Shadows lengthening Ninety-five steps I'm taking With every step I'm longing For the luck to keep on living
The drum calls me back again To my senses, filled with shame
Oh, that this night Would never end And on No Man's Land The sun would not rise again
There was laughing, and I could not laugh There was singing, and I could not sing The big guns called me back again The big guns called me back again The big guns called me back again
I hear voices sing I hear the guns begin Far off, and far away I hear the guns again I hear the guns again I hear the guns again
