Who fed you to the lions 
When hanging from a tree 
It's a case of melancholy 
There's no tourists at the sea 
Twelve saw decaying monuments 
While marching on attack 
Eleven watched a single 
Thus continued on the march 
Oh, oh 

Pin point toward horizon 
Convalescent to the last 
A moment lost of imagery 
The last word to the cast 
Won't you listen to the danger 
I can't listen any more 
Oh, oh. 
This...oh, oh oh! 
This...oh, oh oh! 
This...to march along 
This...on undwelt seed 
This...is a panorama 
This...is a soldier's creed. 

From this came a stranger 
All the marching seemed to halt 
From this came a moment 
Then the march led to assault 
The dwellers took position 
While commanding genocide 
The enemy were helpless 
And there's lots more besides 
Oh, oh 


This...to march along 
This...on undwelt seed 
This...is a panorama 
This...is a soldier's creed. 
This...oh, oh oh 
This...oh, oh oh
