No Man’s Land

In the gloom of the battlefield, as another dark night falls
The guns have ceased, and silence reigns, as another evening calls
A sense of dark foreboding lies, between opposing bands
As fields of death, a blood-soaked earth, it’s name is no-man’s land

O-ooo… No-man’s land
O-ooo… No-man’s land

How many men have perished there, how many dreams have died?
In a fight against a brother, for leaders who have lied
As young men die for flying flags, bright colours in the mud
Another colour now appears, the red of fresh-spilt blood

O-ooo… No-man’s land
O-ooo… No-man’s land
O-ooo… No-man’s land
O-ooo… No-man’s land

Another night fades into dawn, the barrage starts anew
The shells explode, the bullets fly, the sniper aims for you
Whistles shriek, as up you go, your rifle in your hand
Forward, forward, to glory’s death, the hell of no-man’s land

O-ooo… No-man’s land
O-ooo… No-man’s land
