And the blue, and the gathering stone, and the base, and the ships Gimlet, eyes awake, they come to the bombs, to arm around The gates to the northern wide, throw evil to its fate All summers long, the trails to build the machine, to turn men From flesh and blood, to steel, from paper soldiers, to bodies on the beach From summer sands, to Armageddon's reach Oh my lord, your master not your dad The enemy toast, darling grey with scab These wretched souls, puking, shaking, fear To take a bullet, for those who send them here The walls alight, the cliffs erupt in flame No escape, remorseless shadow waits Drowning men, no chance for a warrior's sleep A choking death, at death hell's gate Sliding we go, only fear at our side To the edge of the wall, and reverse with the tide Oh the water is red, with the good and the dead Oh but I'm still alive, as it could have survived How long, I misunderstand, till we finally make it through How long, I misunderstand, till we finally make it through How long, I misunderstand, till we finally make it through How long, I misunderstand, till we finally make it through The rising dead, faces bloated, torn They are relieved, the living wait their turn Your number's up, the bullet's got your name You still go on, to hell and back again The hell awaits, the cage's rising full The bloody tombs, lie open for us all A ghostly hand, reaches through the veil Blood and sand, we will prevail Sliding we go, only fear at our side To the edge of the wall, and reverse with the tide Oh the water is red, with the good and the dead But I'm still alive, as it could have survived How long, I misunderstand, till we finally make it through How long, I misunderstand, till we finally make it through How long, I misunderstand, till we finally make it through How long, I misunderstand, till we finally make it through How long, I misunderstand, till we finally make it through How long, I misunderstand, till we finally make it through How long, I misunderstand, till we finally make it through How long, I misunderstand, till we finally make it through How long, I misunderstand, till we finally make it through How long, I misunderstand, till we finally make it through How long, I misunderstand, till we finally make it through How long, I misunderstand, till we finally make it through How long, I misunderstand, till we finally make it through How long, I misunderstand, till we finally make it through
