lyrics

Our path of arrival
was lost before sunrise.
Can’t see the trudger ahead.
Can’t hear the marcher behind.

Rocks collapsed to bury two brothers.
Commandant charges, “Reform your row!”
Pohuy ‘bout Vova, didn’t know the other,
sleeping their last now. “The Sun is low!”
Orders that won’t give us time for grief.
“Those who stand will not need to eat!”
Even taking heat, we freeze to the marrow.
If typhus doesn´t take, we’ll toil tomorrow.

MONGRELS! ZEK WRETCHES! MARCH!

What little there is in his pockets I thief,
few matches, stubs and... ”Dig no grave!”
Deceased so tranquil stare in relief.
May the dead rest. “It’s time to slave!”
The snow glows grim in the red twilight.
“March to the barracks until there is light!”
Each day from home we're more in dire,
the road by each night is longer than prior.

У кого сила, тот и прав!

From the empty farmlands
the longest roads begin,
where homes are lost forever,
where waters run still.

Below these roads the makers:
hands that ground in cold,
orders of commandants
and skins frozen on bones.

With the sophomore album "Forced Equal" released in 2023, Tankist set off to conquer the darkest corners of blackened thrash akin to avant-garde. ... more
