Sun bleeds down on cracked and thirsty ground
Another sunrise, another battleground
Dust hangs heavy, choked by smoke's grey veil Screams and gunfire
a desperate wail
Shrapnel scars and hearts that bleed
Brothers in arms, a warriors creed
Singing the battlefield blues, a mournful breath
In the trenches, in the trenches, in the trenches, in the trenches
Together we, we stare down death
Faces etched with worry, eyes filled with dread
Marching onward where hope seems left for dead
Home and loved ones, a distant, fading dream
Just another soldier in this endless scheme
Shrapnel scars and hearts that bleed
Brothers in arms, a warriors creed
Singing the battlefield blues, a mournful breath
In the trenches, in the trenches, in the trenches, in the trenches
Together we, we stare down death
Iron birds dance in the crimson sky
Raining destruction as the innocent cry
What's the purpose in all this sufferings sting
Just another question
the wind whispers on the wing
Shrapnel scars and hearts that bleed
Brothers in arms, a warriors creed
Singing the battlefield blues, a mournful breath
In the trenches, in the trenches, in the trenches, in the trenches
Together we, we stare down death
Maybe someday the cannons will be still
But the echoes of war our hearts they'll always fill Singing the battlefield blues
a mournful cry
For peace we yearn
beneath the hopeful sky
Maybe someday the cannons will be still
But the echoes of war our hearts they'll always fill
Singing the battlefield blues, a mournful cry
For peace we yearn beneath the hopeful sky
