In death, peace. Pick up your shovel, Guardsman. This is an anthem for the resolute, the self-sacrificing, the unbreakable soldiers of the Death Korps of Krieg. This track is a tribute to the humble entrenching tool, the most trusted companion of every soldier from the penitent world of Krieg. A rhythmic and percussive march, the song blends the grim sounds of martial industrial and dark folk, using marching drums, distorted synths, and haunting bagpipes to evoke the endless, attritional warfare that defines the Death Korps. It is a song of steel, death, and the sacred duty of the shovel.

(Verse 2) The artillery screams a litany of hate We climb the wall to meet our certain fate Across the wire, through fire and through gas A tide of greatcoats, moments meant to pass The charge is done, the foe is at my feet My rifle's cold, my victory's bittersweet He raises blade, I raise my humble spade A final, brutal reckoning is made Let others trust their chainswords and their steel It's in this spade my loyalty is real The 9-70, a sacrament I hold More precious than a universe of gold It digs the trench, it carves the final grave It is the only battle-brother that I save [Chorus] This shovel sings a song of steel and death It digs the line until my final breath It breaks the foe when bayonets are bent A tool of war, for absolution sent This shovel digs a million lonely graves For every soul the God-Emperor saves We pay the price in soil and in blood To wash away the heresy's dark flood! [Outro] Dig-dig, diggy-diggy Dig-dig, diggy-diggy Die-die, diggy-diggy Dig-dig, diggy-diggy Die-die, diggy-diggy-diggy-diggy-diggy-diggy-DIE!
