One man down
No time to mourn
Two men down
Have to survive
These dead men are gone, now.
Three men down
Breathe and get through this
Swallow my pride and nausea
Four men down
Too much blood
Too much mud
I'm losing my mind....and my mates
Five men down
Falling bodies
Flying bullets
No, No, No
Six men down
No.
I cannot do this anymore.
...Oh no, a flying shell
Seven men down,
I'm sorry I let the king down
But tell ma I loved her.
