The Bite and Sting Lyrics

I've spent days in this trench in the snow, just my gun by my side
It's cold and wet and you're all alone, up keeping watch at night
The bite and the sting the bitter cold bring reminds you that you're still alive
The hope and the pride that we all hold inside seems to break when another boy dies
The bite and the sting the bitter cold bring makes you wish that you werent still alive
The hope and the pride we all hold inside seems to break, seems to break
We aint seen no Germans for days, we're just tired and sore
And it feels like I'm wasted away, so I drink from my flask to stay warmEvery bomb miles away, every faded engine cry
Still makes your heart start to race, keeps you praying at night
It's too quiet, too calm, for something not to be wrong so we sit as brothers in arms
We wait and we shake, hear the roar of the tanks and the gunfire of the on-coming storm
The ring in our ears, the cold rush of fear overtakes us with the enemy in sight.
We stager but dont falter, I aim and pull the trigger and we fight, we fight, we fightBut it all happens too fast, the blood of the sweat in my eyes
For every man killed seem two of my friends fall to dieIm down on my knees feel the pain in my gut and the snow is covered in blood
Crawl to my captains side with his head on my knee says See too it, that my grave is kept clean.I wake in a hospital bed
Just rows and rows and rows of dying kids
And I know my whole infantry is dead
