play "next bit" again 4 times then into verses

the verses are all played solely in the 6th string in

the same rhythm as "next bit"

1 Bodies fill the fields I see

2 Barking of machine gun fire does

3 Life planned out before my birth

E|0--0-0-0--0--0--0--0-0-0-0-|0--0-0-0--0--0--0-0-0-0-|

nothing to me now

nothing could I say.

E|3--3-3-3--3--3--3--3-3-3-3-|2--2-2-2--2--2--2-2-2-2-|

No one to play soldier now,

Sounding of the clock that ticks get

Had no chance to see myself

E|0--0-0-0--0--0--0--0-0-0-0-|0--0-0-0--0--0--0-0-0-0-|

no one to pretend.

moulded day by day.

E|3--3-3-3--3--3--3--3-3-3-3-|7--7-7-7--7--7--7-7-7-7-|

the second half of each verse follows the same pattern

Running blind through killing fields,

bred to kill them all.

Victim of what said should be,

a servant till I fall

Back to the front. You will do what I say, when I say.

Back to the front. You will die when I say you must die.

Back to the front. You coward, you servant, you blind man.

then with rhythm figure 2:

Why... am I dying? Kill... have no fear.

Lie... live off lying. Hell... hell is here.

then a big solo mostly played over E5 with occaisionally a C5 and maybe a D5

then with rhythm figure 2 again:

Why... am I dying? Kill... have no fear.

I was born for dying....
