Rain drums the lifeless ground
Drops as cold as ice
The dawn's breaking, the trench a-shaking
Their fire hits us all around
And the siren cries
Forward! Forward! - We go into attack!
May today become the day
As I plunge into the grey
Lead is flying, all the signs are there
They all think that I am brave
The strongest link of our chain
But really I've gotta say that ain't how it's like
Closing in, not slowing down
Iron, fire blood
Our line's breaking and death a-taking
Our men from all around
Into the pools of mud
Forward, forward... There is no turning back!
May today become the day
As I plunge into the grey
Lead is flying, all the signs are there
They all think I am brave
The strongest link of our chain
But really I've gotta say that ain't how it's like
The fall back -calling as our soldiers keep falling
No, forward, forward! I am not turning back!
May today become the day
As I plunge into the grey
Lead is flying, all the signs are there
They all think that I am brave
The strongest link of our chain
But really I... just want a bullet between my eyes
Aim high
