Karsky's Dead Soldiers Songtext
von The Killigans

Well gather ′round the glass
And grab hold of your ladies
We'll send off Karski′s soldiers one by one
We'll drink your health by the fire
Keep one step ahead of hell
'Cause dead men never see the rising sun

Has it come right down to this
Your time′s run up at last
There′s no one left to hear your dying song

As you board your ship to sail
From these forgotten shores
We hand pull to our left, we'll send you on

May your passage be fast (Karski)
May you find your peace at last (Karski)
On the other side of death′s eternal door
But don't reach for the cross
Your hands aren′t clean enough
Just pay the toll, someone settled up the score


So gather 'round the glass
And grab hold of your ladies
We′ll send off Karski's soldiers one by one
We'll drink your health by the fire
Keep one step ahead of hell
′Cause dead men never see the rising sun

Buried in a ditch
Just outside the chapel walls
Two diggers sang "You Near My God To Me"
And the pastor read a sermon
Found it in the book of Job
Such words would make a faithless man believe

May your passage be fast (Karski)
May you find your peace at last (Karski)
On the other side of death′s eternal door
But don't reach for the cross
Your hands aren′t clean enough
Just pay the toll, someone settled up the score

So gather 'round the glass
And grab hold of your ladies
We′ll send off Karski's soldiers one by one
We′ll drink your health by the fire
Keep one step ahead of hell
'Cause dead men never see the rising sun


Well gather 'round the glass
And grab hold of your ladies
We′ll send off Karski′s soldiers one by one
We'll drink your health by the fire
Keep one step ahead of hell
′Cause dead men never see the rising sun
No, dead men never see the rising sun
No, dead men never see the rising sun
