lyrics

I've spent days in this trench in the snow
Just my gun by my side.
It's cold and wet and you're all alone
Up keepin' watch at night.

The bite and the sting
The bitter cold brings
Reminds you that you're still alive
The hope and the pride
That we all hold inside
Seems to break when another boy dies

We ain't seen no germans for days
We're just tired and sore
And it feels like I'm wastin' away
So I drink from my flask to stay warm.
Every bomb miles away
Every faded engine cry
Still makes your heart start to race
Keeps you prayin' at night.

Been too quiet and too calm
For somethin' not to be wrong
So we sit as brothers in arms.
So we wait and we shake
Hear the roar of the tanks
And the gunfire of the on-comin' storm.
The ring in our ears
And the cold rush of fear
Overtakes us with the enemy in sight.
I stagger, but don't falter
I aim and pull the trigger
And we fight

But it all happens too fast
The blur of the sweat in my eyes
But with every man I kill
It seems two of my friends fall to die
I'm down on my knees
Feel the pain in my gut
And the snow is covered in blood.
I crawl to my captains side
With his head on my knee
Says "see to it that my grave is kept clean"

I wake in a hospital bed
There are rows and rows and rows of dyin' kids.
And I know
that my whole
Infantry is dead.
