Fields of Verdun

[00:15.64] As the drum roll started on that day
[00:17.44] Heard a hundred miles away
[00:19.74] A million shells were fired
[00:22.48] And the green fields turned to grey
[00:24.84] The bombardment lasted all day long
[00:26.61] Yet the forts were standing strong
[00:29.47] Heavily defended
[00:31.72] Now the trap's been sprung and the battle has begun
[00:34.82] Descend into darkness
[00:41.44] 303 days below the sun
[00:44.56] Fields of Verdun, and the battle has begun
[00:49.17] Nowhere to run, father and son
[00:51.29] Fall one by one under the gun
[00:53.68] Thy will be done (thy will be done)
[00:55.92] And the judgement has begun
[00:58.82] Nowhere to run, father and son
[01:00.68] Fall one by one, fields of Verdun
[01:05.08] Though a million shells have scarred the land
[01:07.30] No one has the upper hand
[01:09.21] From the ground above to trenches
[01:11.36] Where the soldiers make their stand
[01:13.53] As the trenches slowly turn to mud
[01:16.86] And then quickly start to flood
[01:18.92] Death awaits in every corner
[01:21.25] As they die in the mud, fill the trenches with blood
[01:24.85] Descend into darkness
[01:29.98] 303 days below the sun
[01:33.97] Fields of Verdun, and the battle has begun
[01:38.36] Nowhere to run, father and son
[01:40.77] Fall one by one under the gun
[01:43.26] Thy will be done (thy will be done)
[01:45.53] And the judgement has begun
[01:48.31] Nowhere to run, father and son
[01:50.45] Fall one by one, fields of Verdun
[01:55.64]
[01:59.84] Fields of execution turned to wasteland from the grass
[02:04.08] Thou shalt go no further, it was said, "They shall not pass!"
[02:08.45] The spirit of resistance and the madness of the war
[02:13.39] So go ahead, face the lead, join the dead
[02:15.92] Though you die where you lie, never asking why
[02:21.23]
[02:40.88] Descend into darkness
[02:44.83] 303 days below the sun
[02:47.88] Fields of Verdun, and the battle has begun
[02:52.55] Nowhere to run, father and son
[02:54.73] Fall one by one under the gun
[02:57.47] Thy will be done (thy will be done)
[02:59.77] And the judgement has begun
[03:03.45] Nowhere to run, father and son
[03:05.16] Fall one by one, fields of Verdun
[03:07.43]
