1914: Ordinary Boys versuri

Versuri Ken McLellan – 1914: Ordinary Boys lyrics

With the rising of the moon,
And the setting of the sun
I hope to be home soon,
Now the battle has begun
Come on boys, over the top
Will this crimson tide ever, ever stop?

Boys not men, we do defend
Ordinary boys until the end
For king and country, I do obey
Salute my brother as he falls by the way

10.000 bombs, they blister the ground
A thousand more with the very next round
Nothing can withstand such a barrage,
And a maxim gun cuts my brother in half
So, come on boys, over the top
Will this crimson tide ever, ever stop?

Boys not men, we do defend
Ordinary boys until the end
For king and country, I do obey
Salute my brother as he falls by the way

Hand in hand with the reaper, we do advance
Passing the bodies torn and damned
Unforgettable fire, unrelenting rain,
Undeniable slaughter, unforgiving pain
So, come on boys, over the top
Will this crimson tide ever, ever stop?

Boys not men, we do defend
Ordinary boys until the end
For king and country, I do obey
Salute my brother as he falls by the way

Well, life slows in motion, and time stops still
As lead tears at my body, another confirmed kill
To my knees I fall, to my mother I call
Another ordinary boy, murdered by Whitehall
Come on boys, over the top
With a crimson tide that never ever stops

Boys not men, we do defend
Ordinary boys until the end
For king and country, I do obey
Salute my brother as he falls by the way
