Arrival
The Meuse-Argonne offensive started like clockwork
We planned to break through the Hindenburg line

I know what we are fighting for
Hopefully to end the war

On the second of October
We entered and entrenched in the Argonne forest
Hill 198 was our goal

I know what we are fighting for
Hopefully to end the war

Blood, guts, bayonets and shells
Kleiftroops attack with the flame
In the Argonne forest we're buried alive
Let the mud flow through my veins
Burst in the front, explosion behind
My comrades get torn apart
Our field artillery made a mistake
By friendly fire we died

We are along the road parallel 276
Our own artillery is dropping a barrage directly on us
For heaven's sake stop it

Departure
This battle was the deadliest in US history
Our losses were 26 thousands of human lives

What are we fighting for?
Don't mess with the war
