Attrition Of Fear lyrics

Music & Lyrics: R. Alvarez



On the cliffs of Gallipoli

Lies the scars of a long dead battle

ANZAC soldiers were forced to fight

In a war that wasn`t theirs

Youthful warriors, searching for glory

Found nothing but a land of demise

Endless hunger, hatred and combat

Waiting to strike one down

Thus the attrition of fear began

PAIN is grinding our bodies away

GREAT FEAR is driving our minds insane

ANGUISH will never conquer us

We`re fighting to the bitter end!



Relentless attacks through No-man`s Land

Left the land drunk with blood

Scores of soldiers cut down as they charged

Slowly filling No-man`s Land

Death`s stench rides the wind

Rising from rotting corpses

Of humans who were once killers

But the fury of war had seized their lives

Thus the attrition of fear went on



Here, even the boldest warriors cry out in pain

Fearing the sheer horror of being shredded to death

Some being born as the unknown soldier

Others blown into nothingness

Severed limbs, horrid mutilations

All the common horrors of war!



Solo 1 & 2: Joe



PAIN is grinding our bodies away

GREAT FEAR is driving our minds insane

ANGUISH will never conquer us

We`re fighting to the bitter end!



The slain lay everywhere

Retreat was the only solution

For the living to return home

Forever would their minds be torn

Thus the great battle was over

The dead returned to their homeland

They were once all gallant soldiers

How have the mighty fallen

Thus the attrition of fear has ceased.......



.......For now
