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
