I've seen and done things I want to forget;
I've seen soldiers fall like lumps of meat, Blown and shot out beyond belief. Arms and legs were in the trees. I've seen and done things I want to forget; coming from an unearthly place, Longing to see a woman's face, Instead of the words that gather pace, The words that maketh murder. These, these, these are the words- The words that maketh murder. These, these, these are the words- The words that maketh murder. These, these, these are the words- Murder... These, these, these are the words- The words that maketh murder. I've seen and done things I want to forget; I've seen a corporal whose nerves were shot Climbing behind the fierce, gone sun, I've seen flies swarming everyone, Soldiers fell like lumps of meat. These are the words, the words are these. death lingering, stunk, Flies swarming everyone, Over the whole summit peak, Flesh quivering in the heat. This was something else again. I fear it cannot be explained. The words that make, the words that make Murder. What if I take my problem to the United Nations? |

Shadows lengthening
Ninety-five steps I'm taking With every step I'm longing For the luck to keep on living The drum calls me back again To my senses, filled with shame Oh, that this night Would never end And on No Man's Land The sun would not rise again There was laughing, and I could not laugh There was singing, and I could not sing The big guns called me back again The big guns called me back again The big guns called me back again I hear voices sing I hear the guns begin Far off, and far away I hear the guns again I hear the guns again I hear the guns again |
