ROLL (1974)
You can look to the left and look to the right
But you will live in danger tonite
When the enemy comes he will never be heard
He’ll blow your mind and not say a word
Blinding lights-flashing colors
Sleepless nights
If the man with the power
Can’t keep it under control
Some heads are gonna roll
Some heads are gonna roll
Some heads are gonna roll
Some heads are gonna roll
The power-mad freaks who are
Ruling the earth
Will show little they think you’re worth
With animal lust they’ll devour your life
And slice your word to bits like a knife
One last day burning hell fire
You’re blown away
If the man with the power
Can’t keep it under control
Some heads are gonna roll
Some heads are gonna roll
Some heads are gonna roll
Some heads are gonna roll
Know what it’s like
When you’re taken for granted
there goes your life
It’s so underhanded
If the man with the power
Can’t keep it under control
Some heads are gonna roll
Some heads are gonna roll
Some heads are gonna roll
Oh-no!
Some Heads are gonna roll
Oh-no! (Some heads are gonna roll)

12:11 SEPULTURA – TERRITORY (1993)
Unknown man
Speaks to the world
Sucking in your trust
A trap in every word
War for territory
War for territory
Choice control
Behind propaganda
Poor information
To manage your anger
War for territory
War for territory
Dictators’ speech
Blasting off your life
Rule to kill the urge
Dumb asshole speech
Years of fighting
Teaching my son
To believe in that man
Racist human being
Racist ground will live
Shame and regret
Of the pride
You’ve once possessed
War for territory
War for territory

16:58 IRON MAIDEN – THE TROOPER (1993)
You’ll take my life, but I’ll take yours too
You’ll fire your musket, but I’ll run you through
So when you’re waiting for the next attack
You’d better stand, there’s no turning back
The bugle sounds, the charge begins
But on this battlefield, no one wins
The smell of acrid smoke and horses’ breath
As I plunge on into certain death
The horse, he sweats with fear, we break to run
The mighty roar of the Russian guns
And as we race towards the human wall
The screams of pain as my comrades fall
We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
And the Russians fire another round
We get so near, yet so far away
We won’t live to fight another day
We get so close, near enough to fight
When a Russian gets me in his sights
He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow
A burst of rounds take my horse below
And as I lay there gazing at the sky
My body’s numb and my throat is dry
And as I lay forgotten and alone
Without a tear, I draw my parting groan
