Across the savage skies and through the fissures in the fields
The rumble of the engines and the trundle of the wheels
Through hell and horror trudge and yet our spirits never yield
Will they sing of these forsaken p***s of war?
Hoist the flags, hold the lines
Lessons ever lost to time
Now we sing for you, departed p***s of war
My bonnie lays afar upon a lonely eiderdown
While I dream of rats and tar within my burrow in the ground
Infernal gaping scar of boiling mud and thundering sound
They won't sing of this forsaken p*** of war
Hoist the flags, hold the lines
Lessons ever lost to time
Now we sing for you, departed p***s of war
Death on the dunes we feed the deserts
Blood of the empires on the sands
Hoist the flags, hold the lines
Lessons ever lost to time
Now we sing for you, departed p***s of war
The rumble of the engines and the trundle of the wheels
Through hell and horror trudge and yet our spirits never yield
Will they sing of these forsaken p***s of war?
Hoist the flags, hold the lines
Lessons ever lost to time
Now we sing for you, departed p***s of war
My bonnie lays afar upon a lonely eiderdown
While I dream of rats and tar within my burrow in the ground
Infernal gaping scar of boiling mud and thundering sound
They won't sing of this forsaken p*** of war
Hoist the flags, hold the lines
Lessons ever lost to time
Now we sing for you, departed p***s of war
Death on the dunes we feed the deserts
Blood of the empires on the sands
Hoist the flags, hold the lines
Lessons ever lost to time
Now we sing for you, departed p***s of war
