Hiding, covering

There's no time to blench

We are going to die

Stuck down in this trench

With no safe escape

Waiting, for backups

Which may never come

In this bloody madness

We'll have to hang on

To one killing hope

Taught to obey and serve

Succeed at any price

Dreaming for a miracle

But meant to sacrifice

Say your final prayers

As the captain said

'cause tomorrow morning

We'll be dead

Wait for the cavalry

War rages on the battlefield

Nothing to do but hope

For the cavalry to come

We are on our own!

Digging, crawling

Creeping in the mud

Rain of shells and bullets

Spilling out our blood

We fall one by one

Searching, for shelter

In the dug-out nest

Enemies are closing-in

Will it ever ends?

The onslaught begins

Slaughtered by the artillery

Way out of supplies

Hiding under corpses

Between rats and fleas and lice

Say your final prayers

As the captain said

We'll be storming towards

No man's land

Wait for the cavalry

War rages on the battlefield

Nothing to do but hope

For the cavalry to come

We are on our own!

The runner came

Brought down our faith

We were left to fight their war

The runner came

The message said

"There's no backups you're alone!"

Wait for the cavalry

War rages on the battlefield

Nothing to do but hope

For the cavalry to come

We are on our own!
