Lyrics Swoop of the Falcon - Hail of Bullets

Swoop of the Falcon

Year of a legend
Habitat the Corps
Battle his element
Into the Great War
Keep the Right Wing strong
First encounter
Reported, killed at Dun
To live as a hero
One must survive
In a Hail of Bullets
Worn out but alive
Stalemate in the West
Damp entrenchments
Austere conditions
Wire entanglements
Wounded whilst charging
Fixed on bayonet
Storming earthworks
MG’s and Hand Grenades
To live as a hero
One must survive
Devoted to his men
Brings them out alive
Quality of decision
His was indeed
Like the swoop of the falcon
Of pure warrior’s breed
