Paschendale |
In a foreign field he lay |
Lonely soldier, unknown grave |
On his dying words he prays |
Tell the world of Paschendale |
Relive all that he’s been through |
Last communion of his soul |
Rust your bullets with his tears |
Let me tell you about his years |
Laying low in a blood filled trench |
Killing time 'til my very own death |
On my face I can feel the falling rain |
Never see my friends again |
In the smoke, in the mud and lead |
Smell the fear and the feeling of dread |
Soon be time to go over the wall |
Rapid fire and the end of us all |
Whistles, shouts and more gun fire |
Lifeless bodies hang on barbed wire |
Battlefield nothing but a bloody tomb |
Be reunited with my dead friends soon |
Many soldiers eighteen years |
Drown in mud, no more tears |
Surely a war no-one can win |
Killing time about to begin |
Home, far away |
From the war, a chance to live again |
Home, far away |
But the war, no chance to live again |
The bodies of ours and our foes |
The sea of death it overflows |
In no man’s land, God only knows |
Into jaws of death we go |
Crucified as if on a cross |
Allied troops they mourn their loss |
German war propaganda machine |
Such before has never been seen |
Swear I heard the angels cry |
Pray to God no more may die |
So that people know the truth |
Tell the tale of Paschendale |
Cruelty has a human heart |
Every man does play his part |
Terror of the men we kill |
The human heart is hungry still |
I stand my ground for the very last time |
Gun is ready as I stand in line |
Nervous wait for the whistle to blow |
Rush of blood and over we go |
Blood is falling like the rain |
Its crimson cloak unveils again |
The sound of guns can’t hide their shame |
And so we die in Paschendale |
Dodging shrapnel and barbed wire |
Running straight at the cannon fire |
Running blind as I hold my breath |
Say a prayer symphony of death |
As we charge the enemy lines |
A burst of fire and we go down |
I choke a cry but no-one hears |
Feel the blood go down my throat |
Home, far away |
From the war, a chance to live again |
Home, far away |
But the war, no chance to live again |
See my spirit on the wind |
Across the lines, beyond the hill |
Friend and foe will meet again |
Those who died at Paschendale |
