07 - Over the Trenches (album version)

[instrumental intro, gunfire, machine gun, acoustic guitar] [Verse 1:] In the mud and the mire, under the rain, We stand tall, Coldstream Guards, in endless pain. The shells scream overhead, the ground shakes below, But we hold our line, through the fire and the snow. [Chorus:] Over the trenches, into the fray, We fight for tomorrow, we bleed for today. Through the smoke and the haze, we march on, Coldstream Guards, till the dawn. [Verse 2:] The rations are scarce, and the nights are long, But we sing our songs, and we stay strong. With our rifles in hand, and our hearts full of pride, We face the enemy, side by side. [Instrumental solo, drums, heavy guitar, sinth, gunfire] [Bridge:] The barbed wire cuts deep, the gas fills the air, But we soldier on, with a silent prayer. For the lads back home, and the ones who've fallen, We'll fight to the end, no matter what's callin'. [Chorus:] Over the trenches, into the fray, We fight for tomorrow, we bleed for today. Through the smoke and the haze, we march on, Coldstream Guards, till the dawn. [Verse 3:] The whistle blows, and we go over the top, Into the hellfire, where the bullets don't stop. But we push on, with our bayonets gleaming, Through the smoke and the chaos, our spirits unyielding. [Outro:] Over the trenches, into the fray, We fight for tomorrow, we bleed for today. Through the smoke and the haze, we march on, Coldstream Guards, till the dawn.
