Angels Calling

Sent to kill, to watch no man’s land
Snipers are moving unseen
Fight for land, to lose it again
Shrapnel is filling the air
Hell on earth, the trenches mean death
Better keep your head down low
Charge their lines, the ultimate test
It’s a synchronized sacrifice
Get the wounded after dark
Left alone in no man’s land
Maddening chaos at the front
Dream of heaven
Angels are calling your name
Shells and guns, a rifle and scope
Bullets are wearing your name
Losing track of time and of space
Midnight at sanity’s edge
Losing friends to artillery shells
At the break of dawn
Break their will, as yours has been broken, they’re here alone, Dream of home
Charge at dawn to gain a yard
Scout at night to guard their lines
Leave your life in fortunes hand
Dream of heaven
Angels are calling your name
Hell on earth, the trenches mean death
Better keep your head down low
Charge their lines, the ultimate test
It’s a synchronized sacrifice
When the bullet hits it’s mark
Know your time in hell has been served
You won’t return to home
Dream of heaven
Angels are calling your name
