Fields Of Verdun Lyrics - Sabaton

As the drum roll started on that day, heard a hundred miles away 

A million shells were fired and the green fields turned to grey 

The bombardment lasted all day long, 

yet the forts were standing strong 

Heavily defended, 

now the trap has been sprung and the battle has begun 

Descend into darkness 

303 days below the sun 

Fields of Verdun 

And the battle has begun 

Nowhere to run 

Father and son 

Fall one by one 

Under the gun

Thy will be done 

And the judgement has begun 

Nowhere to run 

Father and son 

Fall one by one 

Fields of Verdun 

Though a million shells have scarred the land, 

no one has the upper hand 

From the ground above to trenches, 

where the soldiers make their stand 

As the trenches slowly turn to mud, 

and then quickly start to flood 

Death awaits in every corner, 

as they die in the mud, 

fill the trenches with blood 

Descend into darkness 

303 days below the sun

Fields of Verdun 

And the battle has begun 

Nowhere to run 

Father and son 

Fall one by one 

Under the gun 

Thy will be done 

And the judgement has begun 

Nowhere to run 

Father and son 

Fall one by one 

Fields of Verdun 

Fields of execution turned to wasteland from the grass 

Thou shalt go no further it was said they shall not pass 

The spirit of resistance and the madness of the war 

So... 

Go ahead! 

Face the led! 

Join the dead! 

Though you die! 

Where you lie! 

Never asking why! 

Descend into darkness 

303 days below the sun 

Fields of Verdun 

And the battle has begun 

Nowhere to run 

Father and son 

Fall one by one 

Under the gun 

Thy will be done 

And the judgement has begun 

Nowhere to run 

Father and son 

Fall one by one
