Written by

Verse 1:
Make his fight
on the hill in the early day
Constant chill
deep inside
Shouting gun on
they run through the endless grey
On they fight,
for they’re right, yes, but who’s to say?
For a hill, men
would kill, why? They do not know
Suffered wounds
test their pride
Men of five
still alive through the raging blow
Gone insane
from the pain that they surely know
Chorus:
For whom the
bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the
bell tolls
Verse 2:
Take a look to
the sky just before you die
It’s the last
time you will
Blackened raw,
massive roar fills the crumbling sky
Shattered goal
fills their soul with a ruthless cry
Stranger now
are his eyes to the mystery
Here’s the
silence so loud
Crack of dawn
all is gone except the will to be
Now they see
what will be, blinded eyes to see
Chorus:
For whom the
bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the
bell tolls
