Memoriam Fixed Bayonets
[Verse 1]
Standing in line
Awaiting in the trenches
Now the order comes
Fixed bayonets
As the whistles blow
Over the top you go
Towards enemy territory
Fixed bayonets
[Chorus]
Moving forward
Hold the line
The dead and wounded
Left behind
No place for fear
In your mind
Benevolence
Is now declined
[Verse 2]
Across no man's land
Through unbroken defences
Weapon gripped in your hands
Fixed bayonets
Onwards you march
Past the point of endurance
At the edge of sanity
Fixed bayonets
[Refrain]
Cheek by jowl
Fighting at close quarters
Face to face
Destroy the enemy
[Verse 3]
Into the breach
For God, king, and country
Amongst the adversary
Fixed bayonets
Fighting for your life
With grim determination
As the bloodshed flows
Fixed bayonets
[Chorus]
Moving forward
Hold the line
The dead and wounded
Left behind
No place for fear
In your mind
Benevolence
Is now declined
[Refrain]
Cheek by jowl
Fighting at close quarters
Face to face
Destroy the enemy
