The Battle Of The Somme

First of July nineteen sixteen
A battle is about to begin
The whistle blows
It's time to run to no man's land

Twenty thousand will die in this battle
The bloodiest day is about to begin
French blue sky is turning into red blood
The killing begins
Bullets are flying over us like arrows
Machine guns spiting fire in the men
Razor wire and flame throwers are waiting for them

The months have passed the weather is raw
We still alive in this hell
An iron destroyer never seen before
On germans released all the rage

A mist of chlorine covered the field
Silence precedes the attack
The whistle again it's time to go
Unleash the blazes of hell

A seed of the demon was wounded in battle
But he’d survived for his future revenge
Grenades explode and I feel the rumble
Deaf, I don't know where I am
Bullets are flying over us like arrows
Machine guns spiting fire in the men
Razor wire and flame throwers are waiting for them
The gods of war showed no mercy
They gave us the greatest battle of all
Bagpipers sound and bayonets clink cutting the air
The battle was lost, the winds are frost
Soldiers are fighting for all
We will die at the battle of the somme

I see the rising Sun
This may be my last day
It makes me hate to look upon the Sun

No blood, no guts
No sounds, no movements
Just the cold and dreary silence

My eyes are too fogged to see the light
My mind is too cluttered to think right
I've tasted my own tears
And faced all my fears

I see the rising Sun
This may be my last day
It makes me hate to look upon the Sun

No blood, no guts
No sounds, no movements
Just the cold and dreary silence
I tasted all the pain

The gods of war showed no mercy
They gave us the greatest battle of all
Bagpipers sound and bayonets clink cutting the air
The battle was lost, the winds are frost
Soldiers are fighting for all
We all die at the battle of the somme

One million souls were lost at the battle
Tanks and cannons roared since the begin
Bullets were flying and buried in the mud
Bayonets and bodies rotted to the end

British and french advanced at one side
But germans resisted since the beginning
All were defeated at the battle of the somme
