Verse 1
Postered Walls - Calls you and me
To join up for this boys-own spree
Join up soon - or miss the fun
In just 6 months -it'll all be done
Verse 2
Frontline face - the savagery
Biting home - reality
Where's the glory - deeds wont tell
Just putrid waste - with gas and shell
Chorus
Don’t believe them - when they say
Don’t believe them - walk away-a-a
Verse 3
Nerves in tatters - ceaseless guns
Come the dawn - you'll walk not run
(then) comrades falling - in the hell
that’s Ypres, the Somme and Paschendaele
Verse 4
Shell shocked nerves - can take no more
Rigid limbs - ignore the call
Words unspoken - twitching eyes
(Its) Still cowardice - no compromise
Verse 5
(In) Dead men's steps - you gravely trod
Your King's reward - the firing squad
Headstone Meadows - filled, no room
Not for you - a marble bloom
