Lyrics

Fighting in the trenches,
Consumed by mud up to our knees
We bunker down, battling the earth
Distracted by the enemy,
The ground beings to eat

Begin the trench rot
The dampness eats us
Death or we amputate
The Fate of trench rot

Holes filled up with mud,
Slowly we will start to rot
Pinned by enemy fire
Do we risk advance?
Face the tanks or meet our doom

Begin the trench rot
The dampness eats us
Death or we amputate
The Fate of trench rot

Stuck between the enemy or the ground below
Cacophony of bombs and steel, the world may never know
Out from the trench, we make our stand, and lay suppressive fire
These walls of earth have been our home, surrounded by barbed wire
It seeps into our clothes and bones, an aching in our souls
We must fight on, and seize the day, defeat them for our goals
The rot will spread, it leads to death, now
It is taking me

My feet start to change
Tingling, itching, turning red
The skin gives in to rot
I watch as my feet fall apart,
Death will now take me

Begin the trench rot
The dampness eats us
Death or we amputate
The Fate of trench rot
