The Price of a Mile

Hear the sound of a machinegun

Hear it echo in the night

Mortars firing rains the scene

Scars the fields

that once were greenIt's a stalemate at the frontline

where the soldiers rest in mud

roads and houses

all is gone

there is no glory to be wonknow that many men will suffer

know that many men will die

half a million lives at stake

Ask the fields of PasschendaeleAnd as the night falls the general calls

and the battle carries on and on

What is the purpose of it all

What's the price of a mile?Thousands of feet march to the beat

It's an army on the march

Long way from home

Paying the price in young men's lives

Thousands of feet march to the beat

It's an army in despair

Knee-deep in mud

Stuck in the trench with no way outThousands of machineguns

Kept on firing through the night

Mortars blazed and wrecked the scene

Guns in the fields that once were greenStill a deadlock at the frontline

Where the soldiers die in mud

roads and houses since long gone

still no glory has been won

know that many men has suffered

know that many men has diedSix miles of ground has been won

Half a million men are gone

And as the men crawled the general called

And the killing carried on and on

What's the purpose of it all?

What's the price of a mile?Thousands of feet march to the beat

It's an army on the march

Long way from home

Paying the price in young men's lives

Thousands of feet march to the beat

It's an army in despair

Knee-deep in mud

Stuck in the trench with no way outYoung men are dying

They pay the price

Oh how they suffer

So tell me what's the price of a mileThat's the price of a mile.Thousands of feet march to the beat

It's an army on the march

Long way from home

Paying the price in young men's lives

Thousands of feet march to the beat

It's an army in despair

Knee-deep in mud

Stuck in the trench with no way out
