|
I often hear the call |
|
Of the infantrymen as they fall |
|
To the depths of me |
|
The depths of me. |
|
And when the night has gone |
|
And the trenches greet the dawn |
|
What it asks of me |
|
What it wants me to be |
|
Oh, the firing line |
|
Oh, the firing line. |
|
It still remains |
|
In a sea of october rain |
|
And the eyes of a frightened lonely child |
|
Stare inside of me. |
|
Oh, the firing line |
|
Oh, the firing line |
|
And who of all my friends |
|
Will be there at the end |
|
When they lay me out |
|
When they lay me out? |
|
Oh, the firing line |
|
Oh, the firing line |
|
Oh, the firing line |
|
Oh, the firing line. |
