I pull the steel helmet tight

Step out into the night

It's foggy and cool

The land suffocates in smoke

Formed up in platoons

Hand grenades on the belt

Names are called

Two weren't present

The platoon starts to move

Through the cratered ground

Skirting beams and ponds

Far from the dugouts

The battalion pushes forward

To carry out the attack

The order short and sharp

Drive the Englishman back

Forward to the charge, into the fight

That's how they send us into no man's land

Eyes closed, heart burned

That's how they send us into no man's land

Gas readiness is ordered

A hellfire begins

Earth leaps in fountains

Shrapnel like a rain shower

For moments we stand rigid

To scatter apart

Seek cover in the mire

And war drums rage

Orders are screamed

My men have vanished

Shells shave

Men down in seconds

The barrage piles up

So terrible the force

Showers of iron and earth

Rush through the air

Forward to the charge, into the fight

That's how they send us into no man's land

Eyes closed, heart burned

That's how they send us into no man's land

Forward to the charge, into the fight

That's how they send us into no man's land

Eyes closed, heart burned

That's how they send us into no man's land
