Army Of The Damned |
We are the army of the damned |
Men of a far forgotten land |
Thousands of years have passed us by |
And still you will hear our cry |
We left our homes to fight this war |
We don’t remember what ‘twas for |
Still we advance both day and night |
Until the time comes to fight |
And so they flee from us, our kindred and our kin |
They will not stand for us and all that we have been |
The blood will flow from us forever and a day |
Our oaths are broken by their sins |
We gave up all that we could give |
So that our children could but live |
We march forever to the drum |
Of battle that will not come |
We hear our lovers cry, though they are dead and gone |
We hear our comrades sing that everlasting song |
We cannot feel the sun though morning has just come |
We are but shadows of the past |
Will we find forgiveness, will we? |
Will we find forgiveness, will we? |
Have mercy on us Father forgive all these men |
Who cannot feel the sun though morning has just come |
We are but shadows of the past |
We are the army of the damned |
Men of a far forgotten land |
What I would give to see her face |
And love her once more |
Brian Blessed recites Siegfried Sassoon’s poem |
Suicide In The Trenches |
I knew a simple soldier boy |
Who grinned at life in empty joy |
Slept soundly through the lonesome dark |
And whistled early with the lark |
In winter trenches, cowed and glum |
With crumps and lice and lack of rum |
He put a bullet through his brain |
No one spoke of him again |
You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye |
Who cheer when soldier lads march by |
Sneak home and pray you’ll never know |
The hell where youth and laughter go |
