Over the Top Songtext
von Backlash

Shells exploding
Minds eroding
Gas enters the lungs
From trench to trench
The bodies spent
And sanities undone
The call goes out
The bodies mount
With a disregard for life
Nothing matters
Rifles clatter
For glories eternal strife


Over
The
Top
Over
The
Top
Over
The
Top
Over
The
Top

Passchendaele
To Ypres, Somme
Verdun into sight
The fields they fill
With nothing more
Than sorrow and surfeit
Inanimacy
And silent pain
Showcase certain strife
There′s nothing worse
To break a heart
Than tremendous loss of life


Over
The
Top
Over
The
Top
Over
The
Top
Over
The
Top

They send you out
To greet your death
With little less than hope
The blind ones follow
With words unsung
To numb the pain and cope
You follow along
And find you your man
You have him in your sights
But that muzzle flash
Has come at last
To relieve you of your life

Over
The
Top
Over
The
Top
Over
The
Top
Over
The
Top
