Off To Battle
With a fierce loyalty,
Some vague threat
Oh, the novelty
March to the key
Sunrise to sunset
With a fierce loyalty
Open field, a sight to see
Didn’t know then, last cigarette
Oh, the novelty
A hellish place to be
The look of regret
With a fierce loyalty
Brutal depravity
Flowing freely, blood and sweat
Oh, the novelty
Gently slipping from reality
Lest we forget
With a fierce loyalty
Oh, the novelty.
Some vague threat
Oh, the novelty
March to the key
Sunrise to sunset
With a fierce loyalty
Open field, a sight to see
Didn’t know then, last cigarette
Oh, the novelty
A hellish place to be
The look of regret
With a fierce loyalty
Brutal depravity
Flowing freely, blood and sweat
Oh, the novelty
Gently slipping from reality
Lest we forget
With a fierce loyalty
Oh, the novelty.
