Through drifting clouds of smoke I see my enemy Spied through a weathered lens across a sandy sea I sit encased in steel Sworn to my fatherland My turrets belching death across the desert sands [CHORUS:] Watching Waiting Hunting Destroying Dark mounds engulfed in flames Wrecked by my deadly shells My cannons quake the earth all targets bound for hell and from this foreign desert I shall defend my land My Panzer blasting death across the desert sands [repeat all except replace last stanza with:] Oak leaves and Iron Cross I fight at Rommel's side Next to the desert fox Great odds we will defy Glory and Victory await the reaching hands Of those who follow death across the sands
