about

“We are so good at live out that we have no notion why living."

lyrics

“The sight of a comrade being shattered
The hearing of cries of the wounded
The smell of rotten human flesh
The touch on the lifeless skin
The taste of fear in the guts
The expected outcome”

“The Rules of Chivalry
The Rules of Engagement
Only exist to be broken…
In that day of December 19th, 1915
We, the dead, didn’t know this could happen”

A soldier shouts:
“Hey, look! That yellow smoke coming from the hill…”

A yellow line of clouds invaded the trenches.
Bringing a sweet pineapple aroma
with a touch of pepper
GAS!

We coughed
Our burning throats
And red blurred eyes
It’s hard to breathe
As under that yellow sea I saw them drowning

Almost erased by time
As something so trifling
You see our faces and our bodies
Digging old photos on fast computers
You sense about our fate In this distant past

Another gas attack
Now it’s the turn of the Germans to turn on the British
The cloud spread out
Around one thousand casualties
And one hundred deaths

It seems just another account
Of war losses
But that was not all
Remember us as human beings
Killed in a war with no limits
If it happened once
It can happen again

We still cough
Our throats still burn
Our eyes keep blurred
It's always hard to breathe
As under that yellow sea
A feeling of eternal drowning…
