[00:17.80] In a foreign field

[00:18.70] He lay

[00:20.20] Lonely soldier,

[00:21.20] Unknown grave

[00:22.95] On his dying words

[00:24.45] He prays

[00:25.95] Tell the world

[00:26.70] Of Paschendale

[00:28.45] ...

[00:51.45] Relive all that

[00:52.20] He's been through

[00:53.70] Last communion

[00:54.95] Of his soul

[00:56.45] Rust your bullets

[00:57.70] With his tears

[00:59.45] Let me tell you

[01:00.70] About his years

[01:02.20] ...

[01:13.95] Laying low in a

[01:14.70] Blood filled trench

[01:16.45] Killing time 'til

[01:17.20] My very own death

[01:18.45] On my face I can feel

[01:19.95] The falling rain

[01:21.45] Never see

[01:22.20] My friends again

[01:23.95] In the smoke,

[01:24.95] In the mud and lead

[01:26.95] Smell the fear and

[01:27.95] The feeling of dread

[01:29.70] Soon be time to

[01:30.45] Go over the wall

[01:32.45] Rapid fire and

[01:33.45] The end of us all

[01:34.70] ...

[01:46.20] Whistles,

[01:46.35] Shouts and

[01:46.85] More gun fire

[01:48.60] Lifeless bodies

[01:49.60] Hang on barbed wire

[01:51.10] Battlefield nothing

[01:52.35] But a bloody tomb

[01:54.10] Be reunited with

[01:54.85] My dead friends soon

[01:56.60] Many soldiers

[01:57.35] Eighteen years

[01:59.10] Drown in mud,

[01:59.85] No more tears

[02:01.60] Surely a war

[02:02.60] No-one can win

[02:04.35] Killing time

[02:05.35] About to begin

[02:07.35] Home,

[02:08.85] Far away

[02:11.74] From the war,

[02:13.98] A chance to live again

[02:17.48] Home,

[02:19.48] Far away

[02:22.23] But the war,

[02:24.48] No chance to live again

[02:26.98] ...

[02:30.73] The bodies of ours

[02:32.73] And our foes

[02:35.98] The sea of death

[02:37.23] It overflows

[02:40.73] In no man's land,

[02:41.98] God only knows

[02:45.73] Into jaws of death

[02:47.98] We go

[02:49.99] ...

[02:54.36] Crucified as

[02:55.12] If on a cross

[02:56.87] Allied troops

[02:57.61] They mourn their loss

[02:59.36] German war

[03:00.36] Propaganda machine

[03:02.12] Such before has

[03:03.12] Never been seen

[03:04.86] Swear I heard

[03:05.62] The angels cry

[03:07.62] Pray to god

[03:08.36] No more may die

[03:10.11] So that people

[03:11.12] Know the truth

[03:12.62] Tell the tale

[03:13.62] Of Paschendale

[03:16.87] ...

[04:02.91] Cruelty has a

[04:03.91] Human heart

[04:05.66] Every man does

[04:06.66] Play his part

[04:08.16] Terror of the

[04:09.16] Men we kill

[04:10.91] The human heart

[04:11.66] Is hungry still

[04:13.41] I stand my ground

[04:14.16] For the very last time

[04:15.91] Gun is ready

[04:16.66] As I stand in line

[04:18.41] Nervous wait for

[04:19.16] The whistle to blow

[04:20.91] Rush of blood

[04:21.66] And over we go

[04:25.41] ...

[05:35.41] Blood is falling

[05:36.66] Like the rain

[05:39.41] Its crimson cloak

[05:41.16] Unveils again

[05:44.66] The sound of guns

[05:46.16] Can't hide their shame

[05:49.66] And so we die

[05:51.41] In Paschendale

[05:54.41] ...

[06:25.66] Dodging shrapnel

[06:26.66] And barbed wire

[06:28.16] Running straight

[06:29.16] At the cannon fire

[06:30.66] Running blind as

[06:31.66] I hold my breath

[06:33.16] Say a prayer

[06:34.16] Symphony of death

[06:35.91] As we charge

[06:36.91] The enemy lines

[06:38.41] A burst of fire

[06:39.41] And we go down

[06:40.91] I choke a cry

[06:41.91] But no-one hears

[06:43.41] Fell the blood

[06:44.41] Go down my throat

[06:46.06] Home,

[06:47.81] Far away

[06:50.31] From the war,

[06:52.81] A chance to live again

[06:56.31] Home,

[06:58.31] Far away

[07:00.81] But the war,

[07:03.06] No chance to live again

[07:05.81] ...

[07:06.81] Home,

[07:08.56] Far away

[07:11.06] From the war,

[07:13.31] A chance to live again

[07:16.56] Home,

[07:18.31] Far away

[07:20.81] But the war,

[07:23.31] No chance to live again

[07:25.56] ...

[08:00.21] See my spirit

[08:01.46] On the wind

[08:03.45] Across the lines,

[08:04.20] Beyond the hill

[08:05.96] Friend and foe

[08:06.95] Will meet again

[08:08.71] Those who died

[08:09.96] At Paschendale
