As the drum roll started on that day
Heard a hundred miles away
million shells were fired
And the green fields turned to grey
The bombardment lasted all day long
Yet the forts were standing strong
Heavily defended
Now the trap has been sprung and the battle has begun
Descend into darkness
Three-hundred-three days below the sun
Fields of Verdun
And the battle has begun
Nowhere to run
Father and son
Fall one by one
Under the gun
Thy will be done (thy will be done)
And the judgement has begun
Nowhere to run
Father and son
Fall one by one
( )
Fields of Verdun
Though a million shells have scarred the land
No one has the upper hand
From the ground above to trenches
Where the soldiers make their stand
As the trenches slowly turn to mud
And then quickly start to flood
Death awaits in every corner
As they die in the mud, fill the trenches with blood
Descend into darkness
Three-hundred-three days below the sun
Fields of Verdun
And the battle has begun
Nowhere to run
Father and son
Fall one by one
Under the gun
Thy will be done (thy will be done)
And the judgement has begun
Nowhere to run
Father and son
Fall one by one

Fields of Verdun
Fields of execution
Turned to wasteland from the grass
Thou shalt go no further
It was said: "They shall not pass!"
The spirit of resistance and the madness of the war
So...
Go ahead!
Face the led!
Join the dead!
Though you die!
Where you lie!
Never asking why!
Descend into darkness
Three-hundred-three days below the sun
Fields of Verdun
And the battle has begun
Nowhere to run
Father and son
Fall one by one
Under the gun
Thy will be done (thy will be done)
And the judgement has begun
Nowhere to run
Father and son
Fall one by one
Fields of Verdun
