[00:00.00]Paschendale -Iron Maiden (娘子)
[00:18.140]In a foreign field he lay
[00:20.670]Lonely soldier unknown grave
[00:23.440]On his dying words he prays
[00:26.230]Tell the world of Paschendale
[00:51.660]Relive all that he's been through
[00:54.00]Last communion of his soul
[00:57.359]Rust your bullets with his tears
[00:59.829]Let me tell you'bout his years
[01:14.139]Laying low in a blood filled trench
[01:16.589]Kill tim'til my very own death
[01:18.989]On my face I can feel the falling rain
[01:21.789]Never see my friends again
[01:24.629]In the smoke in the mud and lead
[01:27.279]Smell the fear and the feeling of dread
[01:29.939]Soon be time to go over the wall
[01:32.619]Rapid fire and the end of us all
[01:46.429]Whistles shouts and more gun fire
[01:48.929]Lifeless bodies hang on barbed wire
[01:51.559]Battlefield nothing but a bloody tomb
[01:54.279]Be reunited with my dead friends soon
[01:56.828]Many soldiers eighteen years
[01:59.418]Drown in mud no more tears
[02:01.918]Surely a war no-one can win
[02:04.568]Killing time about to begin
[02:07.568]Home far away
[02:11.948]From the war a chance to live again
[02:17.808]Home far away
[02:22.488]But the war no chance to live again
[02:31.38]The bodies of ours and our foes
[02:36.117]The sea of death it overflows
[02:41.197]In no man's land God only knows
[02:45.916]Into jaws of death we go
[02:54.976]Crucified as if on a cross
[02:57.326]Allied troops they mourn their loss
[02:59.786]German war propaganda machine
[03:02.516]Such before has never been seen
[03:05.76]Swear I heard the angels cry
[03:07.806]Pray to god no more may die
[03:10.466]So that people know the truth
[03:13.155]Tell the tale of Paschendale
[04:03.715]Cruelty has a human heart
[04:05.904]Every man does play his part
[04:08.454]Terror of the men we kill
[04:11.34]The human heart is hungry still
[04:13.654]I stand my ground for the very last time
[04:16.104]Gun is ready as I stand in line
[04:18.644]Nervous wait for the whistle to blow
[04:21.224]Rush of blood and over we go
[05:35.184]Blood is falling like the rain
[05:39.613]It's crimson cloak unveils again
[05:44.543]The sound of guns can't hide their shame
[05:49.503]And so we die on Paschendale
[06:26.22]Dodging shrapnel and barbed wire
[06:28.502]Running straight at the cannon fire
[06:31.02]Running blind as I hold my breath
[06:33.452]Say a prayer symphony of death
[06:36.302]As we charge the enemy lines
[06:38.712]A burst of fire and we go down
[06:41.531]I choke a cry but no-one hears
[06:43.771]Fell the blood go down my throat
[06:46.151]Home far away
[06:50.781]From the war a chance to live again
[06:56.471]Home far away
[07:01.71]But the war no chance to live again
[07:06.761]Home far away
[07:11.191]From the war a chance to live again
[07:16.811]Home far away
[07:21.211]But the war no chance to live again
[08:01.11]See my spirit on the wind
[08:03.381]Across the lines beyond the hill
[08:06.311]Friend and foe will meet again
[08:08.961]Those who died at Paschendale
