《City of Tragedy》歌词

[00:00:00] far away - sir reg

[00:00:20] there was only unemploymet

[00:00:22] there the day that i left school

[00:00:25] were many words and promises

[00:00:27] and talk of home rule

[00:00:30] so i joined the british

[00:00:32] army and i sold away my soul

[00:00:35] and went off to foreign

[00:00:36] lands to fight an enemy unknown

[00:00:40] well me and twenty other

[00:00:42] lads all from the culdesac

[00:00:45] we ended up together in the

[00:00:48] same old muddy trench

[00:00:50] ah young doyler lost his marbles

[00:00:52] and the others tried to cope

[00:00:55] as they sent the boys out one by one

[00:00:58] into the barb and smoke

[00:01:00] far away far away

[00:01:05] ah they're dying on the battlefields for nothing

[00:01:10] far away far away

[00:01:15] but i promised that i'd come back home to mother

[00:01:21] the first week went so slowly

[00:01:23] we lost many of our men

[00:01:25] i couldn't sleep at all beneath

[00:01:28] the earth of no man's land

[00:01:31] and i tried to help my comrades

[00:01:33] who'd lived horror through the night

[00:01:36] all the youth and laughter disappeared

[00:01:38] replaced by fear and spite

[00:01:41] deevy from the culdesac got hit between the eyes

[00:01:46] he didn't see it coming and

[00:01:48] he fell beneath the skies

[00:01:51] well i'd known him since the

[00:01:52] age of ten and sat with him in school

[00:01:56] ah what the hell are we doing here

[00:01:58] no hope for me or you

[00:02:01] far away far away

[00:02:06] ah they're dying on the battlefields for nothing

[00:02:11] far away far away

[00:02:16] but i promised that i'd come back home to mother

[00:02:41] then winter came and battered us

[00:02:44] an enemy of new

[00:02:46] brought many fears and tragedies

[00:02:49] to last a whole life through

[00:02:51] i was promised an adventure

[00:02:53] but this is a living hell

[00:02:56] the reality of war is nothing like the posters sell

[00:03:01] far away far away

[00:03:06] ah they're dying on the battlefields for nothing

[00:03:11] far away far away

[00:03:16] but i promised that i'd come back home to mother

[00:03:22] far away far away

[00:03:26] ah they're dying on the battlefields for nothing

[00:03:32] far away far away

[00:03:37] but i promised that i'd come back home to mother
