The Final Command Lyrics
Begging For Mercy In Their One Final Plea
Soldiers Prepare To Fight To The Death
Fighting And Killing Till Their
Very Last Breath
Blitzkrieg Tactics Of The German Command
Born With The Power Of God In His Hand
He Makes His Move To Conquer The Land
Turning All Hopes Of Life Into Sand
Visions Of Torture And Terror To All
Ready For Battle Awaiting The
Final Command
Awaiting Our Victory Ending This Dream
Cursed Are The Souls Who Defy His Will
All Of Which Are Tortured And
Ruthlessly Killed
Blitzkrieg Tactics Of The German Command
Born With The Power Of God In His Hand
Shocking The World With His Mass
Devastation
He Puts All His Power In The Trust
Of One Nation
Visions Of Torture And Terror To All
Ready For Battle Awaiting The
Final Command
Hunting, Fighting And Killing All Men
The End Is Near Our Time Now Short
Our Kingdoms Have Fallen As A Result
Of This Sport
Blitzkrieg Tactics Of The German Command
Born With The Power Of God In His Hand
Withdrawn From Fighting He Now
Takes His Leave
Seeking Out Goals That Can't Be Conceived
Visions Of Torture And Terror To All
Ready For Battle Awaiting The
Final Command
Well this is the first of many historical songs written by Slayer with a Nazi theme. It's basically a brief synopsis of Hitler's reign and the Whermacht in general. I see it as a documentary type of tune. Later songs would go into much further detail but The Final Command (originally titled Blitzkrieg) was the one that gave Slayer it's original reputation as the hardest, fastest, most evil band around. They were also tagged with a Nazi label right away. A label that is absurd.
the Nazi used the Blitzkrieg tactic when fighting the polish (well dats one example of it) cant b bothered explaining the actual tactic but i was realy effective and crushed the enemy, i agree wid MrSlayer that slayer is not a pronazi band. only a few songs lay reference to nazi stuff. but people are idiots and get carried away when a band uses histroical references in their songs
