Cemetery Fields Lyrics

The break of dawn
Artillery strikes
Blanketing the summer sky
Awaiting intently underground
Defenses fortified

The assault begins
A malestorm of fire
Years through the approaching wave
Corpses fill shell craters

Battalions advance
Through war torn fields
Obscured by smoke and fire
Rapidly gunned down
Entangled in barbed wire

Counter attack
Relentless resolve
Repelling the charge of the flank
The crimson river Somme
Endless blood fills its banks

Fire and blood

Pinned down in open ground
Under endless wire and gas
Unceasing rain of shrapnel
Forever interred in cemetery fields
