Verse

So your glory and your grace they said

 For our homeland and the crown

 Hey hooray they sang we go to war

 And flowers led their way to fate

Chorus

 So he whispered in her ear goodbye

 Held her tight for a kiss goodbye

 Then turned the way from love to leave

 For those heroic fields of grief

Verse

Heaven's torn apart, brought hell on down

Down at foot of dead man's hill

Barrage fire threw their pride to mud

Torn glory, shattered grace to ground

Chorus

Where she whispered in his ear goodbye

Held him tight for a kiss goodbye (goodbye)

Then turned to leave, to fade away

/*fourth line is left out*/

Still her whisper's in his ear, goodbye

Then a lonely dreadful trench, goodbye (goodbye)

Please stay with me, stay by my side

His bitter cry vanished in the night

Interlude

electi sumus

consecrati sumus

in honorem deae

sacraficati //2x

Chorus

Where was god the day hell came on down

On those tortured souls of dead man's hill

In sheer disgust he'd turned his face

/*fourth line is left out*/

And then whispered in his ear goodbye

In a lonely dreadful trench goodbye

God turned away from love to leave

And his bitter cry remains in grief
