I pull the steel helmet tight
The land suffocates in smoke
Hand grenades on the belt
Two weren't present
The platoon starts to move
Through the cratered ground
The battalion pushes forward
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
Shrapnel like a rain shower
For moments we stand rigid
The barrage piles up
Showers of iron and earth
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
