A Million Deaths

Back in the trench beneath this grey sky
 Together waiting for the end
 We stick our chests out decorated with medals
 Before the lead will replace all the pride in these hearts
 And there will be no celebration, forgotten names etched in the mud
 Me I believe honour lasts forever, therefore I sacrifice
 My life is yours
 ♪
 This stench of flesh in putrefaction
 Inebriates the living dead
 Breathing the soul of the slain in battle
 We wait in line with our comrades our ration of hell
 Under the flag of our nation we fight the enemy until the last stand
 We earn on the field the respect of fathers, united we immolate
 Our lives are yours
 Bleeding under the scars
 Going for a recognition, going for a purple heart
 We are becoming insane here, forgotten in fox holes
 We fight the primal fear more than the real foe
 No we can't discern them clearly from our companions
 We're going insane here
 Why don't you hear us?
 Why don't you rescue us all?
 
 ♪
 Hidden in my shelter under heavy enemy attack
 My thoughts ink the letters
 That will never reach my hearth
 Memories are stabbing my soul like a bayonet
 I forgot the reason why we are confined in this hell
 ♪
 "Honour goes far beyond death and suffering
 And only through the sacrifice of the brave will peace be restored
 Don't despair my sons, keep your heads high
 For your names will be remembered forever in time"
 To defend you my sire I have blown away my soul
 Devastating my own life
 With no rewards
 Choking my existence with lies
 Led by the devil to paradise

 Bleeding under the scars

 We fight the primal fear more than the real foe
 No we can't discern them clearly from our companions
 We're going insane here
 Why don't you hear us?
 Why don't you rescue us all?
