Anthem For Doomed Youth Lyrics - Criteria Ov 666 - Void Of Silence

an ecstasy of flumbling 

fitting the helmets just in time 

but someone still was yelling out and stumbling 

and foundring like a man in fire or lime 

through the misty panes and thick green light 

as under a green sea, i saw him drowning 

the creatures in the frost's breath 

blasphemy in my eyes 

the holy sin for the glory 

all... in my dreams, before the helpless sight 

i come, falling in the dark 

the world and men are hurting me! 

the world and men are hurting me! 

in my dream before the helpless sight 

the great hymn... 

in my dreams, before the helpless sight 

i come, falling in the dark 

for all... follow me 

our sword is truth, our shield is faith and honor 

in age or youth, our hearts and minds we pledge 

though we may day, to save our people and land 

this cause will stand, our millions marching on 

we close our ranks in loyalty and courage 

the god our thanks for comrades tried and true 

let traitors squail and fear the wrath of honest men 

who rise again to smash the devil's throng 

we march and fight to death or on to victory 

our might is bright, no traitors shall prevail 

our hearts are steeled against the fiery gates of hell 

no shot or shell can still our mighty song 

can still our mighty song 

your honor in my heart 

oh falling earth 

covered with pestilence and death... 

what passing bells for these who die as cattle 

only the monstrous anger of the guns 

only the stuttering rifle's rapid rattle 

can patter out their hasty orisons 

no mockeries now for them, no prayers nor bells 

nor any voice of mourning save the choirs 

the shrill, demented choirs of wailing shells 

and bugles calling for them from sad shires 

what candles may be held to speed them all? 

not in the hands of boys but in their eyes 

shall shine the holy glimmers of goodbyes 

it is sweet and meet fitting to die for ones country.
