lyrics

Knee deep in the mud
Dead friends at every turn
The enemy comes - they smell your sweat
And as you die you should remember

Now you die for your country
Blood marks the lines on the map
For oil, or gold, or one man's pride
You march to your end
March! Through the crimson field
March! Through adversity
March! To the gates of hell
March! It's your destiny

March! Through the trench of death
March! To your early grave
March! As your country calls
March! As the bullets rain
March! It's your destiny

You've had your day and now you're gone
A name on a grave, a thought on a wreath
Another skull in the dirt
Better for you to still be alive
A forgotten son, a mother's tears
Another worthless hero

Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori
It's good and right to die for your country

Walk through the fields of fire
Show me your bravery
Steel yourself and face your foe
Shred them to pieces

And for what?
Why should they fall?
Blood soaks the fields
Just another pointless war
Why won't you die?
Where is your pride?
A memorial marking your name
A cross in the dirt
Another well trained martyr
A flag on a coffin
A stain on our honour

The old lie for which you die
March to your end
