[ti:the big battle] |
|
[ar:] |
|
[al:] |
| [00:02.37] |
I think sir the battle is over |
| [00:05.80] |
and the young soldier laid down his gun |
| [00:10.26] |
I'm tired of running for cover |
| [00:14.56] |
I'm certain the bottle is done |
| [00:19.41] |
For see over there where we fought them |
| [00:23.45] |
it's quiet for they've all gone away |
| [00:27.70] |
All left is the dead and the dying |
| [00:31.79] |
the grounds cover with them today |
| [00:44.28] |
and you even lay down your gun |
| [00:48.08] |
You carelessly rise from your cover |
| [00:56.84] |
Now boy hit the dirt listen to me |
| [01:01.39] |
for I'm still the one in command |
| [01:05.60] |
Get flat on the ground here beside me |
| [01:10.25] |
and lay your ear hard to the sand |
| [01:14.70] |
Can you hear the deafening rumble |
| [01:20.31] |
can you feel the trembling ground |
| [01:24.15] |
It's not just the horses and wagons that make such a deafening sound |
| [01:29.21] |
The fight yet to come's not with cannon nor will the fight be hand to hand |
| [01:41.86] |
No one will regroup the forces |
| [01:45.70] |
no charge will a general command |
| [01:49.49] |
battle The will rage in the bosom of mother and sweetheart and wife |
| [02:00.22] |
Brother and sister and daughter will grieve for the rest of their lives |
| [02:08.20] |
Now go ahead rise from your cover be thankful that God let you live |
| [02:16.29] |
Go fight the rest of the battle for those who gave all they could give |
| [02:24.94] |
I see sir the battle's not over the battle has only begun |
| [02:35.15] |
The rest of the battle will cover this part that has blackened the sun |
| [02:42.53] |
For though there's no sound of the cannon and though there's no smoke in the sky |
| [02:52.92] |
I'm dropping the gun and the sabre and ready for battle am I |
