Operation Winter Mist

The Cold Front

Operation Winter Mist


Fortified defensive position
On the cold front, holding the line
Tranquility interrupted
By an artillery barrage
Winter blitz bombs fall from the sky
They rocked, trembled, tremored and turned
The earth
Exhuming the bodies of the fallen
And took the lives our comrades

Shockwave scorched flesh falls from the bone
Unearth, the rotten horrors of war
The scourge set free
Spreading plague and disease
Corpse rats grow fat off dead flesh
Trench rats stripped the flesh from the bone

Cold steel and concrete
Hedge hogs and dragons teeth
Barbwire with trip wires
Carbines and mixed landmines
Caught within the crossfire
Few survived the cold front

High velocity 88 salvos
Cold front equals ground zero
Rocket volley arches through the sky
Crashing down with rolling thunder

As the enemy advanced on all fronts
We stopped them cold in their tracks
With fanatical resistance
Resist them
No retreat, no surrender
Not one step back
