MY EYES HAD JUST COME OPEN
WHEN I HEARD THE BUGLE CALL
TODAY WOULD HAVE NEW MEANING
WHETHER I STAND OR FALL
I STUMBLED TO THE MUSTER
I LOOKED FROM LEFT TO RIGHT
THE MEN I SAW THERE STANDING
WOULD BE WITH ME THROUGH THE FIGHT
MY HEART STARTED BEATING FASTER
IN MY EYE THERE WAS A TEAR
BUT THERE WAS NO MAN AMONG US
WHO WOULD DARE TO SHOW THEIR FEAR
THE CANNON STARTED FIRING
THE DUST LAY ALL AROUND
MY STOMACHE STARTED KNOTTING
AND MADE A RUMBLING SOUND
IN A LINE WE STARTED FORWARD
WE KNEW WE WOULD NOT STOP
OUR NUMBERS THEY GOT THINNER
AS ONE BY ONE WE DROPPED
AS WE STARTED SLOWING DOWN
NOT WISHING TO BE FIRST
SOMEONE SHOUTED COME ON LADS
LETS GIVE THEM ONE MORE BURST
THEN AN OFFICER STEPPED FORWARD
HIS UPPER LIP ALL STIFF
COME ON LADS HE SHOUTED
WE ARE THE 35th
