[00:17.29] |
In a foreign field he lay |
[00:19.97] |
lonely soldier unknown grave |
[00:23.03] |
on his dying words he prays |
[00:25.80] |
tell the world of Paschendale |
[00:39.04] |
Relive all that he's been through |
[00:53.30] |
last communion of his soul |
[00:56.28] |
rust your bullets with his tears |
[00:59.08] |
let me tell you 'bout his years |
[01:13.20] |
Laying low in a blood filled trench |
[01:15.69] |
killing time 'til my very own death |
[01:18.18] |
on my face I can feel the falling rain |
[01:20.79] |
never see my friends again |
[01:24.03] |
in the smoke, in the mud and lead |
[01:26.39] |
smell of fear and feeling of dread |
[01:28.94] |
soon be time to go over the wall |
[01:31.43] |
rapid fire and the end of us all |
[01:41.57] |
Whistles, shouts and more gun fire |
[01:47.79] |
lifeless bodies hang on barbwire |
[01:50.84] |
battlefield nothing but a bloody tomb |
[01:53.39] |
be reunited with my dead friends soon |
[01:55.69] |
many soldiers eighteen years |
[01:58.18] |
drown in mud, no more tears |
[02:01.10] |
surely a war no one can win |
[02:03.84] |
killing time about to begin |
[02:06.45][06:44.29][07:05.78] |
Home, far away. From the war, a chance to live again |
[02:16.72][06:53.49][07:23.44] |
Home, far away. But the war, no chance to live again |
[02:26.76] |
The bodies of ours and our foes |
[02:34.54] |
the sea of death it overflows |
[02:40.64] |
in no man's land God only knows |
[02:46.73] |
into jaws of death we go... |
[02:54.37] |
Crucified as if on a cross |
[02:55.86] |
allied troops, they mourn their loss |
[02:58.61] |
German war propaganda machine |
[03:01.35] |
such before has never been seen |
[03:04.21] |
swear I heard the angels cry |
[03:06.95] |
pray to God no more may die |
[03:09.44] |
so that people know the truth |
[03:11.68] |
tell the tale of Paschendale |
[03:24.11] |
|
[04:01.97] |
Cruelty has a human heart |
[04:04.40] |
everyman does play his part |
[04:06.89] |
terror of the men we kill |
[04:09.87] |
the human heart is hungry still |
[04:12.48] |
I stand my ground for the very last time |
[04:14.72] |
gun is ready as I stand in line |
[04:17.46] |
nervous wait for the whistle to blow |
[04:20.01] |
rush of blood and over we go... |
[04:32.95] |
Blood is falling like the rain |
[05:04.11] |
|
[05:37.72] |
its crimson cloak unveils again |
[05:42.33] |
the sound of guns can't hide their shame |
[05:47.30] |
and so we die in Paschendale |
[06:04.11] |
|
[06:24.11] |
Dodging shrapnel and barbwire |
[06:26.11] |
running straight at cannon fire |
[06:28.61] |
running blind as I hold my breath |
[06:31.55] |
say a prayer symphony of death |
[06:33.87] |
as we charge the enemy lines |
[06:36.29] |
a burst of fire and we go down |
[06:38.86] |
I choke a cry but no one hears |
[06:41.78] |
feel the blood go down my throat |
[07:07.95] |
|
[07:57.95] |
See my spirit on the wind |
[08:00.94] |
across the lines beyond the hill |
[08:04.13] |
friend and foe will meet again |
[08:06.57] |
those who died at Paschendale |
