Lyric
|
|
As
|
|
the
|
|
drum
|
|
roll
|
|
started
|
|
on
|
|
that
|
|
day,
|
|
Heard
|
|
a
|
|
hundred
|
|
miles
|
|
away,
|
|
A
|
|
million
|
|
shells
|
|
were
|
|
fired,
|
|
And
|
|
the
|
|
green
|
|
fields
|
|
turned
|
|
to
|
|
grey!
|
|
The
|
|
bombardment
|
|
lasted
|
|
all
|
|
day
|
|
long,
|
|
Yet
|
|
the
|
|
forts
|
|
were
|
|
standing
|
|
strong,
|
|
Heavily
|
|
defended,
|
|
Now
|
|
the
|
|
trap's
|
|
been
|
|
sprung
|
|
and
|
|
the
|
|
battle
|
|
has
|
|
begun!
|
|
Descend
|
|
into
|
|
darkness,
|
|
303
|
|
days
|
|
below
|
|
the
|
|
sun!
|
|
Fields
|
|
of
|
|
Verdun!
|
|
And
|
|
the
|
|
battle
|
|
has
|
|
begun!
|
|
Nowhere
|
|
to
|
|
run!
|
|
Father
|
|
and
|
|
Son!
|
|
Fall
|
|
one
|
|
by
|
|
one!
|
|
Under
|
|
the
|
|
gun!
|
|
Thy
|
|
will
|
|
be
|
|
done!
|
|
And
|
|
the
|
|
judgement
|
|
has
|
|
begun!
|
|
Nowhere
|
|
to
|
|
run!
|
|
Father
|
|
and
|
|
Son!
|
|
Fall
|
|
one
|
|
by
|
|
one!
|
|
Fields
|
|
of
|
|
Verdun!
|
|
Though
|
|
a
|
|
|
Lyric
|
|
million
|
|
shells
|
|
have
|
|
scarred
|
|
the
|
|
land,
|
|
No
|
|
one
|
|
has
|
|
the
|
|
upper
|
|
hand,
|
|
From
|
|
the
|
|
ground
|
|
above
|
|
to
|
|
trenches,
|
|
Where
|
|
the
|
|
soldiers
|
|
make
|
|
their
|
|
stand!
|
|
As
|
|
the
|
|
trenches
|
|
slowly
|
|
turn
|
|
to
|
|
mud,
|
|
And
|
|
then
|
|
quickly
|
|
start
|
|
to
|
|
flood,
|
|
Death
|
|
awaits
|
|
in
|
|
every
|
|
corner,
|
|
As
|
|
they
|
|
die
|
|
in
|
|
the
|
|
mud,
|
|
Fill
|
|
the
|
|
trenches
|
|
with
|
|
blood!
|
|
Descend
|
|
into
|
|
darkness,
|
|
303
|
|
days
|
|
below
|
|
the
|
|
sun!
|
|
Fields
|
|
of

|
Verdun!
|
|
And
|
|
the

|
|
has

begun!
|
|
Nowhere
|
|
to
|
|
run!
|
|
Father
|
|
and

|
|
Fall

|
|
Under
|
|
the

|
|
Thy

And

|

Fields
|
|
|
Lyric

of

Verdun!
|
|
Fields
|
|
of

|
execution
|
|
turned

|
to
|
|
wasteland
|
|
from

|
the

grass,
|
|
Thou
|
|
shalt
|
|
go
|
|
no

|
further,
|
|
It
|
|
was

|
said
|
|
they

shall
|
|
not

|
pass!
|
|
The

spirit
|
|
of

|
resistance
|
|
and
|
|
the
|
|
madness
|
|
of

|
the

|
war!
|
|
So
|
|
go
|
|
ahead!
|
|
Face
|
|
the
|
|
lead!
|
|
Join
|
|
the

dead!
|
|
Though
|
|
you
|
|
die,
|
|
Where

|
you
|
|
lie,
|
|
Never

asking

why!
|
|
Descend

303
