[Intro]
[whispered vocals, strings swell]
Mud in my teeth, blood in the sand,
Choked by the fog, this no man's land.
History repeats, we die on demand,
The whistle blows, the devil’s hand.
[Verse 1]
Rats in the trench, play tag with the dead,
Steel rain falls, paints the sky in red.
A letter in my pocket, unread, unsaid,
While the air smells thick, sulfur and dread.
Gas creeps slow, a green phantom grin,
Masks on tight, but the fear seeps in.
"Over the top," barked through the din,
We climb like ghosts, where the end begins.
[Chorus]
No man's land, where the brave get buried,
Dreams dissolve, by the weight they carried.
Shells sing songs, the horizon's harried,
No man's land, where the souls are ferried.
[Verse 2]
Barbed wire snarls, the earth's cold veins,
Boots sinking deep, swallowed by the plains.
Bullets carve names, stories left in stains,
Crows feast on scraps, the world’s remains.
Brother beside me, his breath runs thin,
Eyes to the heavens, guilt kicks in.
I prayed for my life, but traded for sin,
We all fight wars that we never can win.
