Coward |
| My father said — son, your country needs you |
| Come join the king’s army in the final breakthrough |
| The officer told me — shut up and attack |
| In no man’s land sludge I’m firmly stuck |
| I saw private Baker with his guts in the mud |
| He called for his mother coughed up blood |
| I found all my squad mates in a shell hole |
| They all were dead, shredded as coal |
| And I ran thru this scorched soil as fast as I can |
| Threw out all my weapons, my helmet and bags |
| A sudden wave of fear choked me out |
| I forgot my own name and I had to run |
| Near the Menin Road Ridge I sat under a tree |
| When they suddenly stumbled upon me |
| They said I’m a slacker, I’m a coward and rat |
| Corporal pulled out his gun and shot me in the head |
| My father said — son, your country needs you |
| Come join the king’s army in the final breakthrough |
