Solitude Songtext

von Peter Hammill

Stand around and wait to die hoping for the end
Orders come to move on attack now the war begins
Death's head, take away, life's a shot away it's another kill
Bodies mount in bloody piles sends an evil chill

When I lie
Will you believe me
That when you die
We will not bury thee

Now we wade in the endless fields
Battalion X to fight
Intelligence such an empty word
Attack again tonight
Death's head, take away, life's a shot away it's another hit
Now a soldier hits the ground and we don't give a shit

Now when I lie
Will you believe me
That when you die
We will not bury thee

The deads voice come alive at night
And dreams become a fear
Shattering all rational thought
The voices seem so clear
Death's head, take away life's a shot away who's next to fall
How many will have to die before ceasefire is called

Lead:
Jon
Trapper

Smells of napalm fill the air
Death's odor so clear
Bullets fly straight through this hell
Crossfire so near
Death's head, take away life's a shot away what the hell do I care
We weren't meant to leave this war the plans so fucking clear

Now when I lie
Will you believe me
That when you die
We will not bury thee
And when you're down
Laying face down oh
Your solitude... the only way out
