The Price Of A Mile Lyrics - Sabaton

Throw your soldiers into positions once there is no escape, and they will prefer death to flight. 

Hear the sound of the machine gun 

Hear it echo in the night 

Mortars firing, rains the scene 

Scars the fields that once were green 

It's a stalemate at the front line 

Where the soldiers rest in mud 

Roads and houses, all is gone 

There's no glory to be won 

Know that many men will suffer 

know that many men will die 

Half a million lives at stake 

At the fields of Passchendale 

And as night falls the general calls and the battle carries on 

I long what is the purpose of it all 

What's the price of a mile

Thousands of feet march to the beat, it's an army on the march 

Long way from home, paying the price in young mens lives 

Thousands of feet march to the beat, it's an army in despair 

Knee-deep in mud, stuck in the trench with no way out 

Thousands of machine guns 

Kept on firing through the night 

Mortars placed and wreck the scene 

Gone is the fields that once were green 

Still a dead-lock at the front line 

Where the soldiers die in mud 

Roads and houses since long gone 

Still no glory has been won 

Know that many men has suffered 

Know that many men has died 

Six miles of ground has been won 

Half a million men are gone 

And as the men crawl the general call and the killing carry on 

I long what was the purpose of it all 

What's the price of a mile

Thousands of feet march to the beat, it's an army on the march 

Long way from home, paying the price in young mens lives 

Thousands of feet march to the beat, it's an army in despair 

Knee-deep in mud, stuck in the trench with no way out 

Young men are dying 

They pay the price 

Oh how they suffer 

So tell me what's the price of a mile 

That's the price of a mile 

Thousands of feet march to the beat, it's an army on the march 

Long way from home, paying the price in young mens lives 

Thousands of feet march to the beat, it's an army in despair 

Knee-deep in mud, stuck in the trench with no way out 

Thousands of feet march to the beat, it's an army on the march 

Long way from home, paying the price in young mens lives 

Thousands of feet march to the beat, it's an army in despair 

Knee-deep in mud, stuck in the trench with no way out 

Thousands of feet march to the beat, it's an army on the march 

Long way from home, paying the price in young mens lives 

Thousands of feet march to the beat, it's an army in despair 

Knee-deep in mud, stuck in the trench with no way out 

Thousands of feet march to the beat, it's an army on the march 

Long way from home, paying the price in young mens lives 

Thousands of feet march to the beat, it's an army in despair 

Knee-deep in mud, stuck in the trench with no way out
