Inspired by a visit to a WWI Battlefield
Runs upon green fields
Death stretching out forever
Where is the glory
Their heroes are made
In forgotten sewers
Through the slaughter-offering
Of their life blood
The modern-day Baals
Bellowed for sacrifice
And the flower of their youth
Passed through the fire

Arras, 1962
The blood of slain soldiersRuns upon green fields
Death stretching out forever
Where is the glory
Their heroes are made
In forgotten sewers
Through the slaughter-offering
Of their life blood
The modern-day Baals
Bellowed for sacrifice
And the flower of their youth
Passed through the fire
