Lyrics for Coward (feat. Sasha Boole)

My father said - son, your country needs you Come join the king's army in the final breakthrough The officer told me - shut up and attack In no man's land sludge I'm firmly stuck I saw private Baker with his guts in the mud He called for his mother coughed up blood I found all my squad mates in a shell hole They all were dead, shredded as coal And I ran thru this scorched soil as fast as I can Threw out all my weapons, my helmet and bags A sudden wave of fear choked me out I forgot my own name and I had to run Near the Menin Road Ridge I sat under a tree When thеy suddenly stumbled upon me Thеy said I'm a slacker, I'm a coward and rat Corporal pulled out his gun and shot me in the head My father said - son, your country needs you Come join the king's army in the final breakthrough
