Letter From A Distant Shore

Intro Verse Dear brother, you would not believe What these killing fields, force my eyes to see From a snipers post, with a trembling hand Put a bullet in.....to another man Watch the crimson bloom, on his uniform Billow like a cloud, ‘till his life was gone The killers stain heavy on me now Fix my bayonet for the final hour When that whistle blows, its mournful sound Will deliver me to the hungry mouth Of the howling hounds of hell Bridge Verse When the snowball comes, the recruitment drive Don’t let your heart swell up, with unfounded pride For a distant King, you’d be fighting for Lay you down to waste, on a distant shore The killers stain heavy on me now Fix my bayonet for the final hour When that whistle blows, its mournful sound Will deliver me to the hungry mouth Of the howling hounds of hell Coda - repeat until fade
