The Price Of A Mile |
Throw your soldiers into positions |
Once there is no escape |
And they will prefer death to flight |
Hear the sound of the machine gun |
Hear it echo in the night |
Mortars firing, rains the scene |
Scars the fields that once were green |
It’s a stalemate at the front line |
Where the soldiers rest in mud |
Roads and houses, all is gone |
There’s no glory to be won |
Know that many men will suffer |
Know that many men will die |
Half a million lives at stake |
Ask the fields of Passchendaele |
And as night falls the general calls |
And the battle carries on and on |
What is the purpose of it all? |
What’s the price of a mile? |
Thousands of feet march to the beat |
It’s an army on the march |
Long way from home |
Paying the price in young mens lives |
Thousands of feet march to the beat |
It’s an army in despair |
Knee-deep in mud |
Stuck in the trench with no way out |
Thousands of machine guns |
Kept on firing through the night |
Mortars placed and wreck the scene |
Guns the fields that once were green |
Still a deadlock at the front line |
Where the soldiers die in mud |
Roads and houses since long gone |
Still no glory has been won |
Know that many men has suffered |
Know that many men has died |
Six miles of ground has been won |
Half a million men are gone |
And as the men crawled the general called |
And the killing carried on and on |
What was the purpose of it all? |
What’s the price of a mile? |
Thousands of feet march to the beat |
It’s an army on the march |
Long way from home |
Paying the price in young mens lives |
Thousands of feet march to the beat |
It’s an army in despair |
Knee-deep in mud |
Stuck in the trench with no way out |
Young men are dying |
They pay the price |
Oh how they suffer |
So tell me, what’s the price of a mile? |
That’s the price of a mile! |
Thousands of feet march to the beat |
It’s an army on the march |
Long way from home |
Paying the price in young mens lives |
Thousands of feet march to the beat |
It’s an army in despair |
Knee-deep in mud |
Stuck in the trench with no way out |
Thousands of feet march to the beat |
It’s an army on the march |
Long way from home |
Paying the price in young mens lives |
Thousands of feet march to the beat |
It’s an army in despair |
Knee-deep in mud |
Stuck in the trench with no way out |
Thousands of feet march to the beat |
It’s an army on the march |
Long way from home |
Paying the price in young mens lives |
Thousands of feet march to the beat |
It’s an army in despair |
Knee-deep in mud |
Stuck in the trench with no way out |
Thousands of feet march to the beat |
It’s an army on the march |
Long way from home |
Paying the price in young mens lives |
Thousands of feet march to the beat |
It’s an army in despair |
Knee-deep in mud |
Stuck in the trench with no way out |
Thousands of feet march to the beat |
It’s an army on the march |
Long way from home |
Paying the price in young mens lives |
