Awoke to the sound of the dripping of water
The wailing of shells far away, I sat up and listened
I rose and got ready, to greet the last day of my life
Far away, I can hear your prayer, and I know it means goodbye
Far away, nothing I can say, on the last day of my life
All of the day, all the waiting, it drives me insane
Don't want to go, don't want to stay to find my fate
Stuttering guns drawing ever nearer, faster the pounding of my heart in fear
Far away, I can hear your prayer, and I know it means goodbye
Far away, nothing i can say, on the last day of my life
Standing in line, side by side, all awaiting our doom
The whistle blows, now the trenches will soon become tombs
No more than men, we are not immortal
No more than them, on the field we are equal
Far away, I can hear your prayer, and I know it means goodbye
Far away, nothing I can say, on the last day of my life
Far away, I can hear your prayer, and I know it means goodbye
Stay with me, safe as I can be, on the last day of my life
Then there is nothing but the sound of silence, it feels like I'm falling asleep
I know you can't hear me, but you will remember
This was the last day of my life
