Lyrics

Here in this field,
where soldiers lie
like dolls scattered side to side,
these men bravely came to fight
and died.
Here in this field
the mud runs red,
embracing the dead.
Please let me find my love.
Let him be alive!
Here in this field,
one lifeless form
I know, though broken and torn.
My fears in anguish I have borne.
I mourn
here in this field.

This obscene waste
of lives, more than I can take.
I won't let them die in vain.
Our flame
will rise from this field.
The mud runs red,
embracing the dead.
I must go on, my love,
since you gave your life
here in this field.
One moment more,
my heart. One more kiss before
this calm gives way to the storm.
I mourn
you in this field.
