Death was everywhere

In the air and in the sounds

Coming off the mounds of Bolton's Ridge

Ooh, death's anchorage When you rolled a smoke or told a joke

It was in the laughter and drinking water

It approached the beach as strings of cutters

Dropped into the sea and lay around us Death was in the ancient fortress

Shelled by a million bullets

From gunners waiting in the copses

With hearts that threatened to pop their boxes

As we advanced into the sun

Death was all and everyone

Death was all and everyone As we advancing in the sun

As we advancing every man

As we advancing in the sun Death hung in the smoke

And clung to 400 acres of useless beach front

A bank of red earth, dripping down

Death is now and now and now Death was everywhere

In the air and in the sounds

Coming off the mounds of Bolton's Ridge

Oh, death's anchorage Death was in the staring sun

Fixing its eyes on everyone

It rattled the bones of the Light Horsemen

Still lying out there in the open As we advancing in the sun

As we advancing every man

As we advancing in the sun

Sing, "Death to all and everyone"
