Dressed in black and trained to kill
They march into the enemy’s land
They fear no foe, not even death
Their fellows are death and bane
Their orders are their only faith
They kill at command instantly
Never retreat, always attack
The SS troops carry sudden death
Invading countries, burning houses
Securing death camps
Death division
Slaying women, killing children, fighting ‘till death
Death division
Corpses are paving the ground
Present is the stench of death
(The roaring) machine gun fire
Is silencing the tortured screams
The heraldic skull brings death
The curse of the Waffen SS
Invading countries, burning houses
Securing death camps
Death division
Slaying women, killing children, fighting ‘till death
Death division
