Cait Brennan Bombardier
"Bombardier" (July 1, 1916)
Hands raised
Volunteers
Fresh faced
Tender years
And when you're done, another one
will run that gun
She's your Verdun, she can't be won
Oh brother, keep that vow
'cause you can't hide now
Bombardier, bombardier, bombardier, bombardier
You tried to burn it out
Bombardier, bombardier, bombardier, bombardier,
You tried to blow it down
Bombardier, bombardier…bombardier,
It’s not in your hands
Midnight
Firefight
Town
Too real
Wound won’t
heal
And when you’re done, another one
Will run that gun
You're at the Somme, she can't be won
Oh mother, keep that crown
You can fly now
Bombardier, bombardier, bombardier, bombardier,
You tried to tear me down
Bombardier, bombardier, bombardier, bombardier,
You tried to wipe me out
Bombardier, bombardier…bombardier
It's out of your hands
And when you’re done, another one
Will run that gun
Dead and gone, to Avalon
Oh mother, keep that crown
You can fly now
Bombardier, bombardier, bombardier, bombardier,
You tried to run away
Bombardier, bombardier, bombardier, bombardier,
And now you’ll rue the day
“Vous ne les laisserez pas passer, mes camarades"
Your soul is rent and out, and flying up, so long
