Dark Order - Attrition Of Fear lyrics

[Music & Lyrics: Raul Ignacio Alvarez] On the cliffs of Gallipoli Lies the scars of a long dead battle ANZAC soldiers were forced to fight In a war that wasn't theirs Youthful warriors, searching for glory Found nothing but a land of demise Endless hunger, hatred and combat Waiting to strike one down Thus the attrition of fear began PAIN is grinding our bodies away GREAT FEAR is driving our minds insane ANGUISH will never conquer us We're fighting to the bitter end! Relentless attacks through No-man's Land Left the land drunk with blood Scores of soldiers cut down as they charged Slowly filling No-man's Land Death's stench rides the wind Rising from rotting corpses Of humans who were once killers But the fury of war had seized their lives Thus the attrition of fear went on Here, even the boldest warriors cry out in pain Fearing the sheer horror of being shredded to death Some being born as the unknown soldier Others blown into nothingness Severed limbs, horrid mutilations All the common horrors of war! [Solo 1 & 2: Joe Olic] PAIN is grinding our bodies away GREAT FEAR is driving our minds insane ANGUISH will never conquer us We're fighting to the bitter end! The slain lay everywhere Retreat was the only solution For the living to return home Forever would their minds be torn Thus the great battle was over The dead returned to their homeland They were once all gallant soldiers How have the mighty fallen Thus the attrition of fear has ceased... ...For now
