Maggie, I'll no

Hindenburg and Lundendorf still cling to victory
But after Passchendaele that isn't wise
But they can't be seen surrendering the fight
So they pass it

Know that many men will die
Half a million lives at stake
Ask the fields of Passchendaele

And as the night falls the general calls
And the battle

Nothing's ever free, give life to me

Compare a struggle to passchendaele
Ash heart blows away to no avail

Kept on fighting, and never stopped
In Arras, Cambrai, Passchendaele

Lest we forget' so often said yet Passchendaele still painted red
How slowly time flies in
