Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Bodies fill the fields I see, hungry heroes end No one to play soldier now, no one to pretend Running blind through killing fields, bred to kill them all Victim of what said should be a servant 'til I fall [Pre-Chorus] Soldier boy, made of clay, now an empty shell Twenty-one, only son, but he served us well Bred to kill, not to care, do just as we say Finished here, greetings, death, he's yours to take away [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] Barking of machine gun fire does nothing to me now Sounding of the clock that ticks, get used to it somehow More a man, more stripes you bare, glory seeker trends Bodies fill the fields I see, the slaughter never ends [Pre-Chorus] Soldier boy, made of clay, now an empty shell Twenty-one, only son, but he served us well Bred to kill, not to care, do just as we say Finished here, greetings, death, he's yours to take away [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] Why am I dying? Kill, have no fear Lie, live off lying Hell, hell is here [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] Why am I dying? Kill, have no fear Lie, live off lying Hell, hell is here I was born for dying [Verse 3] Life planned out before my birth, nothing could I say Had no chance to see myself, molded day by day Looking back I realize, nothing have I done Left to die with only friend, alone, I clench my gun [Pre-Chorus] Soldier boy, made of clay, now an empty shell Twenty-one, only son, but he served us well Bred to kill, not to care, do just as we say Finished here, greetings, death, he's yours to take away [Chorus] 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 Back to the front [Post-Chorus] Back to the front Back to the front Back to the front Back to the front [Instrumental Outro]
