Shells of shrapnel flying over our heads
Fountains of mud pile up to the sky


Atrocious artillery fire
Creating a colossal wall of flame
Rattling machine guns

Spewing fire like mad machines
Thunderous roaring
Bombs looping high up in the air

Shells falling down in the trenches
Soldiers collapse in a bloody heap


Fire storm

Incredible massing of forces

In the hour of destiny
To fight for a distant future
And the violence it unleashed


The clouds of our gas shells beaten back by a headwind
Overwhelmed by the blunt force, a raging fire-storm


This place looks grisly
Scattered around this scorched site are bodies

Burned beyond recognition

Shells of shrapnel flying over our heads

Fountains of mud pile up to the sky

Atrocious artillery fire

Creating a colossal wall of flame
Rattling machine guns
Spewing fire like mad machines

Thunderous roaring
Bombs looping high up in the air
Shells falling down in the trenches

Soldiers collapse in a bloody heap

Fire storm


Incredible massing of forces
In the hour of destiny

To fight for a distant future
And the violence it unleashed
