Awoke to the sound of the dripping of water The wailing of shells far away I sat up and listened, I rose and got ready To greet the last day of my life Far away, I can hear your prayer And I know it means goodbye Far away, nothing I can say On the last day of my life All of the day, all the waiting It drives me insane Don't want to go, don't want to stay To find my fate Stuttering guns drawing ever nearer Faster the pounding of my heart in fear Far away, I can hear your prayer And I know it means goodbye Far away, nothing I can say On the last day of my life Standing in line, side by side All awaiting our doom The whistle blows Now the trenches will soon become tombs No more than men, we are not immortal No more than them, on the field we are equal Far away, I can hear your prayer And I know it means goodbye Far away, nothing I can say On the last day of my life Far away, I can hear your prayer And I know it means goodbye Stay with me, safe as i can be On the last day of my life Then there is nothing but the sound of silence It feels like I'm falling asleep I know you can't hear me But you will remember This was the last day of my life
