The Iraq War was a protracted armed conflict that began on 20 March 2003 with the invasion of Iraq by a United States-led coalition that overthrew the government of Saddam Hussein. The conflict continued for much of the next decade as an insurgency emerged to oppose the occupying forces and the post-invasion Iraqi government.

Under this sun no shadows will fall
Piercing our eyes as we charge
An armoured battalion on course to the east
Closing the end of it’s march
This time we’re here to finish a job
Started a decade ago
Driving the animals out of their holes
To bury them six feet below
Armoured tanks of mass destruction
Killers in the east
Rats who dare to stand before us, feel our guns go live
Death in the shape of a panzer battalion
Insect of terror don’t run, face your fate like a man
Cannot outrun our panzer battalion!
Thousands of tons of armour and guns
Making it’s way through the sand
Our panzer battalion is back for revenge
Artillery sweeping the land
First strike is ours, no mercy is shown
There’s rivers of blood in our track
Breaking their waves of defence with our tanks
Infantry watching our back
Blow their SAM sites clear for air strike
Ready for the storm
Minefields swept, there’s no surrender
Feel our napalm burn
Death in the shape of a panzer battalion
Insect of terror don’t run, face your fate like a man
Cannot outrun our panzer battalion!
Death in the shape of a panzer battalion
Insect of terror don’t run, face your fate like a man
Cannot outrun our panzer battalion!
Under this sun no shadows will fall
Piercing our eyes as we charge
An armoured battalion on course to the east
Has reached the end of it’s march
Armoured tanks of mass destruction
Killers in the east
Rats who dare to stand before us, feel our guns go live
Panzer battalion
Insect of terror don’t run, face your fate like a man
Panzer battalion
