Chamber - L'orchestre De Chambre Noir Dead Man's Hill Lyrics

To your glory and your grace, they said
For our homeland and the crown
Hey - hooray! they sung, we go to war!
And flowers lead their way to fate

So he whispered in her ear, goodbye
Held her tight for a kiss, goodbye
Then turned away from love to leave
For those heroic fields of grief

Heaven's torn apart, brought hell on down
Down at foot of Dead Man's Hill
Barrage fire threw their pride to mud
Torn glory, shattered grace to ground

Where she whispered in his ear, goodbye
Held him tight for a kiss, goodbye
Then turned to leave, to fade away Still her whisper's in his ear, goodbye
In a lonely dreadful trench, goodbye
Please stay with me, stay by my side
His bitter cry, vanished in the night..

ELECTI SUMUS
CONSECRATI SUMUS
IN HONOREM DEAE
SACRAFICATI ET ABDICATI

Where was god, the day hell came on down
On those tortured souls of Dead Man's Hill?
In sheer disgust, he'd turned his face
And then whispered in his ear, goodbye
In a lonely dreadful trench, goodbye
God turned away from love to leave
And his bitter cry remains in grief…
