Farewell To All That Lyrics - John Doyle - Shadow & Light - John Doyle

stumbling in and fumbling to 

another morning seeping through 

head bowed down as we battled the gloom 

cries of lamentation 

all my promises 

all my dreams 

have slid and slided 

through the seams 

all my joy 

and hope it seems 

has died here in the trenches 

Another sniper hits his mark 

one more hero cries in the dark 

the general sips tea and signs his mark 

and we all just follow orders 

up the ladder 

off we go 

to face the hunt 

of Harry Dafoe 

over the top 

move down, crouch low 

that expendable Irish soldier 

Farewell to all of that 

the bloody iron hand 

Farewell to all of that 

we're bound for no man's land 

Farewell to all of that 

the bloody iron hand 

Farewell to all of that 

we're bound for no man's land 

well we joined the dublin Fusiliers 

the bold 16 

the four would fear
