Dog Fight

All the loss left in the mud at Verdun
No living eye saw what happened there
A century has past you see now at last the effect
A generation gone to waste
A dogfight roars a blood-stained sky pours red
The flames trickle into no-mans-land
Gallipoli and Ypres victory tastes just like defeat
All the king's and kaisers heroes now rotten meat

Old preacher
I remember my promise
Dear mother
I did all I could
Brothers comrades
It's into the breach country
My people
Remember my name

Is that a horse or is that a human being
Smeared red upon the earth
In a pit i heard the piggies squealing
Turned back to bacon fat and i tucked in
Far above our heads the chivalrous champions
If we lose them then we lose the best of men

Old preacher
I remember my promise
Dear mother
I did all I could
Brothers comrades
It's into the breach country
My people
Remember my name

Now the dogfight rains upon us all
Dogfight rains upon us all
The dogfight rains upon us all
The dogfight rains upon us all
From no mans land the dead do call
As the dogfight rains upon us all
The first of the risen, the last to fall
Dogfight reigns
