[al: Dance of Death]
[ti: Paschendale]
[length: 08:28]
[00:17.54]In a foreign field he lay
[00:20.10]Lonely soldier, unknown grave
[00:22.99]On his dying words he prays
[00:25.72]Tell the world of Paschendale
[00:30.01]
[00:51.68]Relive all that he’s been through
[00:53.85]Last communion of his soul
[00:56.42]Rust your bullets with his tears
[00:59.21]Let me tell you ’bout his years
[01:03.42]
[01:13.73]Laying low in a blood filled trench
[01:16.29]Kill time ’til my very own death
[01:18.67]On my face I can feel the falling rain
[01:21.45]Never see my friends again
[01:24.24]In the smoke, in the mud and lead
[01:26.81]Smell the fear and the feeling of dread
[01:29.75]Soon be time to go over the wall
[01:32.20]Rapid fire and end of us all
[01:36.51]
[01:45.88]Whistles, shouts and more gun fire
[01:48.76]Lifeless bodies hang on barbed wire
[01:51.58]Battlefield nothing but a bloody tomb
[01:54.14]Be reunited with my dead friends soon
[01:56.68]Many soldiers eighteen years
[01:59.22]Drown in mud, no more tears
[02:01.85]Surely a war no-one can win
[02:04.26]Killing time about to begin
[02:06.91]Home, far away
[02:11.45]From the war, a chance to live again
[02:17.65]Home, far away
[02:22.23]But the war, no chance to live again
[02:30.48]The bodies of ours and our foes
[02:35.24]The sea of death it overflows
[02:40.79]In no man’s land, God only knows
[02:46.12]Into jaws of death we go
[02:54.34]Crucified as if on a cross
[02:56.88]Allied troops they mourn their loss
[02:59.55]German war propaganda machine
[03:02.13]Such before has never been seen
[03:04.83]Swear I heard the angels cry
[03:07.58]Pray to god no more may die
[03:10.25]So that people know the truth
[03:12.75]Tell the tale of Paschendale
[03:16.94]
[04:03.17]Cruelty has a human heart
[04:05.72]Every man does play his part
[04:08.31]Terror of the men we kill
[04:10.61]The human heart is hungry still
[04:13.34]I stand my ground for the very last time
[04:16.16]Gun is ready as I stand in line
[04:18.32]Nervous wait for the whistle to blow
[04:21.23]Rush of blood and over we go
[04:28.59]
[05:34.43]Blood is falling like the rain
[05:39.51]Its crimson cloak unveils again
[05:44.47]The sound of guns can’t hide their shame
[05:49.72]And so we die on Paschendale
[05:54.64]
[06:24.83]Dodging shrapnel and barbed wire
[06:28.13]Running straight at cannon fire
[06:30.88]Running blind as I hold my breath
[06:33.35]Say a prayer symphony of death
[06:35.79]As we charge the enemy lines
[06:38.14]A burst of fire and we go down
[06:40.99]I choke a cry but no-one hears
[06:43.47]Feel the blood go down my throat
[06:46.08]Home, far away
[06:50.08]From the war, a chance to live again
[06:56.00]Home, far away
[07:00.33]But the war, no chance to live again
[07:06.57]Home, far away
[07:10.96]From the war, a chance to live again
[07:16.56]Home, far away
[07:20.91]But the war, no chance to live again
[07:26.96]
[08:00.04]See my spirit on the wind
[08:03.12]Across the lines, beyond the hill
[08:06.07]Friend and foe will meet again
[08:08.81]Those who died at Paschendale
